What it is

An Emby/Jellyfin plugin that scrapes Japanese adult film metadata and images from sites like JavBus, JavDB, FC2, and AVSOX by recognizing JAV identification numbers (番号) in filenames. It uses a CloudFlare Worker-based jsproxy proxy to bypass geographic restrictions and includes features for translating titles/genres via Baidu API, extracting actress faces, and organizing media automatically. Monolithic C# plugin: core scraper abstract base (Scrapers/AbstractScraper.cs) with site-specific implementations (JavBus.cs, JavDB.cs, FC2.cs, etc.); JavMovieProvider/JavPersonProvider handle Emby integration; Configuration folder manages plugin settings; Data folder contains Entity Framework models…

Start here

Open these first:

• Emby.Plugins.JavScraper/Plugin.cs — Main plugin entry point that registers scrapers, providers, and tasks with Emby/Jellyfin; all contributors must understand…
• Emby.Plugins.JavScraper/Scrapers/AbstractScraper.cs — Base class for all metadata scrapers (JavBus, JavDB, FC2, etc.); defines the core scraping interface that every new source…
• Emby.Plugins.JavScraper/JavMovieProvider.cs — Emby/Jellyfin movie metadata provider that orchestrates scraper selection and metadata fetching; critical integration point
• Emby.Plugins.JavScraper/JavIdRecognizer.cs — JAV ID extraction logic from filenames/folder names; fundamental for matching movies to metadata sources
• Emby.Plugins.JavScraper/Configuration/PluginConfiguration.cs — Plugin settings schema (proxy config, scraper preferences, organization rules); required for understanding configuration flow

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/JavScraper/Emby.Plugins.JavScraper.git
cd Emby.Plugins.JavScraper
dotnet restore Emby.Plugins.JavScraper.sln
dotnet build Emby.Plugins.JavScraper/Emby.Plugins.JavScraper.csproj
# Output: Emby.Plugins.JavScraper/bin/Release/JavScraper.dll

Daily commands:

This is a library DLL, not a standalone app. Build with dotnet build and deploy JavScraper.dll to Emby plugins directory (e.g., /volume1/Emby/plugins on Synology, emby/programdata/plugins on Windows), then restart…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Single-maintainer risk — top contributor 94% of recent commits
• Baidu API credentials: BodyAnalysisService.cs requires API Key + Secret; feature silently degrades if unconfigured. Scraper site blocking: Each scraper (JavBus.cs, JavDB.cs, FC2.cs, AVSOX.cs, etc.) may break if…
• License evidence is incomplete or ambiguous.
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
