Embed online videos

Open draftvader opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

One of the major changes to how we consume our adult content is that so much of it is now available online. By using online content in our collections we can reduce our storage needs and lower our power consumption (online storage will almost always be more efficient/Gb).

If we could add urls for content it would serve as a back up to our local files and could allow us to replace it. A further development idea for this would be to allow an array of urls for these videos.

The only downside is locating and indexing the url of the actual video. However tools like "Video DownloadHelper" already do this well so there must be tools available to assist with this.

Anyway, just an idea for your, already, great solution.

The idea is very interesting. Third-party chromium extensions are not supported by electron (this is one of the frameworks used by the application), or poorly supported. I think I can create my own parser, but this is a huge task. I need to learn more on this task to find out if it is realistic to do it. I'll come back to it later.

I am also planning to add a parser for local videos. For it, you need to add the URL to the video so that the parser understands where to get the information from. And the parser will take tags and performers from the specified URL.

I knew it was Chromium. There is just a "thing" about Chromium. Certainly saves a ton of dev and support! Nice thinking you have there. Just want to reiterate the possibility of being able to store an array (say 3) of URLs for duplicity
