@Boizi if you dont want to use your standard google drive or dropbox.... just get a seedbox... you can store things there just have to keep up on your subscription. you can install a torrent client right in your seedbox and download to your storage there and get credits for the upload. 3 tb for under 10 bucks a month. look up other services but I have enjoyed seedhost.eu gives you lots of space and good speeds, ability to just stream anything and still manage your active torrents.

I just tried it again to see if it still works easily and it does. Video DownloadHelper is easily one of the easiest, straightforward video downloading tool out there that works for 90% of your use case. Just pay the $20 lifetime membership and be done with it. And honestly, the fact that they're selling the tool to us instead of us having to rent it via a subscription was what sold it for me. If you do choose the VDH route, I recommend buying the Firefox version (might be a bit more expensive but there are less restrictions) I have mine on Google Chrome. If you seriously cant (or don't want to) fork over the $20 for it and conveniently have access to a LLM like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, etc. have one help you write a userscript for NakedSword specifically. I recommend using Grok (which is the most expensive at $30) since its the LLM with the least amount of restrictions. Claude and ChatGPT most likely will refuse to help you since it's copyright material. If you know how to work with a LLM well enough you can get them to help you though. Honestly, just get VDH.

@ianfontinell-0 i wish i knew whether their rules have always been like this. my fear is something like: “oh, the video is old, so we didn’t review it,” but it still stays up, kind of a grandfathered situation. as for the other topics, thank you for helping me understand!

@MrMazda ... 4 now it's back to normal ... Sometimes it appears and you can't log-in, the only option I do is to reset my network settings and restart PC ... Then I can get through ... It's tricky ...

bringing this back to the front, this does NOT work.

@frostycab ... unplug and try pressing a bit the silver knob [not to damage] the usb cable you plug not connecting properly, that way it can hold from the usb slot properly when inserted ... Sometimes a usb plug become loose due to plug in & out may cause an issue ... Any device connected from PC usb port will recognize each driver once properly inserted ... And if not it's due to firmware, adapter, or not compatible ... Safely remove hardware and eject media will recognize any device connected ... restarting your PC sometimes help to power up any connected device ...

@nyfallioregn I've been using Stashdb for a couple of years and think it's greta. Granted, it does take time to find the right info for a lot of titles. Can I ask exactly what steps you are using to try to identify scenes? It might be that you're doing something wrong. Also, have you tried adding more scrapers that are targeted to gay content?

@Bressum Didn't worked to me either

@ianfontinell-0 I assume this is why he did it: [image: 1742829229105-stale_topic_reply.png] The site does kind of make it seem like this is the recommended approach.

@Roganator I use Plex, but gave up on trying to get plugins to work.
