Server to organize Softcore and Hardcore Movies

[Corsafahrer]

Don't know, where to put this.

I am organizing my Full-Length Movies and now searching for a Server Software like Kodi, that scrapes the Metadata from Adult-based Websites.

I tested Stash, but it only puts all movies under the Scenes-Tab. This is useless for me.

Any suggestions?

Stash is the best organizer i've tested so far. Don't look other ways

Here is a screenshot of my test database:




If you click one of the titles, you can see details of the movie, metadata and related scenes. After scraping the metadata from adultdvdempire.com, i just added the related scenes to the movie itself:

0) Add some scraper scripts to your Stash from this link --> https://github.com/stashapp/Communit...aster/scrapers


1) Find the metadata page for your movie and copy its link:




2) Click that "New" button under "Movies" tab:





3) Paste it to the "URL" box:





4) The result:



You can manually add missing info or modify those values however you like them.


5) Hit the green "Save" button at the right bottom and see if it's all good:




6) Now go to your already scraped "scenes" tab, find the movie itself, hit the "Edit" button and select the added movie (Accidental Double Date in our example) and save:

Ok, I just tried it with one movie. Do I have to create every Performer and Studio myself or is there an automated script, when I scrape the data from the sites?

Just like Jellyfin does?

Unfortunately there is no simple "click and go" way for adult movies like Plex or Kodi to my knowledge. You have to spend some time and do manual work.

But there is an automated way for stash too: stash-box

https://github.com/stashapp/stash-box

Stash-box is an open-source video indexing and metadata API server for porn developed by Stash App. The purpose of stash-box is to provide a community-driven database of porn metadata, similar to what MusicBrainz does for music. The submission and editing of metadata should follow the same principles as MusicBrainz. Installing Stash-box will create an empty database for you to populate.

Note: If you're a Stash user, you don't need to install stash-box. The Stash community has a server with many titles from which you can pull data. You can get the login information from the #stashdb-invites channel on our Discord server.

1) Get login information from their Discord server, then login to this site --> https://stashdb.org/login


2) After you logged-in, you'll see all identified videos (530,494 as of today - also 58,283 models, 6,749 studios, 2,269 tags identified too)




3) Now click to your username on that site and find these things:




4) Copy that "API key" and "GraphQL Endpoint" to the clipboard, navigate in Stash to Settings -> Metadata Providers -> Stash-Box Endpoints, then paste your copied API token and GraphQL Endpoint. (You'll do this only once. You'll only use step 5 after you setup the stashbox)






5) Now go to Settings -> Tasks -> Identify



Click Identify button and done.

You can always ask any questions to peeps hanging around the StashApp Discord server

Just like Jellyfin does?

If your movies are named properly, you can run the "Auto Tag" option for model and studio names after scraping the data from metadata sites:

Is there a way to show the filepath in the Scenes Tab? I have Terabytes of movies, some with the same filename in the directories. It would be helpful, when I can sort them in the scenes tab first, in order to add them to a movie.




It would be so helpful, when Stash creates the movies by itself based on the folders the scenes are in, without scraping the Metadata. Maybe you have to check a box before, that you want to add movies and not simply some random videos.

It's not possible for now and there are already open issues on their Github page:

https://github.com/stashapp/stash/issues/906
https://github.com/stashapp/stash/issues/2948

If you have a Github account you can post your problem/feature request and mention these issues above as a reminder.

Good to know, that Others miss this feature, too.

Will sort my movies, then I install a Docker-Image on my NAS and organize all on this server. I just used the Windows-Server for testing.

I hope, that Stash will get more comfortable in the future.

It is the most active porn related open source project compared to others and it's just v0.20. The promising part is it's not a one-man project like similar software. Their Github page and Discord server is full of developers, coders and designers who know their stuff. So it will get more user friendly and comfortable on each new release.
