The itch.io version only supports one data source, which is correct. In addition, please read the community rules for submitting help requests so that we can help you properly. Without context, we can't do much troubleshooting.

The screenshot you posted is some kind of front end to a patched/pirated version of the software which clearly no longer works and is obviously not supported. If your a Patreon subscriber, you can simply download the latest Patreon version and use that. And if you have any issues running the project, simply associate your Discord account with Patreon and you'll get added to our community servers where people can help you.
The itch.io version is for people who just need simple cataloging and not much else. For everything else, you can just jump directly to the Patreon version. If you are already subscribed, just associate your Discord account with Patreon, head over to our community Discord server, and you'll find everything you need.
If your not already subscribed, please make sure you read everything carefully or ask questions so you understand fully what your getting to avoid any possible disappointment.
Hi. The warning from Windows is a false positive. The app uses automation and compression techniques that some malware also shares in behavior, so Windows Defender flags it based on heuristics. In other words, it guesses based on behavior without actual proof. Microsoft does offer a paid code signing and whitelisting service to stop these warnings, but that is essentially a pay to be trusted system. For the Patreon link, simply see the README.txt file for more details.
If your logged in and still don't see it, I'm not sure what is up since it should be there (but only if your logged in and looking at the right page). If you want to write me your Discord username here, I can add you as a friend and help you troubleshoot and regain access, since it would be difficult on the forums here.
Can you kindly clarify, are you saying that downloads are disabled for your account? Do you have a screenshot I could see for troubleshooting purposes?
Also, make sure your trying to get the project from the right project page. If you purchased from our legacy page, you need to download the project from there.
Hi there!
If you check out the `README.txt` you can find all the information you need for Patreon. As for downloaded video files, *.dcv files from R18 are not supported as that website is no longer running and their licence servers are long dead. In addition, the secrets they use to secure videos are different than DMM, so cross decryption would be impossible. The only alternatives you have is to re-purchase all your titles on DMM with the Download option, or subscribe to one of their premium channels which allow downloading videos.
Hi there.
It's probably due to more recent versions of Ubuntu breaking some older dependencies. When you say your using the latest version, are you speaking about the latest LTS version, or just absolutely the latest version altogether? I can try to install a VM and see if there is a way to reproduce the issue and/or find a workaround for you if I find out. Alternatively, If you have access to Debian 12, or 11, you could give that a shot and see (since we generally support Debian due to it's much more slower and stable releases).
Edit: I installed a VM with 24.04 and I can reproduce the issue. Looking into it now to see if there is anything I can do.
Hi there,
Just to clarify—everything you mentioned (including VR support and access to the Discord server) is explained on the itch.io project page under the section `Patreon, Discord, And The Future of Jav Preservation`. The key part is that these features are only available through the Patreon version of Jav-it.
If you'd like to decrypt your purchased DMM VR videos and get Discord community access, you'll need to subscribe on Patreon first. Once you do, you’ll get access Discord where you can find our community, tutorials, guides, and troubleshooting help.
Could you share a screenshot of your cataloging output so we can see what is being printed? The Itch.io version supports only the initial subtitle definitions file, which detects around 1,000 titles. The latest version scans over 23,000 signatures and receives updates—a significant improvement, though still small compared to the amount of JAV that gets released.
Hi there! Do you have any output logs of your run in question? That might help a bit in figuring out what is going on.
Edit: OK, I uploaded a new version which (I hope) helps resolve the issue your seeing. Can't be 100% sure, but it sounds like maybe the translation services are mangling formatting and causing text to not be translated correctly.
Hi there. This forum is for the Itch.io version of the project. For proper Patreon support, please hit us up on the official Patreon discord server, and someone would be happy to help you. If your not already a part of our Discord community, simply associate your Discord account with your Patreon account and you should be added to our servers automatically. Thanks!
Huh? If your using p1.17.5, then your already subscribed, nothing to think about. The only reason your getting the virus warnings is because Windows Defender is terrible and marks everything as a false-positive (Everything is cross compiled under Linux). Just make an exception for the program, or disable Windows Defender and you should be fine.
There is a very slim chance that the encryption keys are the same on DMM as they are on R18. That means if someone decrypted a title from DMM using the Patreon client and our servers cached the keys, in theory those same keys could be used to decrypt your R18 content. But there is no way to be sure as this is just a theory.
Hi there,
Thanks for the kind inquiry! Jav-It is primarily a command line interface tool, so you will need some knowledge about command line interfaces to get the most out of it (that's why double clicking it does not launch anything). That being said, the GUI is just fine for getting people introduced to the simplest options. The reason why your getting graphical glitches is because your computer is likely running on a non-English locale. To fix this, simply perform the following:
1. Open the jav-it_gui.bat file in a text editor (eg Notepad++ ).
2. Create a new line at line 1 and add the line "chcp 65001" to it.
3. Save the file and run again by double clicking it.
After this, your terminal window should display the GUI correctly.
