New version 0.12.0-beta
The first global update in the last couple of years.
The application now runs on a local server, which means you can access it from a browser on any device on the local network.
The application’s appearance has been completely updated. Many functions have been simplified.
Ability to work with multiple databases.
The player’s functionality has been greatly expanded.
The filter system has been redesigned.
And much, much more…

Preview of self-hosted alpha version
Streaming video to a remote device is already available. Works even with large files of about 10GB.
You can see the metadata added to the video.
In the settings, added a table of assigned meta to a specific type of media. So far, this is just for clarity.
I also want to show you what I have been working on most of the time and the design of the database is not finished yet.
The dark model is the project, and the white is the already used database. It looks pretty confusing.
Recently, I have been mainly working on adding the application to the Microsoft store and, apparently, work there for another week. Because I will have to isolate some of the features into separate free plugins. For legal reasons.
I will try to make their use as convenient as possible. Most likely it will be something like download the archive, drop it into a folder, then press the button in the application. And that’s all. Plugin code will also be available on GitHub.
I also slightly embellished the home page and downloads page.
So far, I have suspended work on adding pictures. First, I’ll add support for movies. It turned out to be easier than I thought, and this is because I made a system for adding metadata.
In other words, movies are the same meta data that you can add to any video file (and in the future to any other media files, be it a picture or text). This will allow you to create a movie library to which you can add bonus content, cut scenes, etc.
I think it will be easier to use than in words.
Most likely the next release will be released in November.
Added:
- Dynamic playlists based on saved video filters.
- Saved filters under the heading with the option to turn off in the settings.
- Dropzone for adding videos. Drag a video or folder to the page to quickly jump into the video adding process (on the home page, the meta card page and the videos page).
- A page with files where you can view the files on your computer. Images can be opened in the built-in viewer.*
- Automatic creation of a backup (only databases, no pictures) every half hour.
- The number of views for the video and the date it was last viewed. You can sort videos by these parameters. The data can be viewed in the video editing dialog.
- Widget with 10 most viewed videos.
- The size of the generated images in the settings on the database tab.
- Added version of the database in the status bar.
- On the meta card page:
- An option in the settings that allows you to display the header image either in front of the profile or behind the profile.
Fixed:
- Clears the search text in the text box after adding a value. #79
- The zoom was not saved if it was changed from the system menu on macOS.
- After adding a marker in the built-in player, a new meta value was added to the end. It is now added in alphabetical order.
- If the tabs do not fit, then the tab navigation arrows did not appear.
- Data parser for freeones.com.
- The state of the widgets was saved incorrectly after customization.
Changed:
- Removed sidebar position option – hidden.
- Reduced the font size and indents of the page headings to save space. It also shows the number of filtered items and how many items in total.
- For video cards, the tooltip above the meta icon has been replaced with pop-up text. This sped up performance a bit.
- Switching the sorting direction by clicking on the active sorting option.
- On the home page:
- Removed second button “Customize Widgets”.
- At the first launch, dialogs are combined with the creation of meta and the creation of the most popular cards.
- On the meta card page:
- If there are no images, then images from the video are shown, if any.
*experimental function, to see it you need to activate the option in the settings.

First steps towards adding images
I’ve added a new page called Files where you can view your local files.
And of course you can view the images, because that’s what this page was created for.
To see it, you need to enable the “Show experimental features” option in the settings, on the application tab.
So far this is slow, but I hope I can optimize it.
Added:
- Career status, age and age at the end of the career on the meta cards and the meta card page.
- Sort by all simple type meta (number, date, rating).
- On the home page:
- Database migration system to the current version. It starts automatically when the application starts, if necessary.
- On first launch, a button appears to create the most popular tags, performers and websites.
Fixed:
- When adding meta from the clipboard, there were duplicate meta.
- On the home page:
- Graph with videos.
- On the meta card page:
- Dynamic data update after editing: rating, favorites, pictures.
Changed:
- The button for changing the sorting direction is placed separately.
- Playlists are opened in the system player, which is set by default for the .m3u format. If the “Play video in system player” option is enabled in the settings.
- On the meta card page:
- The color of the filling progress around the avatar on the profile is the same as the color of the card itself, if any.
- The header image is now behind a semi-transparent profile.
- If there is only an avatar image, then pictures from the highest rated videos that have this meta card are displayed behind the profile.
Added:
- In the meta settings, there is a dialog with a choice and a quick search by icon.
- Quick filter for meta cards by color.
- Ability to choose which folders to watch.
- Reassign the order of the meta in the navbar. Works only if the navbar is on the side.

- Dynamically updating the meta list.
- Filter by bookmarks for meta cards.
- Initializing the sorting state on the video page.
- The scraper would sometimes show empty values in fields that were already filled in.
- When adding a new playlist, sometimes videos from other playlists were added to it.
- When scraping the data, the image for the last card did not have time to be processed.
- Rating and favorites are displayed in the card description and for meta cards, if the corresponding option is selected.
Changed:
- The quick filter by the first letter combines the “symbol” and “number” buttons.
- Added separators in navbar.
- Removed setting for meta cards that allowed images to be disabled.
- On meta cards, the meta title tooltip has been replaced with a system tooltip to improve performance.
