@DarkMask, I promise I wasn't ignoring your previous post, just forgot to get back to it. And, admittedly, took me a good few seconds on your new post to assume "Git repo" was something like Github repository? I Googled and I was right! Haha! Right?
I've not been on that site much, only to look at this and that and I certainly don't have a presence on it. I was trying to go for something cross platform, but, this USBWebserver is only a Windows program. I'm thinking, though, if Mac or Linux users are good with their boxes they can easily start a server to run the PHP pages that run this thing? Other than that, I have the version of USBWebserver I'm using, I think I had stumbled on them via a very old article before they changed their ways. Not sure if it is free anymore, but, I have what I have, that can be shared with some who want to give this a try I suppose. Just have find the time to get things down to bare bones.
The other thing would be what users want to track. Below are fields I use, nothing more. And some aren't populated yet either because I just haven't gotten to them (tags) or I don't know where to find them (like all idol title data).
Here is the last disc I imported in the database. Index is empty, handled by the import. The fields I get later from R18 scrapes are, predictably, Star, Studio, Released, Label, Director, Series, Title.
EDIT! I thought I had included what the above disc looks like in archive:
- Index [database table index]
- DVDCode [this would be like JUFD-100.mkv]
- Runtime
- Dimensions
- FPS
- Size
- Bytes
- Disc [dual layer blu-ray disc the title is stored on]
- Code [this would be like JUFD, ASW, MMR-AK)
- Star [no idol names yet]
- Tags [so far unpopulated]
- Studio
- Released
- Label
- BRC [Blu-ray Code, it is a flag to know how to handle thumbnails differently]
- Director
- Series
- Title
- Month [Month released, not archived]
- Year [Year released, not archived]
- VR [flag for VR titles]
- DiscGroup [Wow I can't remember what this was for! LOL probably something for searches?]
- CW [Custom Width flag, used to handle covers that don't fit the normal layouts for standard DVD or Blu-ray titles]
- Bitrate

May I ask again? Where would I be able to find data (in English if possible) for Idol titles like these?
I have it running okay, but, still trying to figure out how to release a very basic version that users can build upon. I'm determined not to release anything as-is because I know what I'm after and using is not what others are and I'll be bombarded with questions and suggestions and I'm just too busy with work and life in general to see to it all.
I released what I was thinking I might.

Outstanding! That's what it's all about, doing what works for you! Glad you have something working!
Actually now that I think about it, especially after this name change, I can have both names listed on pre name change titles? And then new name post? Or would it make sense for all titles to have both names?

I've been using "New Name (Old name) (older name)" in my tagging,
So, I am having to re-index my entire database (long story) and was grabbing data from the BD discs again. So far of the 134 discs I have BD073 and BD080 had two and three titles, respectively, that reading stopped at, so I had to replace just those titles by acquiring them again. This is exactly why I'm using BD as my storage, so I don't face another HDD crash where I lose hundreds of titles at a time. I'm still considering to buy some HDDs to throw them on as well and use the BD discs as just the backups of everything, but, haven't done that yet after all these years.
Can anyone answer this? On each disc, say, 24 titles. Titles 1-12 I was able to read info from but it would crash at reading title 13 and 14, but, I could read info from titles 15-24. Later, to recreate the disc I had to acquire titles 13 and 14 again, copy titles 1-12 and 15-24 to HDD and then burn them all again to recreate BD073. How is it possible for a disc to be readable up to a point and then again after a certain point on the disc? I guess I always thought if a disc couldn't be read, it was dead.
Posting to let other people know about Javinizer - https://github.com/jvlflame/Javinizer
The author jvlflame has been very active taking over from where JavMovieScraper left off, albeit only supporting a command line interface. It has taken me a bit of getting used to, but I am now finally nearly able to move all ~ 10k movies into Jellyfin and have a perfectly organized, accessible and gorgeous media server all thanks to Javinizer.
@jvlflame - if you're here - big thanks!

I have had similar issues with BD's going unreadable in certain areas. In my case, you can easily see the issue, as the protective covers I had been storing them in left a 'waffle' impression on the edges of a couple of the discs. Blu-rays write their data very similar to CD-R's and DVD's when used as data discs. Instead of concentric circles like an audio CD, data discs are written in sectors like the rings of a tree, except uniform in diameter. So long as the area of the disc that contains the file name / location information is undamaged, you can retrieve files from any part of the disc that hasn't been compromised.
I dunno if this has been mention, and I'm sorry if I have.
But I love JAV covers, so I was going nuts setting every folder to show the front of the cover in Window Explorer's thumbnail view...
Like this:
I used to do via the folder properties and the customize menu. But it took forever to do, and worse yet, if you moved the folder around or even the subfolder it would break. It sometime wouldn't update either. It was really really awful, and just garbage Windows implementation as usual. And then I found this magical trick!
If you actually name the cover "Folder.gif", regardless of what image type it is, it's going to always use that picture as the folder thumbnail. It's some god damn ancient holdover, but it works! It really works!
