JavLuv JAV Browser

JavLuv offers genres which are populated when files are imported. Genre information comes from whatever site the information was scraped from. For example, ADN-122 features these genres tags: Featured Actress, Hi-Def, Married Woman, Solowork, r***, Single Work, Housewife / Housewife, High-Def.

Additionally, the genres are editable by the user. So, when I notice a movie shows double penetration, I will add that to the genres so I can later search for that tag.

Tricky question to answer. IF the created .nfo file, which is usually copied from somewhere else, contains the relevant genre, the a search for that genere will revell all videos that have correcctly coded .nfo files. There is the problem. The nfo files do not always ahve the correct descriptions in the genre description. Just as an example I have seen tons of times where in the genre section they had someting like, 'blowjoy, cute girls, family, tennis'. Whomever edited that nfo file originally must have thought that these particular details were important to note. However this very same file iis full of all kinds of Gokkun scenes, Swallowing, and perhaps a gangbang. IF I do a search on Javluv, letss say for swallowing, I will not find this because it is not specifically detailed in any of the important places, the File Name, file description, or the .nfo file. The solution: always pay attention to the genre section of a file's info. Update it as needed. If I see 'cute girl' or 'big tits' or 'mature', whatever it is, I don't care about those details and so I remove them from the genre details. I will never go searchng for big tits. ON the other hand if I am looking at the genre info for a file that I know has a lot of swallowing scenes, Take a shot in the dark what I would add to my genre details?
This may be a more involved process but the problem is that the person who created the original referance nfo has no idea what is important to you, or me and it would be impossible to tailor every single .nfo file to include each possible search word that would be relevant. They have to generalize, choose a few relevant genre details, Sometimes they are 100% wrong in the way the code the genre data. For instance I have seen a few where they added "scatology" to the genre and THat is a subject that revolts me, I would NEVER want to see that material but notwithstanding the genre entry I know/knew categorically that there was no scatology in that video. So ultimately the .nfo files are very fallible and it is, sadly , up to you to edit them according to your own preferance.
thank you so much .

JavLuv may have gotten confused at some point and tried to avoid overwriting the existing actress named folders. I'd try selecting all your movies (ctrl-A), then choose "Move / rename" from the right-click context menu to resort all your movies. You may have to manually delete the old folders if they are left over.
 
Regarding genres, those just come from the website JavLuv scrapes. I should mention one of the major features I'd like to add in the future is a tab for managing genres more explicitly, like doing batch changes and check all genres by popularity, etc.

In the meantime, remember there IS a way to do primitive genre filtering via substitution in the settings. I've added quite a few default filters to fix redundant genre names, but you are free to add your own new substitutions as well. These will be applied every time you import new movies or when you choose "filter metadata" in the right-click options menu.

Yep, JavLuv searches all fields, including notes. I added that so people could put whatever they want there. I sometimes use it for a few things that don't really fit in the genre field.

Thanks. So those notes get pushed into the <plot> in the xml or nfo file. Very helpful! thanks

Does anyone know a fast way to re-associate a file name to a correct actress? For some reason, that I cannot determine. My recent scan has associated the actress Risa Murakami as an alternate name for Risa Takagi. They are not the same person and I cannot figure how the program made this connection other than the first name. So now if I search for Risa Murakami I get all of the results for Risa Takagi, nothing for Sarina Takeuchi (Risa Murakamis other name) and a mish-mash of Risa Murakami and Risa Takagi. THis is a bit of a mess for me. To determine what videos belong to whom and then correcting the actress name as well as the alternate names which javluv has incorrectly assigned is a big pain. Is there an easy one-click solution to this issue. I thought about deleting metdata for all of the files under Risa Takagi but I am expecting that it would just yield the same, incorrect , result. Does anyone have any quick fixes for this issue?risa.jpg
 
This kind of thing happens because all english JAV databases are riddled with mistakes and poorly thought out(JAVlibrary can't even list more than 10 actresses for a movie for example).

Actresses with the same name will often get bundled up into one, be missing alternate names and many other issues like that.

No idea if JAVluv has a way to get around those kind of issues though other than manually fixing the metadata, but hopefully someone that knows better will chime in.

Thanks for the response Sam. I wouldn't have even mentioned it but I have scanned these directories many times and Risa Murakami always showed up as her own actress with possibly her other name attached but never appended to an entirely different actress. This is a new one for me. I've manually re-named as many files as I could identify as her titles. I'm sure there are others but dems de breaks. IT is a weird anomaly and like you said when you're dealing with remote .nfo files who knows what misakes have been coded? All good though, I'll plod along and fix what I can and live with what I can't. Cheers.
