Okay, so I wasn't going crazy. That at least explains some of what we were seeing, thanks.

Well, damn. And I still can't explain why your thumbnail's image looked different than the cover in a few subtle ways. Am I insane or do you see that too? What happens if you delete the cache, then move a copy of just that movie to it's own folder, then scan it at that new location? I'm kind...

Thanks. "Easy to install and use" was at the top of my list, for my own sake as well. As far as localizing the app and scraping Japanese (or Chinese, I suppose), two of the three websites I scrape are multi-lingual, so it's certainly possible. But keep in mind this is more a matter of...

That's very odd. JavLuv actually just displays a resized image as a thumbnail, but right-justifies it and cuts off everything to the left via clipping. The resized image is stored locally in a cache for fast refreshing I can't even imagine why this would happen. I tried reproducing this, and...

Oh, yeah... Hrm... unfortunately, thinking about this a bit, JavLuv isn't really going to work all that well for non-JAV movies with the way it's currently written. It relies on a unique DVD-ID code for just about everything it does internally. At some point, maybe I'll add a feature to allow...

You can add movies manually if you want. In Settings, there's an option Generate metadata if no online resources are found. Obviously, you'll have to fill in all information yourself. If a cover is not detected, or you want to change current cover, check Show advanced options in Settings...

Glad you're getting the hang of it. JavLuv was inspired by Javanizer, in that I liked what it claimed it could do, but good lord almighty, a program should NOT be that difficult to set up and use. I wanted to make a simple program that you'd just install and use. I can't make any promises...

The info you see in the detail view is everything that's been scraped and then filtered by the substitution tables in the Settings. You can change any or all of those freely, as well as manually editing any of the metadata yourself. To search by any of that info throughout your collection...

Erk. To be honest, I don't understand why this new version is working for you. I literally didn't do anything except to report a bit more information in the error dialog. I'm a little worried that the next version I release may not work. I mean, I'm glad it's working, but I really need to...

I've got a new build for you to try. Hopefully it should give a bit more info about the error we're seeing, so maybe that will spark some ideas. Also, in case it's not a fatal error, I don't force the app to close in this build. It may or may not crash anyhow, but worth a try...

I'm still trying to figure out what's going on there. So, yeah, there should no issues with your pre-requisites. I'll let you know when I have a build that gives a bit more info as to what you might be experiencing at startup.

Count is displayed in lower right corner.

You can just install or run the new version.

I've added a small fix that I believe may improve the reliability of the scanner, as well as speeding up the scanning process for larger collections. Would you mind installing this experimental build and seeing if this fixes the issue you're having? Setup_JavLuv.msi JavLuv.zip

I've got a hypothesis about what might be happening here. I think there's a bug in how JavLuv deals with scanning files when they're all in a single large folder. The original design assumed that each movie and all related files were in their own folders. Later, I added support for multiple...

Well, that's... not good. Shoot, I'm going to need more info than that. I'll let you know when I have an experimental build for you to download and try out, which should hopefully at least tell me which function it's crapping out on. What version of Windows are you running, incidentally...

Yes, you need to download the latest version. If you used the installer, you can just install on top of the current version. It will upgrade appropriately for you.

I've added an option to manually import cover images from the browser view. You must have Show advanced options checked in Settings. Right-click on a single image and you should be able to import a new image. The image you select will be moved next to and renamed identically to the...

Rori/Lori (ロリ) - "Loli", short for "Lolita", or a young, seductive-looking girl. Just the usual issue with Japanese not having a way to differentiate between L and R sounds.

So the metadata was found and the movies were added, but only the cover isn't shown? Did you notice if the covers were actually downloaded or not? I typically just download the covers myself, and if they have the name "cover", "title", or "poster" in the filename (adjustable in Settings)...

I'm really glad to hear it's working for you now. If you ever figure out exactly which combination of files or folders were confusing JavLuv, let me know. in theory, it's supposed to be able to handle just about any combination of files and folder, no matter how they're organized (as long as...

I'm still working on the issue, but haven't quite figured out what's going on. I did find and fix one bug that was preventing display of titles when the cache was not available on startup. I've got a new version of JavLuv listed on the first post, so go ahead and download from there if you...

Yeah, that's a known issue I plan to fix at some point. If you've already got .nfo metadata, JavLuv won't download covers for them. It will only do it at the same time it's scraping metadata from the web.

Oh, that's intersting. Have you noticed that it's only showing the movie covers in sub-folders? I'll see if I can replicate what's going on here and figure out a solution.

Thanks for the log. I had previously thought I spotted what was going on in the log, but when testing, I'm having no trouble downloading images for a selection of the movies I saw being scanned in your log file. I'm not quite sure why you're not seeing cover images. I may need to add some...

Could you post your JavLuv log file? There's a button down near the bottom of the Settings page which zips it up and copies the file to a destination folder. You can then attach it here or send it to me via private message, and I'll help try to figure out what's going on. JavLuv still has...

JavLuv has been updated with a few minor fixes and features: Updated title censor filters Auto-trim movie ID from front of titles Improve consistency of initial folder selection Add option to always show ID in thumbnail view Fixed incorrect default actress filter (sorry Nonoka) Added director...

JavLuv actually does make an attempt to store aliases if they're known by the websites being scraped. At the moment, though, they're not actually displayed in JavLuv, but you can still search by them. At some point, I'm hoping to implement an actress database and viewer in JavLuv, which will...

I maintain the links on the first post in this thread (same as my sig). You can download them from there.

JavLuv can get pretty close to this. Two caveats: JavLuv only has a YEAR field, not full date. Not sure if that matters to you. The other issue is that JavLuv stores and displays actress name in Western name order (given family) instead of traditional Japanese ordering (family given). I've...

I'll have to double-check, but I don't think that would work at the moment. Renaming/moving is kind of an all-or-nothing deal right now. What sort of folder structure do you use? Is it something you think JavLuv might be able to reproduce, or is it too customized? Regardless, I think that...

Fun Javluv facts: Did you know that JavLuv can use JAV titles when automatically renaming / organizing your collection? But it tries to be a bit smarter than your average bear JAV Organizer in several ways. First, there are a number of "illegal" characters that can't be used in folder or file...

Latest version on front page should be fixed now.

Scanning can only be done manually. However, the program does remember which folder you scanned last, so it should be a fairly painless process to quick re-scan when you have new movies. I'll give some thought as to how automatic scanning might work, but no promises.

The latest version of JavLuv already supports this. I always update the first post in this thread with the latest links, so you can download it from there. You can also auto-rename your collection using actress name as a parameter, like making a folder for each actress, etc..

Did you know that JavLuv can concatenate movies split into multiple parts? This occurred with JAV movies often enough I added this functionality to JavLuv for my own convenience. Just click "Concatenate movies..," then select the movie parts to join, and click "Concatenate". Wait a few...

Thanks! In Settings, there's an option near the top "Generate metadata from local files if online resource is not found" which is off by default. Check that, then use the Scan Movies option again, and those movies should be added. You'll then have to edit the metadata yourself. As far as...

Glad you find it useful. Although, the only practical way I know of to retrieve movie covers and descriptions is to scrape them from online sites like javlibrary.com and javdatabase.com, since I'm not aware of an all-encompassing downloadable database of JAV movies. And even then, keeping it...

Another minor JavLuv update: Fixed scrolling speed issue with ultra and high precision input devices Fixed potential errors in move/rename due to performance improvements in image refreshing Current scan directory now is better preserved if the directory is renamed or removed. Windows...

Excellent, thanks for testing that out. I'll make sure that patch is part of the next update.

It turns out the Windows precision trackpad is an "ultra precision device", and the UI framework JavLuv uses doesn't support those, so had to implement a bit of a workaround. I've created an experimental build for you to try. Could you test it out and see if scrolling using your trackpad feels...

Sounds good. I'll go ahead and rename the option then. "Recursive" is a bit of a programmer-ish term, I guess. I'm not really why you're scrolling is so fast. That's almost as far as when you click in the scrollbar below or above the thumb control, which is supposed to jump a page at a time...

I agree - until someone mentioned it, I didn't think of playing from the browser either. I'm also looking into implementing a manual backup of metadata and cover images as well, but between this and the ability to turn off destructive options, I think metadata is now a lot safer. I'm also...

Added a few new features, UI cleanup, and some bug fixes for this update. Movies can now be played from thumbnail view via right-click context menu or by selecting a movie and hitting spacebar All metadata is now automatically backed up in the AppData folder, and is automatically restored if...

Good idea. I've already added this to the next update.

I found a bug in the automatic move / rename feature. If you're using this feature, I'd recommend you delete your cache and rescan your files to fix a small discrepancy in the way folder names are stored in the cache. The discrepancy may cause other functions to fail (for instance, using the...

No problem. Glad you figured it out. Besides, no harm in adding more diagnostics to Javluv.

Okay, thanks. That at least gives me a place to start looking. I figured it was some sort of net connection failure, but now I have a specific place to start searching. I'll let you know if I have a new experimental build for you to try. Thanks for helping me to debug this issue.

Fixed crash on startup for first-time use. Windows installer: https://filejoker.net/nfrz0r6kah84/Setup_JavLuv.msi Portable/zipped: https://filejoker.net/kevi3k4f3e44/JavLuv.zip Alternate download: JavLuv.zip Setup_JavLuv.msi

Oh, damn. This is the first time you've installed and run it, right? I'm pretty sure I know what's going on. Anyone who just upgraded an existing installation (like me, obviously) should be fine. Ironically enough, it's crashing because of the new logging system I put in, which is designed...
