Next Release Coming at end of May 2025
🕑 Added 2025-05-24 12:37:59 +0000 UTCHi Guys,
I'm well into the next release now, and working on a few new features plus some small bug fixes that have been reported to me in recent weeks. A great idea from one of our user base is to include custom backgrounds when the normal grey application background is present.
With the application so polished now in my view with most features I had in my vision implemented then I'm reaching out for the next ideas and what you'd like to see. So here are a few ideas that I'd like some steer on in terms of whether they'll be worth exploring.
1. Elasticsearch - Implementing an option indexing system to cater for huge collections. Here I'm looking for feedback as to where those with large collections are finding the application slow.
2. API/SDK - An OpenAPI that allows functionality to be accessed by a RESTful API, this would be editing content, indexing, etc. Ideal for those that are interested in integrating with the application and have a level of coding ability!
3. Local Packing - Here for each index I'd propose to allow the user to opt to create an auto package (a zip maybe) of all the info, tags and artwork that belongs to that index. The idea then would be if you have a fresh install of the app, or another install then if the indexer sees a "package" then it will use this to import the data and then do a light scan. Beauty of this would be the package would act as a backup for that folder.
4. Metadata Cloud - Using the file signature identities, I could implement a library in the cloud that allows uses to match content other users may have already got and tagged etc..
5. DLNA/Screen casting support - I've been looking at this alot, still struggling but its an idea that was in v1 and you could cast to Kodi. I'm thinking something a bit more generic list ChromeCast or DLNA here. Essentially you'd be able to cast the content from the app to a living room tv for example.
6. Analytics - More info about the stats of your collection i.e. % of tags, most common tags, disk usage, index age, etc...
7. Tagging in Media Player - this is something I've wrestled with on another branch of the code and its pretty tricky to get right, but if everyone is seeing as the best use of time to get right then I'm happy to keep pushing this area. Would love some ideas around UI/UX on how best it could work!
So here's just 7 ideas I have for next releases. Let me know if you have some better ones or alternatives. Also let me know about any bugs as I'm still keen to keep polishing existing features!
As always thanks for the support on this awesome project, my two favourite hobbies combined into one project - couldn't wish for anything better!

Also kinda useful would be an interchange of prominent tags within the community so everybody can somewhat figure out what tags make the most sense.

No. 7 ist most crucial from my view. I still lack to keep up tagging everything. What I really like is also giving the P-Stars a sort of little gallery. Anyway picture accumulation is kinda rough. I dont get it how to smart search within the gallery itself for those actors. That would be great for example. But anyway tagging within the video is most crucial.

I Would reallllly love more image support. Especially sorting/ordering of imaged to be renamed in series. And automic tagging by facial recognition. Basically, as much like the old Google Picasa program as possible, but updated with modern AI facial recognition.

In my collection, 13 000 videos, no image, Tags : 4 400 actresses, 667 studios, 76 actions and 42 appearances. The app takes 150 seconds to start, but after that there's relatively little slowdown considering the size of my collection, especially the quick filters. Recurring slowdown appears when recording a new actress (almost 10 seconds in the last step) Local Packing : perfect Metadata Cloud : good idea DLNA/Screen casting support : what the app is currently missing. Personally, I use Emby to watch content on my TV but I would prefer to be able to use the Pornspective interface.
