slive777/OpenAver

Free open-source desktop app that scrapes JAV metadata and generates NFO + cover art for Jellyfin, Emby & Kodi. No Docker, no CLI — one-click install on Windows & macOS. 8 built-in sources + optional Metatube federation (30+ providers), actress collections, cross-language tag aliases, and a REST API for AI agents.

What it solves

OpenAver is a desktop application that acts as a local metadata scraper and media library manager for JAV (Japanese Adult Video) collections. It solves the problem of disorganized media folders by automatically fetching metadata, covers, and actress information, and organizing them into a visual, searchable library without requiring users to move or delete their original video files.

How it works

It runs entirely locally on Windows or macOS. You point the application to your video folders, and it scans for existing metadata (NFO files) and covers. If information is missing, it uses built-in scrapers (supporting 8 default sources, with up to 30+ via Metatube) to fetch details. It provides a web-based GUI for browsing your collection via a cover-wall, filtering by actress, tag, or studio, and generating insights. It also exposes a REST API that allows AI agents (like Claude Code or Cursor) to programmatically organize or query your library.

Who it’s for

This tool is for collectors who want a polished, visual interface for their local media library without relying on cloud services or complex server setups like Docker. It is particularly useful for users who already have collections managed by other tools (like Jellyfin or Emby) and want to enhance their metadata or browsing experience without disrupting their existing file structure.

Highlights

  • Zero-config installation: Runs as a standard desktop app on Windows and macOS with no Docker or command-line expertise required.
  • Non-destructive: Scans existing folders without moving or deleting files; only adds metadata files and covers.
  • AI-Ready API: Includes a self-describing REST API that allows AI agents to perform library management tasks via natural language instructions.
  • Comprehensive Browsing: Features a visual cover-wall, actress-centric organization (with age/height/cup size sorting), and library analytics dashboards.
  • Flexible Integration: Can export metadata for use in Jellyfin, Emby, or Kodi, and supports read-only modes for NAS or cloud-mounted drives.
