Hi, Im not familiar with code in the command prompt. Say I just want to cataloge JAV videos I have that are not from r18 dmm, will this still work?

So far what I tried always return with no functions being triggered or path not recognized.

I'm running Windows10 Home x64

C:\Users\Panda&Kitty>E:\Torrent\jav-it_v1.7.2_windows>jav-it.exe catalog -d <E:\Torrent\(J)>

The syntax of the command is incorrect.

This above is what I keyed in followign the readme instructuions.

From your syntax above, why do have ">" instead of " \"  ?

I assume that when you open cmd you get

C:\Users\Panda&Kitty

What I usually do is change directory to where I put the jav-it.exe using  cd (change directory) 

C:\Users\Panda&Kitty cd c:\jav-it

Try making it simple by copying all the extracted zip files to c:\jav-it

Hi, thank you so much for helping, following your advice I have keyed in the following:

C:\Users\Panda&Kitty>cd C:\Users\Panda&Kitty\Downloads\jav-it_v1.7.2_windows\jav-it.exe catalog -d\E:\JAV

The system cannot find the path specified.

The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\Users\Panda&Kitty>cd C:\Users\Panda&Kitty\Downloads\jav-it_v1.7.2_windows

The system cannot find the path specified.

The system cannot find the path specified.

C:\Users\Panda&Kitty>cd C:\jav-it

The system cannot find the path specified.

Prior to doing this, I moved the jav-it folder back to C drive's download folder and the E:\JAV is where I kept the video. However, now it states that the path specified could not be found. Do I maybe need to retart the PC after moving the folder?

Cheers.

When you start cmd, you get

C:\Users\Panda&Kitty

All you have to do is change directory using this

C:\Users\Panda&Kitty cd c:\jav-it

and you should now have

c:\jav-it

It looks like you you didn't type a space before typing the cd

Once you are in the correct path, you can type the script

c:\jav-it\jav-it.exe catalog -d <your_video_path>

YOU must have a space between -d and your video library location

From your message you didn't have a space

Hope this helps

Another point to note, don't move the whole jav-it extracted folder, but only the jav-it.exe file and the dictionary.csv file

By the way, I would try first to catalog only one video and see if you like what you get, and not the whole library right from the start.

I would follow what GoodTool has already said, as it is solid advice. However, as to your question about cataloging, the Itch.io version of Jav-It uses an older backend engine which is only capable of scraping basic content from R18. It cannot scrape Amateur content, cross reference (and translate) plot information from DMM, or use secondary sources (outside of R18/DMM) to obtain metadata with. If you want comprehensive coverage and a significantly updated feature-set, I would encourage you to consider becoming a Patreon supporter instead.

Hi, thats good to know, may I ask how to become a Patreon?

Cheers.

Hi there,

Simply see the "README.txt" file included in the Itch.io version of Jav-It for more information on how to become a Patreon supporter. If you are interested in directly supporting me on Patreon (and do not have access to the Itch.io version), you can use the following link: http://www.shorturl.at/joyOU.

hey Jav-it, so.... with itch version of the program, I can't download unless I update to the latest version. Is it the same situation on the Patreon version?

Developer

Hi there,

Yes, you must use the latest supported version of Jav-It. As newer versions are released with bug fixes and features, older versions are no longer supported.
