A command-line based tool to scrape and sort your local Japanese Adult Video (JAV) files.
Build a local JAV media library in a content management system (CMS) like Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby.
A rebuild of my previous project JAV-Sort-Scrape-javlibrary as a console-focused application.

- Clone the repository or download the latest release
# Import the module (you will need to run this every time you open a new shell)
PS> Import-Module ./Javinizer.psm1
# Or add the module files to your appropriate PowerShell version module path
PS> $env:PSModulePath
Please look over the settings.ini
file located in the root Javinizer
module folder. The settings file contains important fields that you will need to fill out to effectively use the Javinizer program.

- If your library consists of both censored and uncensored movies, I recommend keeping 2 separate settings files for each group. You can then use the
-ImportSettings
parameter to specify the second settings file - If you are scraping large amounts of videos (1000+) with
translate-description=True
, do note that you may get IP banned from the Google Translate API for an indeterminate amount of time (up to 24 hours?)- You may want to scrape your library in batches, or set
translate-description=False
to avoid this altogether
- You may want to scrape your library in batches, or set
- If you want to update/refresh your existing metadata scraped from Javinizer, you can run a
Javinizer -Path <Path> -Recurse -MoveToFolder:$false -RenameFile:$false -Multi
- By default, only nfo metadata will be overwritten when running Javinizer on already sorted directories
- If you use the
-Force
parameter, Javinizer will also overwrite your image/trailer/etc files
- If you use the
- By default, only nfo metadata will be overwritten when running Javinizer on already sorted directories
- Actress metadata scraped from JAVLibrary will match actresses with their thumbnails from your
r18-thumbs.csv

Unicode error when trying to translate plot description | Try setting in Windows 10: Region Settings -> Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support . |
Descriptions still in Japanese even with translate-description=True |
You may have been IP banned from the Google Translate API for scraping too much in a short amount of time. Wait a few hours and try again. |

Ignore this error as it should not effect the end-result. |
Unable to sort videos with letters following the numeric ID (e.g. LE-01D, IBW-500z) | Sort using direct URLs with the -Url parameter, or rename the file to exactly how the ID appears on R18/JAVLibrary, and use the -Strict parameter (e.g. Javinizer -Path . -Strict ) when calling Javinizer. This may cause the filename to be appended with -pt# depending on which letter is used, but you can also set the setting rename-file=False or just rename it manually after. |
