If I rescan a folder will it try to check every movie again? Can it skip movies it has already registered?
You can tell it to NOT search in subfolders, or just choose specific folders to import. I've also noticed a bug in the code that looks to override movies with better resolution, so turning that option OFF in the Scan dialog might save a few unnecessary prompts.
But otherwise, it does a quick check in all folders for titles already registered and ignores those already in the collection. Otherwise, how would it know what you want to import?
If I'm understanding your question Shinto the short answer is no. Lets say you have a folder with 100 videos in it, you have previously scanned it and now scan it again. If all of the files are assigned .nfo files and covers the program will not rescan everythng, Now, lets say one of those files doesn't have a cover assigned to it, Javluv will look, again for a cover. Lets take the folder with 100 files, already scanned, you now add 2 new,unscanned files, if you rescan that folder Javluv willl only try to find .nfo and covers for the 2 New ones. Here's another scenario. You have your 100 files in folder ABC, you move those 100 files, +associated files, to folder JKL, if you now scan JKL folder since you've copied all the files , .nfo and thumb, to the new folder, Javluv will just re-associate those files to the new folder without re-scanning. Now, if you tell the program to regenerate metadata then Javluv will rescan everything in that folder and/or subfolders. My suggestion, play around with a sample set to see what happens but , just as an example, I"ve scanned folders with subfolders, say 2TB of files, Then moved then to an entirely different drive, re-scanned and JavLuv re-associated everything to the new drive in a couple of seconds( I have a pretty fast computer so a couple of seconds may be slightly slower depending.. but ultimately it takes only a very short time for JAVluv to re-associate. I hope that my response is what you're after. Cheers
I just want to add One more detail, in my scenario I desribe moving a bunch of pre-scanned files to a new location. You MUST do a new scan of the new location otherwise Javluv assumes that they still reside in the original location. Javluv may still show the .nfo data for the file but if you try to open it, Javluv is looking for it in the original location and will then fail to open the file so always make a habit if you move files around to rescan. Personally if I've moved a variety of files to a variety of folders I just do a complete scan of my parent directory, as stated it will not search for all of the files, it will only try to re-download ONLY the files that have some issue, no cover/nfo and I think no actress data my prompt a re-scan, but ultimately, for example, on my H drive I have about 20K videos, all scanned into javluv, maybe I"ve moved a few new files into these directories and maybe a few that were previously scanned did not find Covers, so when I do the re-scan of these 20K files there may be a 10ish files that have to be re-checked. Back to the point, if you move files around re-scan at least the folder you moved the files into.
does anyone know if there is a way to display files according to a specific folder? For instance I have a folder with a Shuttle-Japan videos, some fullvideo some clips, all different names including many that I had to add my own header, shut-??? so that javluv would catalog them because otherwise they were named; juicy little cheeseweasel eats bottomless bowl of gloopy weinergoop, So, as you can see, Javluv is not going to catalog that but if I add an arbitrary, shut-123 juicy little cheese... well then tallyho and all that rot, I generate a thumbnail image for the video, run Javluv and bing -bang-boom I now have the cheeseweasel listed in my beloved javluv library. So, now, all of a sudden I have this urge to peruse my Shuttle files. I could just go to the folder and view the thumbnails for all of the files, like a unsophisticated plebian would do , or I could come to trusty Akiba and ask for a workaround that allows me to view only the files contained within my Shuttle folder. If anyone has a solution. I'm all ears. Cheers.
If I understood your question, I think you can use the search bar to filter out the folder. Just copy the entier address location (from windows explorer) to the address bar and Javluv will show movies in that specific folder. For example you have folder with this tree:
H:
|--Video 1
|--Shuttle-Japan
|--Other
|--Video 2
|--Japan
You can type in search bar "H:\Video 1\Shuttle-Japan\" to filter out that specific folder in Javluv. If you want to search specific genre, just add space and type what you want to search. For example, searching for movies which inculde "teacher", then you will need to type in search bar:"H:\Video 1\Shuttle-Japan\ teacher"
I hope this is what you mean.
Go to windows folder I'm after, right click and choose 'copy as path' paste this into search in Javluv and alakazam, abracadabra, hocus-pocus, there are all of my chosen files displayed in technocolor. You, Lock ON are a genius. Many many thanks.
Hello @TmpGuy, just an idea, is it possible to add a feature where we can do a grouping of movies internally in Javluv? Like group for the same series or theme, because sometimes the scraped information not always contain the same information for genre or series name. It would be great to have that feature without adding or modifying the series, genre, or the note field.
That's not a bad idea. One thing I'd have to do first is to do some internal work to allow more metadata than exists in the current .nfo file format, which was actually defined with Kodi compatibility in mind. So that makes it a bit difficult to add new metadata, suvh that I don't break that compatibility. Also, I've got a lot of potential features lined up, so no idea when I might be able to do more serious work on new features.
I think I can speak for most people here that we are all grateful for updates but all are aware this is a pet-project and not your 'living' When updates happen it is like Christmas but like Christmas that only comes Once a Year. As you know, I periodically will chime in with thoughts about improvements , little tweaks that would be useful, but I have another one that I would like to suggest. a "donate" button. No one is required to donate but if they are so inclined they have that option. no need to respond TmpGuy it is just me thinking... ta-ta
