PhoenixAdult metadata agent

This metadata agent helps fill Plex with information for your adult videos by pulling from the original site.

Features

Currently the features of this metadata agent are:

• Scrapes any available Metadata, including:

  • Scene Title
  • Scene Summary
  • Studio
  • Originating Site / Subsite / Site Collection (saved as the Tagline, and also a Collection for easy searching)
  • Release Date
  • Genres / Categories / Tags
  • Porn Stars (stored as Actors, with photo)
  • Scene Director(s)
  • Movie Poster(s) / Background Art

• Function to strip common "scene" tags to assist with matching

• Function to replace abbreviated site names with full site names to assist with matching

• Function to clean up / merge genres

• Function to clean up / merge actresses with aliases (e.g. Doris Ivy is Gina Gerson)

• Function to locate an image for actors where the original site doesn't provide one

• Function to manually add actors for sites the agent doesn't support

• Function to automatically rename files (WIP)

File Naming

The agent will try to match your file automatically, usually based on the filename. You can assist it by renaming your video appropriately. If the video is not successfully matched, you can try to manually match it using the [Match...] function in Plex. See the manual searching document for more information. Best practice for each site is listed in the sitelist document. Plex Video Files Scanner needs to be set as the library scanner for best results.

Here are some naming structures we recommend:

• SiteName - YYYY-MM-DD - Scene Name .[ext]
• SiteName - Scene Name .[ext]
• SiteName - YYYY-MM-DD - Actor(s) .[ext]
• SiteName - Actor(s) .[ext]

Real world examples:

• Blacked - 2018-12-11 - The Real Thing.mp4
• Blacked - Hot Vacation Adventures.mp4
• Blacked - 2018-09-07 - Alecia Fox.mp4
• Blacked - Alecia Fox Joss Lescaf.mp4

Some sites do not have a search function available. This is where SceneID and Direct URL come in to play. These usually don't make the most intuitive filenames, so it is often better to use the [Match...] function in Plex. See the manual searching document for more information.

If you would prefer to integrate SceneIDs into your filenames, instead of manually matching in Plex, here are some naming structures we recommend:

• SiteName - YYYY-MM-DD - SceneID .[ext]
• SiteName - SceneID .[ext]
• SiteName - SceneID - Scene Name .[ext]

Real world examples:

• EvilAngel - 2016-10-02 - 119883 (taken from the URL https://www.evilangel.com/en/video/Allie--Lilys-Slobbery-Anal-Threesome/119883)
• MomsTeachSex - 314082 (taken from the URL https://momsteachsex.com/tube/watch/314082)
• Babes - 3075191 - Give In to Desire (taken from the URL https://www.babes.com/scene/3075191/1)

Reporting a bug

We try to maintain bug-free code, but bugs do happen. If you are having difficulty matching a scene, please refer to Known Issues before submitting an Issue.

Known Limitations

Some sites do not have many high quality images that can be used as poster or background art. I have found the forums at ViperGirls.to to be a great resource for artwork in these situations.
