JavLuv JAV Browser

it would be so so nice if there was a possibility to select all movies, import all subtitle from the sorted folder into the movie folders and rename subtitle same as the movie. I must be dreaming :)
 
Just a update @TmpGuy

Im at 6048 movies now and its still running perfect except a misbehaving scraper (Javbus I think). Is there no way to add them to a text file (Cfg) so they can be amended by the user? or is that not possible.

The reason I haven't done that is that it's pretty common to have duplicate subtitles, so there would need to be a strategy for allowing you to pick whatever is the "best" subtitles. So for now, you have to export everything to a folder and eliminate any duplicates for yourself. It's just an extra step for now - but the process is admittedly a bit obtuse.

It's certainly possible to do that eventually. But I'll try to get JavBus removed in the short term. Sorry for the lack of maintenance patch to do this... just haven't have a lot of extra time.

I think I speak for everyone when I say this and thats Thank You for even making the App in the first place cause its saved me so many hours over the time ive used it and it works perfectly so far except a few niggles (Minor bugs)

The only way I can see a weakness is like I said, the scrapers not being manually editable but I only ever programmed in Basic when I was much younger and so Im not sure exactly whats needed. Did you use Python? I could probably adapt to python but Im getting on :) . So obviously your work is much much more important and I am extremely grateful that we even have Javluv.

You're welcome. I'm glad people find it useful.

It was written in C#, and uses WPF UI library. It's open source, so you can see how everything works if anyone wants to take the time to dig into the code.

Example: here's the code for the web scraper:
https://github.com/JavLuv/JavLuv/blob/main/src/WebScraper/Scraper.cs

I'll try to remember to set aside a bit of time to update JavLuv this weekend.

Actually I could definitely adapt to that language, seems not that hard to wrap my head around since ive been at it for many years but using python/basic and such. I love how you are a real programmer and use reminders (Was a Rem statement when I was younger)

I used to find a lot of peoples code hard to follow as they never wrote notes that explained what was going on.

Thanks for sharing that, didn't thing of looking at the code on Gitgub :)

In the subtitle sort folder, how come that it startet to get files what are not in the folders but in main folder same as on the picture. Also what is the difference from copy and move when you are sorting ?

It depends on the scraper. We cannot manually tell it which sites to use (Yet) but you can download the image and right click where the empty DVD cover should be and select add. All the other info has to be manually added if for actress but some films it will never find im afraid which is not a fault of Javluv.

That doesn't look properly sorted. I'd try resorting that folder. Maybe try move them out of that folder to a different folder first?

The difference between copy and move is that copy will leave the original source files in place. Move will move them to the final destination.

You can't. Each site has a different way of displaying info, so each site's scraper needs to be hand-coded. In some cases, due to the heavy use of Javascript or other technical issues, I'm unable to write a scraper at all. If you see a site that you think JavLuv should scrape, let me know and I'll consider it.

Here are some of the sites under consideration: https://github.com/JavLuv/JavLuv/issues/45

For actresses, JavLuv scrapes:

How can i add it manually when i cant see the empty dvd cover ? when it says " Unable to find online metadata for BFHD-81 " it dosent show, but yest if it would show a empty box i could manually add the cover.
It also seams the Javluv wont recognice mkv files.

I'm aware that it's not real intuitive to import movies into JavLuv manually. Hopefully I can do something about that someday.

For now, you do have the following option:

Once the movie has been added, you can manually edit all the metadata, including title, ID, etc. All of the display fields in the movie detail view are editable. If you can't find the movie you just added, try sorting by "Recently Added", which sorts those recently added movies from top to bottom (newest at the top).

As far as the cover... in Settings, make sure Show Advanced Options is checked.

Then you can right-click on any thumbnail, and you'll have an option to replace the cover image.

The other option is in the detail page, you can typically right-click where the image usually is and import a new cover.

Something really useful would be an exclusion of the "System Volume Information" folder when scanning a drive. Even better, excluding all hidden folders ised by Windows...

I'm not sure I understand. JavLuv lets you pick just the folder you want to scan. I guess in theory you could pick an entire drive, and scan all subfolder, but... why would you do that?

I have a drive dedicated to JAV videos. The bulk of the movies goes there, at root level. Am I to understand that I should, instead, create a main folder and then add subfolders in there instead? I'm not too comfortable with the "all eggs in the same folder" approach.

If the movies are at the root level, you should be able to uncheck "Scan in subfolders" to avoid deeper, irrelevant scans. Does that help you?

Edit: although, I guess if you're organizing movies in folders off the root folder, that's not going to help. Re-reading your description, it sounds like that might be the case. I should also remember that rescanning your entire collection makes more sense if you're not using automatic move/renaming feature.

Time and time again, I'm surprised by how different people organize their libraries. You'd think I'd learn to stop making assumptions by now.
