I've uploaded a guide with pictures and scripts (only for Windows) to make running the program super easy. Check it out below,

Download here

It appears that your link is no longer valid. Did you want to try that again?

Should be good now.

Very useful. Thank you!

Package is corrupted bro?

Developer

Looks fine to me. Maybe try downloading it again, or using different software to extract the files?

PS: Awsome tutorials!

Hi 

I just bought the tool but I do not know how to install it on my computer, I am very beginner with this

please help!!

Developer

Hi!

There is no real install for this. You simply extract the contents to a folder and it's installed. I would think the guide would explain everything in more detail from there.

HI again!!

I can't download, I get the following warning:

Hi. Thanks for the kind message. Since no one else chimed in yet,  please re-download the latest version since I can see your not running the latest re-pack. Secondly, it's saying it cannot find your cookies.txt file. Make sure the path your specifying is correct. for example, if you specified "cookies.txt", then make sure it is present in your jav-it directory.

Hello, everyone. I am having difficulty executing the download commands. It tells me that "the output directory to save your streams in does not exist!". I have tried using the "download.bat" to streamline it, but this also presented with the same error message. How do I go about bringing this output directory into existence?

I have attached an image of my command prompt window. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Nevermind, I figured it out. I  went to the community discussion titled, "[ANSWERED] How to use i dont understand code", and I was able to get it working. 

Kudos @blowtorch for succinctly explaining what needs to be typed on the command line!

Hi,

I download with DMM, but return with 'unknown flag 'server'' error. But without problem with R18. Please help.

i use window 10 home, i download and exact it but i can't find how to use it?, please hepl me bro


i follow readme text but the cmd can't work


thanks all, hope you reply soon 

Copy both the "Catalog" and the "jav-it" file and place them in the same folder  as the files you want "named/matched". Double click the Catalog file (click the "Run" prompt when that pops up) and it will do the rest for you.  at least that's what worked for me (locally, still trying to figure out how to activate it on a NAS). Hope that helped.

please update the link

Link should be good now

No, it is showing that the file is no longer available.

Yeah, the file is gone again

Alright, screw mega; it's on Gdrive now.

I'm getting this message:

Enter download server (DMM or R18):r18

Press any key to continue . . .


I have a cookie file in the folder. I'm not sure what to do.

The cookie file must be named cookies.txt.

It is.

How to export cookies from R18? 

The directory specified does not exist or could not be accessed! 


Which step am I missing? 



I keep getting this message, please help

This is my folder


How to fix

What's the discord invite URL? I can't find it in the readme file

Will this download script work with downloading VR content from R18 using the Patreon version of Jav-It?

(1 edit)

I dont know if it is because I am using an VPN, but I have to use VPN to get to foreign network.

This functionality is supported by https://www.jav-subtitles.com.

R18.com is closing in the new year. Let's just say I spent quite a bit of money since the summer of 2016 and now they will deny access!

They are about to pay a high price for denial of my rightly paid for products.

Please tell me this program can download and archive my R18 library onto an external HDD (We are talking 3500+ titles here so lot of space needed but the good news is they are mainly SD not HD)

I was planning to get a new HDD anyway, just need enough space to backup my titles before they get removed, and yes I was a legit paying customer so this is not piracy linked in any way just in case somebody has the wrong idea.

Thanks in advance.

Might take a bit of time but this program (=JAV-IT) will do the trick yes. I'm using it to archive my R18 titles atm. I only had 10-15 so I'm almost done but in your case it might take some time :P

regardless of their ToS. We can potentially sue them btw

Still need help with your library, send me an email to save_r18@yahoo.com

hi. Just read your message. Are you offering help to preserve R18 library?

I have 200+ collection. 

I have some Rio, but no Uehara. 

Sure I can, send me an email to save_r18@yahoo.com

Did Soteria manage to help you?

Did you get a start on this project? I don't have that many titles, but would like to know how you are getting on with yours. 

Hi, I'm planning to buy this, thank you for the guide but probably just me but there's no picture appeared on my end. Only the first pic for the cookie appeared.

Thank you

Hi, When I run Catalog.bat it works and creates a directory with all the info but no subtitles in the movie. I tried a few and always get this message: 

" Incompatable subtitle definitions file detected! Subtitle searching is disabled."

jav-it is version 1.12.9 and the subtitle file is subtitle.mod, the latest from Patreon.

How to get the file to have subtitles if available?

Thanks

Hello, I try to use jav-it but when I try to use content ID and the program is like "[FAIL] An internal exception was caught: Index out of bounds [-2]."  So please help me fix it

Thanks a lot for the guide man. Works like a damn charm.

Does this grab the highest possible resolution for the video? Like if i have 1080P or 1440P it will go and download that version?

(+1)

and can i download multiple files at the same time? or have to go one by one?

I would like your patreon link, i sent you friend request on discord. thank you.

I have a batch of R18 videos I downloaded years ago (I can NOT download them again).  Im trying to remove the DRM with this,  but it doesnt seem to be able to remove the DRM from downloaded videos and instead has to download them from the site.  Is there anyway to remove DRM from R18 videos that have already been download and are stored locally?

using the download batch file in the guide is returning an error saying the output directory to save streams doesnt exist. where should i go to set the directory?

Can't download anything atm. Maybe this was it. Managed to save the 3rd of my "collection". Maybe the shutdown has come sooner than end of January..

r18 is no longer showing content id or more details about the movie , did i miss my window to save my library since its closing soon ?

If you click on the "Watch" button, a tab/window should pop up to play the video. In the link there should be something in it that says "player?cid=[Video Code]"

I'm a total newbie to all this. I just got the bad news that r18 is shafting all their customers.   Is there a method to resave files already saved on my HDD? I had to save all my R18 files locally as I had issues streaming with my internet. I have the files but now ...400+  but r18 is screwing us all and I wont be able to play them... . how can I convert the files I have to a still usable form after their cut-off date? Somebody, PLEASE help. 

hi, i got the download output folder error message too

someone can help ?

(1 edit)

Is there a way to batch/bulk download?

Also, I seem to be getting the error "The directory specified does no existor could not be accessed!" when the folder isn't on my desktop when using the Catalog and the Download.  Is there an easy fix for this?

You are AWESOME THANK YOU. I was so scared that I'd be stuck with something I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use. Your program made it dead easy.

FYI if anyone gets stuck on the cookies thing, you need to rename the cookies file to cookies.txt. Also the download.bat file goes in the same folder as jav-it.exe

I follow the guide but i dont know why it show like this pls help.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Failure: Unknown command `download'. You should use the catalog command.

Usage:

  jav-it.exe <catalog>

Available commands:

  catalog

Does this work with 1.7.5? I tried dmm and it doesn't work
