How do you scan your movies from your hard drive on "pesonnal video database" ?
I just install the plug in dmm movie info [JP]. But i stuck (and i dont find tuto on the web)

[Edit] i think i find it, it scans my hard drive. I will see if it works.

Aside
me too, I'm still burning my vids collection into DVD R discs

some vids that I think are not easy to get I burn it into several discs and store it in different case
I've got two folders with titles ready for burning. The capacity is 46.5 for the 50GB Blu-ray. I'll soon be able to test my idea. :D

I have it working a bit better, can search by star and DVD code. Later I'll try adding genre. What you see so far is searching my new CSV file where I've started warehousing to BD50 discs.

This is just an HTA file with VBScript and a CSV backend for the data. One CSS file for formatting the HTML and, of course, the thumbnails. That's it. No downloaded program, just a vision and some stolen time from the important things in life. It has to create two small text files (queryItem.txt and export.txt). Well...doesn't have to, I'm sure, but I was lazy and had it create instead of store in arrays or something. Actually, the export.txt was the only way I could get the CSS to work. What I'm working on now is to have the thumbnail raise up if the disc that title is on is in the disc tray.

JAD.hta - 7KB
style.css - 2KB
jad_s.gif - 2KB
app.ico - 2KB
library.csv - 19KB

The CSV file so far only has 272 SD titles that I"ve offloaded to 9 BD50 discs. You can see briefly in the image hover the BD disc the title is on and other title data. Just what I need, nothing fancy.

Note: The colors in the video look off, it's the screen capture program doing that, in front of you it looks fine.

A part of organization is knowing what to keep. I've made a tragic discovery. I did some benchmark testing on some old vids from an HDD I have on the side. I tried how they look in my Gear VR theater. Not too good, I must say. Compared to the 720x404 and higher vids out there, these older ones I have that are 640x360 (and somewhat lower)...OF COURSE look distorted and/or blurry in even medium motion. I was expecting that but hoping against it. That means of the tons I have I will have to decide the ones I truly want to hunt down at higher resolution so they'll look nice in the Theater. What's a boy to do...

Are you still working on this? It's really nice!

@tmas3 actually no, I've been busy with other things. I do, however, continue to feed it, so it is still growing at least in terms of titles it displays (I'm up to 850).

As of now I can search by DVD code, actress name, and disc. By disc I mean if I search by code or actress and hover over a DVD cover I can see what disc it is on. When I search, say, BD025 (the disc label), it displays all the titles on that disc. I'm still looking forward to getting this to work better for me, though.

So far I've been just been organizing my video's by studio but I've recently been looking into more graphical solutions. So far I've been using a program called Pornganizer which lets you put in name of stars and then link them to video along with tagging, unfortunately the latest version seems to be broke so I'm going back to V3. Also I've been backing up on multiple harddrives and Bluray data discs.

WinCatalog 2017. Only working solution I found. Catalogs hard drives. Creates thumbnails, then you can search through all drives. I have a mysql database to keep the stuff I like best, but there is too much JAV and porn from all over the world to keep track. It's a real real pain to enter all that info for all. Name, Date created, movie description, etc. Since I don't delete what I have, I have over xxx number of drives. The software allows me to see a list of all my drives ( which I label with a number). So if I want to search for any title, I type in a keyword and I know which drive its on. Unless you have just 300- 400 titles to keep track of. Unfortunately it's not free, but price not bad. I tried burning to Blu-Ray. Way too time consuming, I just buy new 5 TB drives, when on sale. One can go mad, keeping track of JAV.

The way I do it for my collection is by using these 5 essential softwares


1)Ultra Search

One of the fastest file searching software with wildcard capabilities, I put all my finished downloaded files at a directory and then use UltraSearch to delete all misc "advertisement" files that usually come with the download by searching just for the extension (example .mht or .url). I usually add 50+ downloads in my queue and can't be bothered to select just the movie files and photos

2) Bulk Rename Utility

After clearing all the junk files my next step is to name them properly and removing certain texts like [thz.la] or p2p.wowweeelubba.SNIS-404 for 200 folders isn't fun. This is one of the best tool for the job.

One of the most used function by me is to Rename files from foldername automatically, so I only need to rename each movie's folder properly. Also I use a batch file to move all movies that came without a folder into it's own folder according to the files name

3)JavMovieScraper by DoctorD1501

One of THE best data scraper I've used to date, though the creator has gone MIA for at least a year but someone by the name of Wizell has taken over the project.

This java program is able to scrape 99% of JAV movies from sources such as DMM, Javlibrary, Javbus, and also uncensored ones from AVentertainment, Caribbean, Heyzo, 1pondo.

What it does is download Covers and creates a .nfo file with multiple Actress names, english titles, subgenre, year of release so that you can easily search for whichever actress you want a list of, then again the accuracy of this data is strongly depended on the sites it scrapes for, personally I prefer scraping from Javlibrary as the actresses list are mostly accurate and I can always submit a change to that site if I find the data to be inaccurate.

Also to use this tool you must make sure the files are named *CORRECTLY* or you'll get wrong titles scraped

4)DupeGuru

I use this to find any duplicate movies I may have downloaded

5)KODI

Finally what's the point of all that data scraping if you don't have a way to properly 'view' them? Previously known as XBMC, KODI feeds on all the data you've scraped and you can browse all your collection by Year, Actresses, Genre and view all the movies via covers. Very customizable experience

^^ JavMovieScrapper and Kodi are what i've been using for about 2 weeks now, they work pretty darn good together but it's a pretty slow process

im really interested in using KODI now and i really like it so far but does the .nfo and covers have to be in the same folder as the video file itself? if so, do you personally have each video in its own folder with its respective .nfo and stuff, or do you just use one folder with all of that stuff in there? i feel like having just one folder makes things too cluttered, but i also dont want an individual folder for every single movie. sorry, im new to this and im trying to think how best to organize. ive been wanting to organize all this JAV for a while now but damn i let it get this far and now its overwhelming me :aghh:

Each movie has it's own folder with respective .nfo and covers

ithanks, ill do it this way then. having that many folders is something im not used to but i guess the point is i wont have to dig through those folders anymore in the first place.
Kodi does not require each title to be a separate folder. Some ppl do it because you may have a whole bunch of support files not just NFO and cover, also subtitles, screen shots even movies split up into scenes.

Whatever scheme of folder/subfolder (even on different drives) structure you want to do, Kodi can pretty much accommodate you. It can especially scan a huge folder (or all your drives) with lots of subfolder levels and hunt for anything that looks like a media file (music, movie, TV episodes) and attempt to put that media file in its own Kodi database (without moving the file) and try to find all meta info to fill in the database (e.g. from .NFO of the same name).
