Personally I use XBVR to manage my collection but I have almost exclusively VR videos.
Otherwise there’s Stash that’s less VR oriented but I haven’t used it.
My organization:
- Staging: Scripts without videos
- NotRated
- Rated-1 (Not Interested): Only scripts. As the number of rated 5 and permanent get higher, it took over Rated-2 and 3. 4 is next.
- Rated-4
- Rated-5
- Rated-Permanent: I backup all the .funscript but only backup videos from this folder. If I ever get stranded on a desert island (with my PC, Index, and OSR2), this is the folder I want with me .
- FavoritesWithoutHaptics: I used to have a dedicated folder for Haptics, but now it’s the reverse since I mostly watch with Haptic, except when I’m searching for a scene to script.
Also, when I’m downloading a script, I’ll add the scripter name in the filename. When I’m “rating” a script, whether I like it or not, I’ll try to check their other scripts at the same time. Sometimes, this allows me to rate a bunch of scripts at the same time.
But, honestly, I’m losing the war. There are too many scripts now to try them all, especially since I’m often testing my own scripts. Right now, I have 125 scripts in ‘Staging’ and 370 in ‘NotRated’.
I use stash and think it’s amazing. Don’t know about VR but great for both organising and playing 2D scripts.
Here’s what my library looks like, with some filters I’ve saved. It is producing heatmap and script speed automatically. I can add ratings and filter/sort in any way.
What do you do to get it to display the heatmaps and script info? Is there a way you can get ScriptPlayer to integrate with it to automatically connect to something, or do you still have to open the videos there to get them to connect to a device?
You just keep a funscript file in the same place as the video, with the same name a .funscript extension to make stash pick it up.
No need for scriptplayer, stash is also linking the Handy and playing the script. Not sure about other devices. Makes it really easy to switch between vids and you can make playlists.
Hm, mine don’t show the heatmaps even though I have the funscripts (and the generated heatmaps) in the same folders. Is there a setting for it?
I don’t have a Handy, so I can’t directly connect it, seems I’ll still be using ScriptPlayer to connect for the time being
EDIT: Actually I think I found it. I didn’t click “Generate”, I just assumed it’d generate when I scanned, so now I’m waiting for it to generate content for what is actually 1.2 Tb of videos. Apparently I have over two weeks of porn.
…sorry to have to ask stupid question, massive noob here, can’t get past first stage with Stash. In that i’m trying to ‘Select Directory’ but it only seems to allow access to C: and all my files are on K:. Tried setting it as a Task, no joy, initiated a zero-second scan.
i’m obviously missing something blindingly obvious, does anybody know what it is…?
You need change the text yourself, so in the window that says C://, you just change the C to a K.
Im at the point myself where Im trying to figure out how to actually connect the Handy to stash. Pretty lost here.
go to settings > interface > scroll down and you’ll see a section " Interactive Options" and you add " Handy Connection Key" there and it should be smooth sailing from there
…oh for Pete’s sake, i was backspace deleting when i needed to highlight and deleting. Thanks for the tip…
@Bounce It looks like it’s been a while since you’ve bee on but figured I’d try to ask anyways (or maybe someone else has an answer).
Do your symlinks work in VR players like DeoVR or Heresphere? I really like having just the “main” library like you mentioned and a separate script folder, but I’m not able to get it to work as you’ve described. I posted a little more about this in another thread.
I’m at over 200TB myself. I use xbvr to organize my funscripts and videos. I like the fact that I don’t have to care about filenames - xbvr serves the matching video and script to HereSphere automatically.
So I use Stash and stash-vr(local modified version) to support my organization and vr needs. The local modifications I made was to add ivdb support (handy tokens) so that I just need video and it will fetch the funscript (only for vr videos now).
I also have a custom plugin for stash to add support for multiple stash scripts which I also need to add ivdb support (heatmaps and fetching) support at some point. Works pretty good for my needs and I do have some symlinks but it’s all configured within stash “watch folders” no smb server setup so maybe that would change it up a bit .
I run a similar setup with stash, stash-vr (and also stash-vr-companion) and a handy - but would love ivdb support / handy tokens, as well as the custom stash plugin.
Regarding multiple funscripts - If the code is clean, you should send a pull request to stashapp! This is a feature that’s lacking! If it could also serve up SRT subtitles, that would be fantastic!
Either way is impressive work!
Do you host your modifications somewhere, or are they private?
Yeah I did submit a PR to stash a while back to add in some support I needed to make the plugin.
The plugin can be found here GitHub - blackx69/StashInteractiveTools . I will need to push up the stash-vr fork with the ivdb vr changes (uses url section in stash to store info). No heatmap support in say HereSphere yet , waiting for dev to update API to support that .
I really should make an official post here lol been in pretty quite around it. Unfortunately this stash scripts (multiple funscript support) won’t work for say NAS I don’t believe but I don’t have a setup to confirm that or not.
I’ll go ahead and make that Tools thread here pretty soon
Sounds awesome - will wait for your writeup Thank you!
Symlinks work for me through DeoVR, but I am streaming the files using XTplayer web.
Sounds awesome
Just adding my two cents that symbolic links are the way to go. Any program which doesn’t explicitly try to avoid opening a symbolic link rather than a real file will be able to use them. You can then link the same video multiple times over in different categories, or even the same generic script with multiple videos, if that’s your thing.
The main problem is how to organize all those links. I have been meaning to write my own program to maintain a database and deploy links to various categories based on parameters in that database. I somehow doubt that level of functionality is available in the canned programs like Stash. The idea would be to have a program that lets you create a directory structure that can be navigated by any viewer software, where the script and video are in place with the correct names. That’s the ultimate end goal, in my opinion, short of universal player software integration with some kind of standard database system, which isn’t likely to happen anytime soon.
