@lololulu19 you've demonstrated many times in these forums that you do not get a great number of things.. so I guess add this one to the list.

@OKCancel .. I think every reply back to him gives him what he's truly seeking... attention.

@lololulu19 any other special request on this super helpful "EASY WAY TO HELP ME GET PORN I WANT/IMPROVE YOUR RATIO" post?

I mean, it's a little bit suspicious that you'd have such specific instructions on how to structure the upload, being that you already have it but just can't upload it because <insert hilarious reason here> but I'm sure it's because you know others want to sort porn the exact way you do..

@frostycab I doubt he'll ever become edjumakated but I think occasionally pointing out the ridiculous fallacies, of whatever happens to be in his addled mind that makes it past his keyboard, serves a marginal benefit in that he is not taken seriously by other community members..

@jokuihmemies Google will be your friend here -- or use some of the links already provided in the thread -- if one of the apps sounds of interest just search the name plus 'download' in Google and you should find the site to get it .. Plex's is https://www.plex.tv/ but that might be over kill if you're not looking to stream out your stuff to friends and just want to sort/manage your stuff easier then one of the other apps mentioned above should work well.

@john32123666 yep that was it. the age ol' and ever present PICNIC error got me this time! lol.. Thank you!

@odoh11 FYI requests for specific content isn't allowed on this site.

@eobox91103 I agree .. some out there just 'push the button' to move some low quality 240p/480p direct to 1080p or higher then post it like they did something good lol.. then there are others who take the time to try to get an output that's better. There are a lot of very poor quality low rez and color mapped vids out there that AI won't fix, but can make it look better - TV/media players can't really do a good job of dynamically correct vids that have issues bad blocking, halos, ringing, banding, aliasing, and color corrections..

I've 'upscaled' several videos that did not focus on the resolution at all (you can only do so much with crappy input video quality).. Instead I focused on the quality of the picture itself, color graded or in some cases audio corrections with vocal isolation to undo the background music drowning out the verbal. All of thise can be done by hand but AI can make it dead simple to get a clean result in a fraction of the time.

@NF16 yeah I see your point - and if at the end of the day the result is basically the same as some other work but just done differently, then it's a dupe.

My thinking is that so long as there are included screenshots of the material, and not just using external internet google image sourced pics, that the duplication decision can be made then by moderators. If it looks materially no different than other torrents and near same size and is just another replication with the same result then it seems to fall into the realm of what the word duplication means. That said, it'd be much more work for the moderators to validate this such potentially small idiosyncrasies the squeeze may not be worth the juice..

To complicate matters, some, albeit very few, AI enhancements are focused on other restorative functions such as vocal isolation (background music / noise isolation), grain modifications, and/or significant amount of noise alteration that the intended result is not as easily distinguishable, if at all, from still screen captures. For example, I've made a few AI enhancements to some that left visual material alone and only focused on audio alterations. On a few occasions I've made vocal track treatments because the background music was blaring or in one case (ahem, looking at you "Cock on the Rocks") that the original production had all audio recorded by a flowing pool waterfall

@eobox91103 very cool! Now that is some good advice on an easy way to improve a ratio. All without specific instructions on what type of porn, how to sort it by one's individual preference, etc. Thank you for sharing!

@kalayaan ah okay, that makes sense. Thanks!

@tnar imagine if he were to find out out that there are other torrent sites, that have been around for years, that focus specifically on mainstream movies and broadcast & premium tv shows which he thinks is sole scope DCMA... the remaining logic circuit would melt.

@frostycab .. yeah my thoughts exactly. this guy

@MrMazda it opens a stats page for me.. seems to be a global stats page.

@kco yeah I get what you mean. I did a little digging and found the following that I think speaks of the techniques you're talking about:

Spread Spectrum Watermarking: This method spreads the watermark across the video's frequency spectrum. It's less likely to be removed without degrading the quality of the original video - probably the most robust approach and hardest to thwart.

Transform Domain Watermarking: Things like like Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). These methods transform the video into a different domain to embed the watermark, which makes it harder for people to find and remove the watermark.

Quantization Index Modulation (QIM) Watermarking: This changes certain parts of the video data just a little bit to hide the watermark. Not as robust as the above but still hard to remove.

Perceptual Watermarking: This method uses the human perceptual system's characteristics to embed the watermark in perceptually significant components of the video, making it harder to remove without noticeably degrading the video quality. Not too difficult to thwart.

Least Significant Bit (LSB) Watermarking: This is subtle and doesn't affect the video quality much, but if someone slightly changes the video then more than likely it also spoiled the watermark.

I've been using Plex for years to host both my porn content and regular cinema content for the household and content delivery for friends.. it's been working great, although it does have its pains - especially having to jump through a few hoops to get metadata content in for media it doesn't match. There's 3rd party agents and tools to go about it, so it hasn't been a show stopper but it also has some limitations when it comes to 4K+ content too..

I've been reading how people are moving more and more away from Plex to lot of people make switch to Jellyfin, Emby and a few others.

I am wondering what others out there are using, especially in the context of those that also have adult media like fellow members of this site..

@bear1515 haven't heard of Porn Organizer before -- I tried to Google it but results were all over the place probably because of the common words in the name.. Is there a link to it that you can share?

Also, when you tag your media does it update the file's metadata, like performer's name etc., or does it just keep track of that stuff only its own database? The pain with Plex is you have the actor field isn't editable directly with the UI so often you have to use metadata editors to tag them

@bear1515 cool - thanks! The lack of streaming externally to others would exclude it as an alternative for me, I have quite a number of friends who regularly remotely access my media libraries, but I like the other parts you describe of it .. I might check it out to see if I can use in conjunction with Plex.

Plex only allows a few fields to be modified via the user interface so I had to write some scripts to edit metadata (actors, directors, studio, etc.) in the media files themselves.. works just fine but the bad news w/ that approach the file is modified, slightly, so that means one I update it for Plex usage I can't use that file again for reseed requests on here. First world problems I suppose.. lol

@jokuihmemies yeah you should check one media management software out if you have a lot of files within those directories - the way of sorting that way is 'hunt and peck' kinda approach.. with the free software media managers mentioned above you can tag by categories, actors, studios, resolution, etc., etc.. then you can do things like easily find media with multiple criteria -- like a film that's 4K staring actors x, y and/or z, in a bareback gangbang (or whatever).. many of them can import already existing metadata tags that exist in video files (or match it with online databses) so you don't have to start entering data from scratch.

I have over 3,700 full films/DVDs in my Plex adult film library so sorting it without a media management software would be a no-go lol
