Emby.Plugins.JavScraper

This is a plugin for Emby and Jellyfin, which are self-hosted media server applications people use to organize their personal video, music, and photo collections. The plugin automatically looks up and downloads metadata for Japanese adult films stored in your local library. It reads product codes embedded in file or folder names, contacts several external catalog websites, and pulls back titles, descriptions, cast information, cover artwork, and other details.

The README is written in Chinese. It explains that a custom proxy layer, deployed as a free CloudFlare Worker, handles the web requests between the plugin and the source sites. This proxy is needed because some of those sites may be blocked depending on the user's region. Users outside restricted regions, or anyone on a global VPN, can disable the proxy option entirely. The plugin also supports standard HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxies as alternatives.

Supported metadata sources include JavBus, JavDB, MGStage, FC2, AVSOX, Jav321, and R18. Each is a catalog site that indexes product codes along with studio, cast, and release information. Users can configure the priority order of these sources within the plugin settings.

Installation works by downloading a compiled .dll file from the project's releases page, copying it into Emby's or Jellyfin's plugins folder, and restarting the server. After that, the plugin appears in the server configuration where you point it to a proxy if needed. You then edit the target media library to use JavScraper as its metadata and image provider.

If automatic matching by file name fails, there is a manual identification option where you type the product code directly. Actress avatar photos are collected as a separate scheduled task, pulling from an open-source actress photo repository. Label translation from Japanese to Chinese and title translation are both listed as completed features. A file organization feature is listed as not yet done.
