That’s been my plan, but, with the caveat that it will be released as-is. I will not change things based on user requests (unless it is something I wouldn’t mind implementing) and I will not spend a lot of time helping users troubleshoot things, especially if they change anything on it. This whole USBWebserver works right out of the box, so to speak. Plus, my PHP, since I’m just learning it, is probably ugly and bloated for those who know PHP. But, hey, if someone wants to take this and make it their own and 100x better, that would be great as well! Really, this is just for my personal use and to show that things like this can be done

Can you teach me how to do something similar?

So when will you be ready to release your program?

I'm at the point where I'm a bit fried from work but still interested in this thing. I'm about to archive what I have now and go back to basics, grab a version I had early on and just concentrate on a simple means to keep track of things.

Understandable. I recently deleted my 64TB porn collection, as well as my 2.4TB U15 collection. Don't plan on redownloading any JAV (At least non-VR titles) at the moment, but am recovering my u15 collection, as I see how bad a mistake deleting it was. Not so sure how im going to organize it though. Im thinking by name (ABC, DEF, etc.)

Edit: Deleted it again

Here is a current demo I promised on another thread. Still haven't had as much time as I'd like to spend on this. It is still where I left off, really.

Combine all that to get to the video. Had some mega problems last time I included the whole URL+key on here. They'll probably zap me again anyway haha!

Are the JAV library in the database, just a picture and a cover? No videos?

I organize them by Actress. Inside each actress folder there are three to four files associated with each title. 1) Actual Movie File (Actress Name - Movie Code.Extension), 2) Cover of Movie (Actress Name - Move Code.jpg), 3) NFO file that contains who is in the movie, release date, genres, and any other meta data i find relevant. 4) Subtitle file (Actress Name - Movie Code.srt).

I wrote a custom script that pulls data from R18 to help pull relevant data points and rename my files for me. Now I can search based on genre or actress.

May I ask what language your script is in? Since I'm working on my php site I used php to scrape just what I'm going to be using from R18, but, not their categories.

Hi. Sure. I use Python. I also leverage Google's Search API. (note paid API). This way I can search R18, Javlibrary, and DMM (last resort and translate after).

Hey I use Python (with Pandas) too, I scrap javbus.com for the data, but my project is (so far) storing and maintaining Japanese-only data. There's room to extend to English + Japanese bilingual support but for now I'm not super keen on it since the user base is currently me and myself.

We can exchange some coding, scraping and database ideas. Perhaps even share data...

Nice! I’ve not delved into Python, almost had a reason at work but that fell through last year. Picked up PHP on the fly since I wanted a web interface for my tracking, but, like many I hadn’t been spending as much time as I would have liked on the project. Just getting back into it, scraping from R18 and adding more linking capabilities for searches (storage disc, codes, stars). My original goal was just something for me using an HTA, which would have worked fine for my needs, but, others expressed interest in it and HTAs would be strictly Windows. For cross platform I looked to Angular or Electron but I don’t like working with Javascript (because I never really learned it well enough). @ding73ding turned me on to Python as an option but I really like a nice interface and I can’t find (unless my years of Google searching is somehow failing me) any examples of nice interfaces with Python as the underlying language. I’m already okay at basic web design, so, PHP it is. Nothing fancy or polished.

Hi @Casshern2 and @ding73ding

Code sharing sounds great! Yeah I agree. The target audience is only me. I chose to do what I do so I can use a KODI type engine (KODI, MRMC, or Infuce) to scrape the meta data and display back to me on the apps gui. I like it cause I can search for Actress, Genre, or native to the program bookmark my favorite titles. My wife things I am fucking insane. My entire garage and life is just stuff thrown and placed everywhere but my "hentai" collection is organized!

I think we can start a github!
