How do you other JAV hoarders sort and store your videos?

I am a card carrying hoarder. Yes I am... And I obsess over data also. Totally pointless maybe but I can't help myself. I wrote a Python program to scrap JAV data. It's nowhere near as pretty and automated as JAVmoviescraper but my program has a huge advantage that I care about, it's bilingual (Japanese + English).

But with the world changes lately... something very odd is happening... I am getting lazy about data collecting. I download a vid, watch it once or thrice then just leave it there or randomly dump on a HDD lying around. Not taking care to track all the data, sorting it according to my own "system". Already happened that I download the same vid twice because I didn't keep track of my collection recently.

I keep telling myself to stop wasting time on organizing and backing-up my porn. Just fap (or fuck) and be done with it. Maybe now is the time to start the road of recovery... Fap more hoard less.

I've been using JAVmovieScraper to scrape video metadata and then using emby to keep videos sorted by categories and favorites. I've also used "collections" to sort my favorite actresses. Looking into a different scraper but these 2 have been working for me really nicely.

I too use JAVmoviescraper and Emby! Have you figured out a way for it to show the actresses picture in the cast listing? It’s very annoying just having the just the name when I know the photo is downloaded too.

@avatarthe i haven't messed with that since my scrapes are all over the place and sometimes doesn't get the actresses. I categorize through genres and separate my favorite actresses into collections.
@cloudmain I would do the same except now that site is loaded with dead links from everywhere. Theres no real way to say something is safe online because of dmca, unless you pay for it on r18 or download it yourself.

I used to store on discs but found it pretty annoying to always swap to find the video i wanted. Also, a little scratch ruined the disc, and 5gb is barely 1 movie for 1080p jav sometimes.

I just google the code and find a site to watch on. Is that wrong?

The question that I am curious is how much space in the hard drive you require to use it as a library for all the JAV?

BD DL is 50GB not 5 GB, it will hold a few FHD even 4k vids per disc. But DL is not cost effective. I used 25GB single layer discs for a while. When I got to almost 150 discs I gave up and (finally) switch to HDD for JAV hoarding. I have a bunch older HDD (500GB to 2TB) gathering dust anyway. And got a 4TB drive for the new vids.

I just keep my movies, clips, and jpgs together in loosely organizised HDD folders, backed up.

I currently save my collection across 25 external HDDs. All of my HDDs all range from 5TB to 8TB. It's all organized in alphabetical order based on actress name. I have roughly 36TB reserved for the girls I would consider my favorites. It changes every few months but currently, there is 125 girls in said externals. I have an excel workbook to track all my movies with the movie ID, title name in Japanese and English all translated by myself since most English titles are just dumped into Google Translate which is inaccurate, file size of a movie which can range from less than 1GB to 36GB, a queue list of torrents (~2000 torrents), and a dashboard to say which HDD has said movie.

At this point, I have roughly 140TB which is about 12.5K movies. I only download THD quality movies and if that's not available, the highest quality available which is usually 5GB per movie.

...are you amassing a complete archive of all the JAV ever produced and is thus being produced?
