What exactly will happen in Javluv when we use the Update Actress feature? I tried it on a couple of random actresses, and didn't see any change, really. Also it took a pretty long time just for one actress, I hate to thing how long it might take to do any significant number of them at once. Thanks for any granular detail you can provide.

This is going to affect those who only recently started using JavLuv the most, since the actress scrapers were not working correctly, and thus only a small percentage of actresses were getting correctly scraped.
For long-term users, most of the popular actresses were likely scraped when the actress scrapers were still working. If you keep updating, you're bound to see a few that were missing previously that now appear, especially if they were scanned recently. If you have actresses with partially missing information, this might also help to fill some of that in. That being said, there are still plenty of actresses that simply aren't listed in any online database.
And yes, it does take a while. I'd just let it run in the background while doing something else. I still need to do this with my own collection, with 2500+ actresses.
I do something kind of similar, except I archive the original movies in a different location after I upscale or clean up an older movies, for instance, since I'm not interested in watching the old version any more. I only have a couple of extracted scenes, and I put them with the original movies as "extras". But obviously, everyone has different ways they like to organize their collection, and if possible I'd like JavLuv to accommodate them if possible. Honestly, I never really considered the possibility of storing duplicate movies.
As always, no promises about specific features or timelines, but I'll put this on the to-do list.
I know what you are saying. Im set much in my ways after so long. I am clearing space up and Im probably going to just move the 60fps ones to the same folder as it makes sense. Could do with some 24TB HDs
Regardless. JavLuv is a fantastic program and made keeping track of a lot of movies so much easier. Definably made my life 1000% easier regards my porn addiction
Could have a extension added onto the file that JavLuv scans for and therefor knows its a modification of the same main file. Its not a huge thing and i am reordering slowly. I have last count 82TB over 8 drives and some smaller caddy/dock based drives. So im freeing room to shuffle but its gonna take time.
I'll let you judge for yourself. Here's a quick example I just took in Topaz AI Upscaler (2x upscale - Proteus model with manual fine-tuned parameters):
You can see the hands obviously have fewer artifacts. But you might also notice that the tartan patterns of the skirt are also enhanced and sharpened slightly. In the lower image, there's a dramatic improvement in the detail of the actress' hair, as well as the bow.
Once you've output this cleaned up version in either lossless or near lossless, you can then re-encode using a more modern codec, like h265, which preserves a lot more detail in the HD output, with fewer artifacts from the original encoding.
It's not a perfect process, and you often have to fine-tune parameters or switch upscaling models to get the best results, and even then, there are times certain scenes just come out less than optimally. For example, when a model is just far enough away that all the detail of her hair strands are lost, there's not much that can be done to restore that lost detail, so it ends up looking like a piece of cloth in the upscale. Stuff like that. But overall, I think it's generally a win.
Yeah Ive tried topaz. I think has AI gets scary over the next year, I recon AI my even create JAV for us
I can see a difference but I use shaders tbh which can create a very nice upscale on the GPU level. I keep all original older files, I never reencode for this exact purpose and a AI future. Thank you Temp guy. I took your suggestion on have started to move my 60FPS content to the same folder as the original. Works well.
JavLuv has gotten incredibly slow for me. I haven't changed anything in my system (that I know of), and JavLuv used to be very quick in loading images and starting movies.
Lately, when I change views, or even open an actress profile, the movie tile view takes many seconds to over a minute, to load the tiles.
Has something changed? What might explain this slowdown in loading images? Thanks.

Hmm, I made a slight change in background auto-saving, but that was a few versions ago. It sounds like something is drastically slowing read access to your drives where images are stored. I can't think of why JavLuv itself might be slow.
I've seen this happen before with Windows, where it suddenly decides that it needs to ramp down access speed to a particular drive. Maybe check on data transfer speed. Copy a large file, like a movie, from your storage drive and your C drive and check to see if the transfer speed seems reasonable, which you can check on using the file transfer dialog's detailed mode.
Actually this has been going on for a little while now. I've only lately gotten back to using the PC and I had to update JavLuv twice in as many days. But to be fair I also just did resolve an issue with Win 10 suddenly not finding my NAS and I needed to do a load of Windows updates to fix it.
I will do some transfer tests all the same though to check.
Ive had mixed results with AI upscaling so far but best I do is to change them to 60fps and just give it lot of bandwidth to lose less of itself. Changing to 60 makes a huge difference on old vids enjoyment and ive done a lot and they do fast. I can give quick tutorial using free software and no knowledge at all needed.
You can also use on the fly shaders via say MPC and some impressive results can be achieved. If anyone wants shaders then I have loads, they are public domain.
I use Handbrake for any 1:1 reencoding, I could see if it has a 60fps upscale setting, it probably does.
Ok just an update. I did a thorough disk clean-up and that solved the slowdown problem.
But it was the strangest thing, there were literally tens of thousands of strange NFO files named with JAV ID's, and with various 3, 4, or 5 digit numbers appended to the file names. They were all between 2-6 kb and scattered throughout my JAV folder. Deleting them took several hours! I think Javluv may have created them at some point? But they were only on my NAS drive.
Anyway problem solved, Javluv is back to its normal speedy self.
That's interesting. JavLuv will only append a number if it's renaming a file and it finds a duplicate entry. I'm not really sure what could account for so many duplicates. I guess in theory if there are existing duplicates, then maybe every time it tried to rename a file, it would run into a duplicate, then try to find the next available number free. Weird.
Hi, I've started using JavLuv and it has been great. There's just one change that I would like to suggest.
Is it possible to add a text field to modify the title on the NFO file? I like to add the DVD-ID in the title, but it looks like JavLuv doesn't do that and I don't see any option to change that. So if there's a field similar to the "movie" field where we can use your tags. that would be great

Not quite sure I understand. When you say you want to change the "title" of the nfo, do you mean the filename? That's controlled by the "Metadata" field. Or do you mean the movie title inside the metadata?
If I'm misunderstanding, could you give an example?
