FAQ

Common questions

How do downloads work?

Hit download on an episode or movie page. Files download over 6 parallel connections and resume if interrupted. The batch wizard queues a whole season. Change the location under Settings → download folder.

How do the Anime4K shaders work?

Settings → Display: pick from five modes — Off, Sharp (ewa_lanczossharp), Light (DTD), Ultra (CNN UL), and Light + Sharpening (DTD + unsharp filter). Light uses low GPU; Ultra maximizes quality.

Does it auto-update?

The AppImage build checks GitHub Releases on each launch. If a new version is available, a notification asks for confirmation. Disable via Settings → Auto-update.

Is this official?

No. AnimeciX is an unofficial third-party client. It uses a public API; use at your own responsibility, without harming the service provider.

Which distros are supported?

Any modern Linux with GTK4, libadwaita and MPV. Tested: Fedora 40+, Ubuntu 24.04+, Arch, openSUSE Tumbleweed, EndeavourOS.
