I've been collecting JAV for about 15 years. My collection stands at just over 1.000 titles. 50% consists of S1, Moodyz and Prestige titles (my taste is pretty vanilla). These days I manage my collection using JavLuv exclusively. I do still go through the trouble of adding coverart to the video...

Does anybody know what the term "Grimosa" is referring to in genre? I see that JavLuv attaches this term to some of my content, but even after some Googling I'm still unsure of what it is referring to. It is not a field that is scraped from JAVLibrary (my go-to site for info on JAV titles).

Hi TmpGuy. In the latest version of JavLuv I have to scan a folder twice to have a newly added movie visible in the JavLuv database. After the initial scan the movie doesn't appear in the list. When I check the folder I can see the the .nfo file has been created correctly, but it will only show...

I keep movies in a single folder and JavLuv works just fine. I use a consistent naming structure (Actress/Movie ID) for the movie, subtitles and cover art and then I can scan folders with hundreds of movies no problem.

Hi TmpGuy! After some naming clean-up (first name, last name or vice versa) and merging of actresses I have now ended up with some names without movies. Is there a way to delete these entries without going in the actress XML and manually deleting the corresponding lines? I have meddled with the...

Please do, I'm always willing to learn something new.

Every movie in my collection gets converted to .mp4 without re-encoding. You should look into using ffmpeg from the command line. Pretty much all the video converters out there have ffmpeg "under the hood" but it is very easy to use from the command line yourself. I use ffmpeg to change the...

I just wanted to chime in again with saying how much I like the current version of JavLuv and the features that were implemented recently. Javluv is the only way I view my library of almost 900 titles. It looks great, performs great and I very much enjoy using it to manage my JAV collection. I...

This seems to have worked just fine. My actress image folder was halved to about 1.100 images. With an actress database containing 617 names, this seems about right. I am also not spotting any obvious duplicates as I scroll through the folder, and I haven't lost any user uploaded images in the...

No, it was the result of just adding a new movie. I was in the actress view and used the "scan movies" option.

I added multiple images myself (4 to be precise) and deleted the ones (2 images) that JavLuv put up after the initial scan. Afterwards all my own images were gone and two new images appeared, neither of which I had added myself. I suspect the new images were the same as after the initial scan...

As I was combing through the image folder in AppData I also noticed many duplicates of images that I have added myself. I don't know how this came to be, but somehow data got duplicated many times over. I have 591 actresses in my database, but the actress image folder has 2151 images in it.

I noticed something today that I think was overlooked when implementing the new actress feature in JavLuv. I added a new movie to my collection from an actress from which I already had some movies - and where I had added my own actress pictures. I had the actress view open and I scanned the...

I found a minor bug in the latest version of JavLuv. The filter counter in the bottom right part of the main screen, showing either movies or actresses selected in the current filter, has a habit of reverting to showing actresses found whenever a filter is applied regardless of the current view...

Using the snipping tool to make nice cut-outs of online photos to paste into the actress view directly works really nice. I try to find a few nice pictures that reflect the style and aesthetic of each actress in my collection and update accordingly. I've already sunk quite a few hours into...

Playing around with the new actress feature. Great addition! The hit rate (about 75%) isn't as high as with individual movies, which makes sense since there is no actress code like there is with studio movies. It did surprise me that some big names did not result in a hit after scanning. For...

Can't wait, that would be an awesome addition! Javluv is a JAV collector's dream.

Glad you're back! I figured it was something like that or perhaps you got fed up with supporting JavLuv. Happy to know that is not the case :)

Did he choose to delete his account or did forum administration take action for some reason?

The user TmpGuy and the thread for his app for organizing your Jav library has disappeared. I'm thoroughly confused by this, is there an explanation for what happened and why?

Guess what? I just opened JavLuv to take up your suggestion and move the movie to its own folder and noticed that the cover is now displaying correctly. So somewhere between all the things I have tried it worked - but I guess it needed one more re-start and a bit of time. I did indeed also...

I've tried re-scanning, deleting the cover image, regenerate metadata, deleting the video from the library altogether and re-importing it, deleted the local cache and between all these actions I have closed an re-opened JavLuv. Somewhere deep in the guts of JavLuv is this image cached and it...

What JavLuv does very nicely is show the complete cover (front, back and center) on the movie details page, but just the front cover in the thumbnail view. The front cover is typically on the right side of the full cover image and JavLuv somehow almost always flawlessly captures the cover image...

This did indeed fix the issue. Thanks!

A peculiar issue has popped up after updating to the latest version. If I scan a certain directory, JavLuv insists on downloading metadata for 21 of the hundreds of video files in the folder, even though metadata (.nfo and .jpg) already exists for these videos (and JavLuv should only have...

Thanks for your continued work on JavLuv! Have been using it for months now and I'm still super happy with it. The option of always showing the ID in the thumbnail is something I had been thinking about as well. Nice to see it implemented. I had also noticed that releases in 2022 often had the...

The trackpad scrolling feels much better now. This workaround you implemented makes all the difference!

I did make that request, but didn't make the connection based on the naming of the option. "Scan subfolders" would be less ambiguous to me. If I make a conscious effort to scroll minimally using my trackpad (which is a standard Windows precision trackpad) the scroll speed is the height of 3 to...

Being able to start a movie from the main screen is an improvement I didn't know I wanted. I did know I wanted a backup of metadata and I'm happy you were able to implement it so quickly. JavLuv keeps getting better and better! Just one question, what does "Scan recursively" do exactly? By the...

That did the trick. Works beautifully again! I'm really liking the new features. I did in fact upgrade from an existing installation, just not from the "experimental/test build" you put out with the logging system. I upgraded from the version before that, without any logging in it. When that...

Thanks for the updated version of JavLuv. Was eager to test it out, but unfortunately it crashes immediately on start-up. It installs no problem, but on start-up it doesn't even make it into the main page. There is also no error message displayed other than the generic "JavLuv has stopped...

Thanks! I also notice the word "disrespectful" quite a lot in Chinese subtitle files that are auto-translated to English. The context in which it appears however, makes no sense. There is nothing disrespectful about what is happening on screen, so it is surely a mis-translation. Any ideas?

I agree, manually updating the metadata in the rare case of a DVD-ID collision is fine. It would already be an improvement if you could update the coverart from within JavLuv, I also had a few more cases where JavLuv scraped postage stamp size coverart that I wanted to replace with something...

Thanks! Can confirm filtering now works as expected for both actress names and genres.

I am not sure if this has been discussed in this thread before, but when I download machine translated subtitles I typically open the file in a subtitle editor first to find and replace "meat stick" by cock and "comfortable" by "excited". Is there anybody with knowledge on Japanese that can...

Yes, works for me now as well. Thanks! I tried again the filtering option and it doesn't work for me. I made sure to run JavLuv as designed (with all .nfo and.jpg files unhidden), I have been doing that for all the testing I did so far. Example: - Added a new actress filter: Nana=Nanana -...

I have a few more hours under my belt playing with JavLuv and I have made some further observations. Some background on how I have organized my collection: It is 800 movies in a few folders (across different drives) all named as "actress name - DVD-ID". In case of multiple actresses, I choose a...

For now I have hidden the .nfo and .jpg files manually after JavLuv finished scanning. I don't know why I didn't think of this before, since I do the same with subtitle files. As far as I have been able to test, hiding these files does not break any of the functionality of the program (update...

Thanks for putting this tool out there for us to try out! I played around with it today and like it very much. It is like having an offline version of Javlibrary for just my collection of movies. I however wish there was an option to have JavLuv store the .jpg and .nfo files that it generates...

Thank you for this! Played around with it a bit and I like it a lot. It is nice to effectively have an offline version of javlibrary.com for my collection only. One thing that I wish JavLuv wouldn't do (or have an option not to do), is put the .jpg and .nfo files in the same folder as the video...
