JavLuv JAV Browser

[weppin]

Bug report - I've got an install on a networked laptop that gets all its content from the server PC. This install insists on giving me the "overwrite better quality video" popup every time I scan something. I'm forced to manually refuse every one, sometimes dozens of videos. It won't complete the process of getting new file and actress data unless I refuse every request to overwrite. Very frustrating!

It's the latest build, I have "moving/renaming" unchecked, and I have reinstalled at least once.

What else can I do to fix this? I have a second laptop that does not have this problem. Thanks, still love this program!!!

This is not so much a bug as a currently unsupported feature. JavLuv stores quite a bit of metadata locally, and so moving between two computers sharing a network drive isn't really supported. I've got an old task on my list to allow users to share that metadata on a shared network drive as well, which would fix this issue, but I don't know when I'll be able to get to this.

Technically, you can fix this by copying that hidden AppData settings folder from a primary to a secondary laptop, and always do your editing on the primary machine, but obviously this isn't very convenient.

Japanese movie titles can viewed / edited in the movie detail view by clicking the small JP toggle button in the top right

Are you asking for a way in English mode to display Japanese titles and actress names in the browser view? Because that's about the only thing missing. You can currently see Japanese text in both detail views in English mode.

To be honest, I've been considering removing Japanese mode for a while now, as it's never gotten a translation (I originally wanted to localize all program text), and it's difficult to support due to finding enough sites I can scrape in Japanese. Let me know what you guys think about this. I could probably just add options to display Japanese titles or actress names in the browser view if anyone really wants that.

Actually I can read English and a bit of Japanese. I used to sorting titles with video IDs and actresses with their English names, but keeping their Japanese Name at the end. Because it's more difficult to me to realize the sorting order of Japanese, especially for Kanji.

At the very beginning of using JavLuv, I've started with English mode and feel unaccustomed with English titles and names. Then tried rescaning the database with Japanese. And I found there are way less actress and cover images scraped in Japanese mode than English mode.

Then I tried investigated the .nfo files. And I find actually we have Japanese title and actress name in the .nfo files of English mode in different tags. Like "originaltitle" and "Japanese name". So it inspired me having the idea of just keeping unify .nfo file. Maybe by this way, we can have complete scrapped images and choose between English/Japanese mode without rescan the database.

BTW, the manual editing images and titles is a excellent deisgn. Actually, I usually cannot relate many of actresses to their thumbnails form network databases. I often change many of them to my preferences.

It seems the metadata depend on the website it got scraped. I got the metadata from javdatabase and it does not include the japanese titles, but if you got the metadata from javlibrary you will get the japanese titles. In my case, it seems my VPN connection cannot bypass the cloudfare verification to scrape from javlibrary. It is unfortunate I cannot get the japanese metadata.

Ok but I use JL networked on two different laptops - one Win 10 and one Win 11, if it matters - and only the Win 11 one is doing this consistently.

For the record, could you maybe add a sticky to the front of this thread that indicated the local folders where all pertinent data gets stored? Like actress images, too, and etc? I used to know but I've forgotten.

I had an external hdd go bad, it had edited nfo files on it. It was backed up before I scanned with JavLuv, so I lost the nfo files. Is there any way to have JavLuv save individual nfo files back out? Sorry if this has been asked before I can't find an answer, and thanks to the author for such a useful program.
