Guys there's a semi-official database for just this question. http://sougouwiki.com/
It's pure Japanese so a little hard to use for your civilians. But you don't have to know any Japanese to use it. Enter a video code in the search box and hit the button to the right, you get a few links back in the search results. Typical there are some (or just 1) actress pages and 1 or more video pages. Ignore the actress pages, find the video page and nav to it. A page may have up to 200 or even more vids on one page (yeah it's very old fashion web design), e.g. HUNTA-201~400. Do a "find in page" with your vid code and you will see the cover and some info, most useful being (almost) all actress names in the vid, including all the names missing from DMM.
Now it's not 100% foolproof. Some rather minor or new video series may not be covered, and some (SOD mostly) video series, it seems, hire real amateurs who really don't have a JAV name. But I bet it will satisfy 95+% of you "who's in that vid" questions.
Of course you can search by actress name and get all her vids (more comprehensive than almost any other website). But sometimes you get (newbie?) idol who doesn't have her own page on Sougouwiki yet. You can still find her from video id.
I actually wrote a semi-auto program to bulk-parse Sougouwiki table (with the 200 vids) and bulk-insert the actress name to my JAV database.

Adding on to Ding's post, you can also use https://seesaawiki.jp/pre_shiro/ for info on actress from videos that are LUXU / ARA / ORE / OREC based.
Hi, can you explain what do you mean by sorted by categories in Emby? I would also very interested to know how you create collections by actresses, do you do that manually or there is a plugin/script that can automate this collections creation process?
Thanks so much for sharing.
except for the actresses I really like, I seldom watch a JAV title more than once, but I have a bad habit of hoarding.
@George1980 @avatarthe There is a command-line tool called "Javinizer" that is similar to JavMovieScraper that also can set your Emby thumbs:

I haven't used it yet, but the author is also working on GUI support.

Haha - username checks out. I have ~30TB here on a Snapraid + MergerFS box running ubuntu. I made a choice 4 years ago to pare things down, otherwise I was headed into your territory. It's just too easy to download and hoard nowadays.
I'm old school and like to manually input and manually control things so I use PVD (it's been mentioned here before)
some useful things:
sort by studio
sort by actress
sort by genre
control what fields you want to show
direct play
web search function for sougouwiki to find covers

For those of us who have over 20k movies in the library, the manual method simply isn't feasible anymore. According to the Emby developers on their official forum, the upcoming release of Emby would add support for filtering by "tags", which, would provide the function to sort the movies by studio, actress, genre, and other tags defined in the NFO file, really looking forward to the next new release of Emby.
I use Javinizer and Emby, best combo so far, in particular Javinizer it make it very fast to organize your library!

Using Javinizer you can do that automagically.
I have been using the Javinizer and Emby for my JAV library management as you do, and I fully agree that it is by far the best combo for the task, but Javinizer does not always find all the metadata for all JAV titles, therefore I also use JAVMovieScraper and others to scrape the metadata for those that missed by the Javinizer.
YIKES 20k vids and 100TB, I commend you all. It's like you guys are building a Noah's Ark for JAV, I do hope that you will consider sharing in the future.
I don't think there is anything better out there (at least for english speaker), saw github of what seemed to be an interesting EMBY plugin but it was not in english and it did not appear to be crawling result in English. If I'll find it again I will share the reference here.
I store my JAV on my NAS and I'm running a local Emby server on it.
I wrote my own tool for scraping various websites to fill my Emby server with metadata. I didn't know about "Javinizer" but my tool does almost the same. It scrapes duga.jp, r18.com, dmm.co.jp, javlibrary and some other fetish sites that are missing from "Javinizer". I will probably stick to my tool because it sets the metadata exactly as I want it and it is fun to tinker with it.
