JavLuv JAV Browser

I keep my JAV sorted in folders by genre of my own taste, so like "schoolgirl", "cuckold", "nurse", etc. Then I multiply those folders and qualify them with refinements, "cuckold - husband watching", "schoolgirl - teacher seduce", etc

Using JAVLUV, I can then search for folders (I think by using the "/" prefix?) for any of those folder names, and/or the modifiers.

By typing in "/schoolgirl" I see all my schoolgirl genre titles, same with "/nurse - handjob" etc. It works really well. Of course, this means I must constantly be making and adding to genre folders, which is a Herculean task. But, I look at it as part of the fun and hobby aspect of collecting JAV.

Hope this helps, good luck!
There is a great little free renaming utility called renamer, https://www.den4b.com/ If you use "insert as a suffix" you can add key words, Schoolgirl, Cuckold, Nurse, etc. to the end of all of the files that are relevant. Then when you search in Javluv you can, for instance, type Schoolgirl Nurse Banana and Javluv will find anything that meets all of those criteria. I stopped trying to categorize everything into folders and I now just have folders labelled A-Z. Any files that I want to make sure that I find with a search I append the names with important search data, like Gokkun or a particular actress name.
 
the one db is around 12k and there is another for 2k and there is anothher 2 HDD that I did not add to there yet :( so total in 20K I think
I think the big advancement would be a custom collection based on some used to define criteria such as genre, and series etc display it is a tab just as all movies and actresses would be the best

I appreciate the feedback. I'm hoping to someday make collections a bit more flexible, so it should be possible to do that (separate databases, multiple network clients, etc), but it's going to be a bit clumsy with the current version.

I can see filenames getting pretty long there. Ideally I would like a sort of "tag" feature that doesn't alter filenames directly, just gives meta-tags that are searchable. That way I could tag to my heart's content and mix and match lots of videos together - all the cuckolded schoolgirl banana videos at once! If those tags could be integrated to JavLuv, that would be ideal.

But, another reason why labeled folders are still practical is when I'm not using JavLuv to search and watch videos, which is pretty often, since JavLuv doesn't have an Android release.

I see your point there. Sometimes I forget that others may have different modus operandi than I. For me there are only a few keywords that I would bother to manually add to a filename, mostly a specific actress name or with files that I know are not going to be discovered by javluv scrapes I may add "gokkun" , or "banana juggling" but generally the descriptor words that scraping provides are adequit for my particular peccadillos so I haven't run into a long filename issue however someone that had a wide spectrum of 'kinks', if one could call banana juggling a kink, may indeed run into that problem/ Cheers.

YES !!, I do it this way as well and if you add file to luvJjav you can search it by that sufix name already because it it part of the name very convenient but hard work renaming files

yes I do simular just with filenames ... it is still very hard to find something particular you watch long time ago
 
Hello @TmpGuy, I just realize now that the japanese titles are missing. Is this feature removed or the webscraper didn't have the data? Just curious, I don't always use this but its quite useful in searching/filtering some title.
 
There's no such function, but any destructive actions are hidden behind advanced functions or require user actions. At some point, I'd like to add a way to backup and restore movie and actress data, but that's still on the to-do list.
That would be nice, here is an example where i get my images overwritten every time i run the scan movies. check out ID-036 on javlibrary. i have 1 of the movies so i like just to be able to say to that movie after i have updated manual that it is locked now and cant be changed
 
I have an issue with movies not getting scraped correctly even they are on Javlibrary. here is an example. Muso-0029 snippet from javlibrary where they have images, genre and all data. After scanned to javluv you see no data added or images or title, just nothing. Seams to be restriction some where about fetish metadata.
UPDATE. I tried to concatenate the 3 files into 1 and suddenly the scraper got some iages and genres but the file name was still same as the first time. see picture after reduce to 1 file

As far as I know they should be working. Not all sites have equivalent Japanese entries, so there may be some rarer titles that don't get the Japanese titles, but I just checked my latest scraped titles and they seem fine.

I still got the metadata for the movies, but not the japanese titles. Does this mean I couldn't scrape a few websites? I'm using VPN connection, and from browser I can open those website normally.
 
I don't know what happened, but after I check the log, there are some warnings like this:

I still got the metadata for the movies, but not the japanese titles. Does this mean I couldn't scrape a few websites? I'm using VPN connection, and from browser I can open those website normally.

Looks like I may need to update the scrapers for some sites. They occasionally need updating when a site changes visible format a bit, etc.
 
I have a movie from what i know excists on Javlibrary but it would not update so i added the image my self and after regenerate metadata it also was correct with the title.
 
On another subject... I like that I can check the box for "hard subtitled." It would be nice to add a box for "uncensored/reduced mosaic." Even better would be having those titles change background color, say from black to gray or white. Then, when scanning through my titles it would be easy to see which are uncensored.
 
I've recently been encountering an issue where when I click the Actress tab the program crashes. I tried uninstalling and re-installing but it still crashes when I click that tab. Are there other program files or backup files of meta-data that I need to remove to hopefully get it working again?
 
For the reduced mosaic I have been adding Decensored to the genres list that allows me to filter on that for the RM videos. Interestingly if I filter on Uncenroed it does find them and i didn't do anything

When you say it "crashes", does it just disappear or does it first show the unhandled exception in a dialog box? If it's the latter, I might be able to figure out what's going on if I can see your log files.

Otherwise, you could try completely deleting (or renaming) the hidden metadata folder JavLuv uses - there could be something corrupted there. You can find those in C:\users\your+name\AppData\Local\JavLuv

Also, JavLuv is incompatible with some third party anti-virus programs. Try disabling those if nothing else is working.

Deleting the App Data and then doing a fresh install worked. Thank you!!

It seams (20) (Virgin) in the file name is disturbing the system to add the (YEAR) and -Fanart what was set in settings

I love the idea of the program but I have questions.

1. Is there a way to manually scrape meta-data? There a bunch of titles where the auto scrape did not find anything.

2. There are titles which the program cannot find after a scan. So I cannot insert them to the collection.

3. Is there any way to correct the meta-data if it is wrong?

4. Is there any way to add new meta-data like "Uncensored" -> YES, NO, AI, etc...

5. The meta-data download is awfully slow. Is there a timeout for when one scrape source cannot be found?
