| 1 | +# Movie Scene Checker — Stash Plugin |
1 | 2 |
|
| 3 | +Compares the scenes inside a Stash **Group** (Movie) against the scene listing |
| 4 | +on **AdultDVDEmpire**, so you can see at a glance which scenes you own and |
| 5 | +which you're still missing. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +--- |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +## Requirements |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +| Requirement | Notes | |
| 12 | +|---|---| |
| 13 | +| Stash v0.25+ | Plugin API + patch system | |
| 14 | +| Python 3.10+ | Backend scraper | |
| 15 | +| `requests`, `beautifulsoup4` | `pip install -r requirements.txt` | |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +--- |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## Installation |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +1. Install via manager or manually pasting the folder into Stash's |
| 22 | + plugin directory. Installation documentation found here: |
| 23 | + https://discourse.stashapp.cc/t/how-to-install-a-plugin/1015 |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +2. Edit `config.json` with your settings (see **Configuration** below). |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +3. In Stash → **Settings → Plugins**, click **Reload Plugins**. |
| 28 | + You should see **Stash Group ADVE Movie Checker** appear in the list. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +4. Open any Group page — a **🎬 Scene Checker** button will appear below |
| 31 | + the Edit/Delete buttons. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +--- |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +## Configuration |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +All settings live in `config.json` inside the plugin folder. Open it in any |
| 38 | +text editor and fill in the three values: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +```json |
| 41 | +{ |
| 42 | + "stash_url": "http://localhost:9999", |
| 43 | + "stash_api_key": "", |
| 44 | + "adve_session_cookie": "ageConfirmed=true; defaults={}; etoken=PASTE_YOUR_ETOKEN_HERE" |
| 45 | +} |
| 46 | +``` |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +| Key | Description | |
| 49 | +|---|---| |
| 50 | +| `stash_url` | URL of your Stash instance. Change if you use a custom port or remote host. | |
| 51 | +| `stash_api_key` | API key for your Stash instance. Leave blank if authentication is not enabled. | |
| 52 | +| `adve_session_cookie` | Your AdultDVDEmpire session cookie string. See instructions below. | |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### How to get your AdultDVDEmpire session cookie |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +The plugin needs a valid session cookie to access ADVE movie pages. |
| 57 | +You only need to do this once — the `etoken` cookie persists until you log out. |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +1. Open your browser and log into [adultdvdempire.com](https://www.adultdvdempire.com). |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +2. Open **Developer Tools**: |
| 62 | + - **Chrome / Edge**: press `F12` or `Ctrl+Shift+I` (Mac: `Cmd+Option+I`) |
| 63 | + - **Firefox**: press `F12` or `Ctrl+Shift+I` |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +3. Click the **Application** tab (Chrome/Edge) or **Storage** tab (Firefox). |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +4. In the left sidebar, expand **Cookies** and click |
| 68 | + `https://www.adultdvdempire.com`. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +5. You will see a table of cookies. Locate these three: |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | + | Cookie name | Example value | |
| 73 | + |---|---| |
| 74 | + | `ageConfirmed` | `true` | |
| 75 | + | `defaults` | `{}` | |
| 76 | + | `etoken` | `a1=abc123...&a2=def456...&a3=789...` | |
| 77 | + |
| 78 | +6. Build the cookie string by combining all three in this format: |
| 79 | + ``` |
| 80 | + ageConfirmed=true; defaults={}; etoken=PASTE_FULL_ETOKEN_VALUE_HERE |
| 81 | + ``` |
| 82 | + Paste the **full value** of `etoken` exactly as shown in DevTools — |
| 83 | + it is a long string containing `a1=`, `a2=`, and `a3=` parts. |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +7. Paste the complete string as the value of `adve_session_cookie` in |
| 86 | + `config.json` and save the file. No plugin reload required. |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +> **Note:** If the scraper ever stops getting through to ADVE, your `etoken` |
| 89 | +> may have expired. Repeat steps 1–7 with a freshly logged-in session. |
| 90 | +
|

| 92 | + |
| 93 | +## Usage |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +### Per-Group check (normal use) |
| 96 | + |
| 97 | +1. Open any Group (movie) page in Stash. |
| 98 | +2. Click the **🎬 Scene Checker** button below the Edit/Delete buttons. |
| 99 | + The panel expands showing a **Check Scenes** button. |
| 100 | +3. The Group must have an `adultdvdempire.com` URL in its URL list. |
| 101 | + Click **Check Scenes** — the plugin scrapes ADVE and compares the results |
| 102 | + against scenes already linked to this Group in Stash. |
| 103 | +4. Use the **All / Missing / In Library** filter buttons to narrow the view. |
| 104 | +5. Click **✕** to collapse the panel back to button mode. Results are saved |
| 105 | + to disk and will restore automatically the next time you open the page. |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +### No ADVE URL |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +If the Group does not have an `adultdvdempire.com` URL in its URL list, the |
| 110 | +panel shows a warning. Edit the Group, paste the ADVE movie page URL into |
| 111 | +the URL field, save, then click **Check Scenes**. |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +### Bulk scrape (background task) |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +In **Settings → Tasks**, run **"Scrape ADVE Scenes for All Groups"** to |
| 116 | +pre-cache scene data for every Group that already has an ADVE URL. Note: |
| 117 | +this task can take awhile, plan accordingly. |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +--- |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +## How Matching Works |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +Each ADVE scene is matched to a Stash scene using these strategies in order: |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +1. **Performer + duration (primary)** — all performers listed on ADVE must be |
| 126 | + present in the Stash scene, AND the duration must be within tolerance |
| 127 | + (120 sec base + 10 sec per performer, to account for ADVE's rounded |
| 128 | + whole-minute durations). |
| 129 | +2. **Performer match alone** — used when ADVE has no duration listed. |
| 130 | +3. **Duration match alone** — used when ADVE has no performers listed. |
| 131 | +4. **Title match (fallback)** — normalized exact title comparison. Generic |
| 132 | + titles like "Scene 1" are skipped to avoid false positives. |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +--- |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +## Data Persistence & Caching |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +- Results are written to `results/group_<id>.json` after every run and persist |
| 139 | + across page navigations and Stash restarts. The **🎬 Scene Checker** button |
| 140 | + shows a completion badge (e.g. `2 / 4`) without needing to re-run. |
| 141 | +- ADVE pages are cached in `.cache/` for **24 hours**. |
| 142 | +- Click **Re-check** to force a fresh scrape and overwrite stored results. |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +--- |
| 145 | + |
| 146 | +## File Structure |
| 147 | + |
| 148 | +``` |
| 149 | +Stash_Group_ADVE_Movie_Plugin/ |
| 150 | +├── Stash_Group_ADVE_Movie_Plugin.yml ← Plugin manifest |
| 151 | +├── checker.py ← Backend: scraper + GraphQL + matching |
| 152 | +├── config.json ← Your settings (URL, API key, cookie) |
| 153 | +├── requirements.txt ← Python dependencies |
| 154 | +├── panel.js ← Frontend UI injected into Group pages |
| 155 | +├── results/ ← Auto-created; persisted result JSON files |
| 156 | +└── .cache/ ← Auto-created; cached ADVE HTML (24 hr TTL) |
| 157 | +``` |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +--- |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +## ⚠️ Scraper Fragility Note |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +The plugin scrapes AdultDVDEmpire's HTML. If ADVE changes their page markup, |
| 164 | +the selectors in `checker.py → scrape_adve()` may need updating. The key |
| 165 | +pattern to check is the scene anchor: |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +```python |
| 168 | +soup.find_all("a", attrs={"name": re.compile(r"^scene_\d+$")}) |
| 169 | +``` |
