Syncing MFP with your Stash media

You can do it, but it’s not the most intuitive thing. I do this in two separate ways. Both require having uniquely named video files for each version of the script. To avoid using unnecessary disk space, the extra files are hardlinks.

  1. Have each file be its own scene. This is the simplest way to do it, but you end up with the same video appearing multiple times in stash. Also, stash can automatically group identical files into the same scene, so you may have to manually split them.

  2. Have the different files be a part of the same scene. When choosing what script to play, you have to set that script’s video file as the primary, and refresh the page if you’ve already started the player before changing it. Works very well when you’re only using one of the scripts most of the time.

To split files into different scenes, or change which file is the primary, you need to open the scene and go into “File Info”.

I’m sure there are other ways to do this using plugins or something else, but these are the two ways I do it.
