Application to manage porn collection (or any downloaded video collection)

When I join a porn site it usually goes like this:

-Browse the videos and download the ones I like, added those scenes to the website's My Favorites page if it provides one.
-Maintain an Excel spreadsheet of the clips containing a scene name, the models name and some tags such as 'blonde', 'brunette', 'threesome', 'anal', you get the jist
-When the membership expires, browse through the collection and use the spreadsheet to weed out the non-keepers and for the keepers add some brief info about the scene, for example: the positions, whether cumshot is on pussy, tits, facial etc (though that could be in the tags)

Now maintaining that information can take time and be tedious.

[Heads up - skip this paragraph if you're not a techie]
In the past and where a site provides a 'favorites' facility, I've written a piece of Javascript code to scan a porn site favorites page and extract the name of the scene, the names of the model and the name of the video file, along with any tags for each scene, and copy them to the clipboard so that I can paste them into the spreadsheet with a single copy/paste operation. However, this isn't completely automatic and involves a bit of messing around 'injecting' code into the web browser's Javascript console (apologies if this is tech-babble to you).

So what I've thought is: how about an application that allows you to browse a porn site, then when you decide to download a scene, you can press a button and choose/click which text on the scene description/download page contains the scene name, which text contains the model name(s), and which text contains any tags that the site might provide, and then download the scene with all the associated info saved by the application. The application would remember the positions of those texts on the page so that subsequent downloading from other scene description pages (assuming it's the same layout/format as previous scene pages which it generally is) would automatically extract the scene name, model name and tags and then download the video, all from a press of a download button.

The application would allow you to manage the downloaded files, search by model name, tags or any other info you store, and would hopefully make building a porn collection from a web site much quicker and easier.

The question is, does such an application already exist? If not then I'd consider writing one when I get spare time as it'd be an interesting challenge. I'd make it free and welcome feedback from users for new features, maybe in exchange for an optional PayPal donation of your choosing.

What do you guys and gals think?

Hi pinkerton,


Maybe these apps might be interesting :

Personal Video Database

http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/

Pornganizer

https://pornganizer.org/

Some other, maybe useful apps

https://solutions.softonic.com/best-software/resources-for-organizing-movies

To be honest I never used an app to organize my porn. I do this the old fashion way with folders and sub folders. Next to that I created an MS Access database to keep track of what I have and want. Edited on Feb 05, 2018, 10:07am

That looks rather good, especially the V4 preview

Sadly I'm too non-technical though I would love an app or program to help with this too.

I'm just guessing, but the vast market of porn pirates would have no interest in this so the true collectors like most of us here would be a small base.

I have to say that I real respect how you've got such a well-organized porn collection. I am way too casual when it comes to naming files and I always end up having to click through a bunch to find the one that I want.

I agree that sites could do a better job at naming their files. And can I just say that every once in a while you come across one where every download has the same default filename and that's really the worse.

Sometimes I write for my own use applications that extract data from specific web pages. Never tried writing a general purpose one, it would be very complex and I'm too lazy for that (BTW, I'm no professional programmer, but it's something I can do rather easily).

As for managing your clips, look here: http://vidine.net/

I have not tried it, but it looks good.

I've actually been working on something like this. I wrote a chrome extension that collects data from a few sites I subscribe to and submits data to a web server on my local computer.

The web server builds up all the cross-referenced pages on actors, videos, and photos which I can access. I've collected data from about four sites so far.

One I've built up the page, I generate a list of the videos and photo sets, then my chrome extension cycles through all of them and downloads them automatically.

I also uploaded a list of all my files and it matches them to the sites videos (which is quite hard on some sites because you don't get the filenames or many of the files have the same names).

It's quite rough right now, but I have the proof of concept for it. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, I might put on a public server but I'd still have a lot of work to do on it before it is ready for prime time.

When my extension visits the page, I note that the download needs tokens, and if so, later when I want to download it, I automatically navigate to the page, then the chrome extension finds the right link and opens it or clicks on it. If a token is needed for a class of downloads per site, it is the same through the whole site. If the download doesn't need a token, I can just log into the site then open each download link directly.

I've implemented the back end in Rails, so I have a whole app and a database for it. The database has my own files in it, but I created a user module and all the files have a user owner. I set it up so theoretically I can deploy it on a Rails service, but I'd have to clean up the pages and pay attention to logged-in users. That probably won't take a lot of work to get set up. Also, my site is probably horribly inefficient in accessing the database, so it probably won't scale up at the moment. Probably a few users at a time would work though.

I could probably create a desktop app which can fetch database updates from somewhere, but that would be a lot of work.

I might be able to clean it up and put up a small web server, and see what people think about it. It takes me a few days to add the code to get all the info from a new site, so adding a large number of new sites will be a bit of work, plus I have to subscribe to those sites.

I notice that no one has posted to this thread in almost two years.

I wonder if there are any new applications out there which fulfill this need?

Pornganizer v4 is now publicly available and V5 is on the way. Does anyone have any experience with this application? The Collector
