Collection Overview
This is an updated version of the English Hentai Complete Collection. I have added more shows and episodes, especially newer releases that were missing in the previous version. I have also improved the quality of some files and added more metadata for better organization in media managers like Plex and AniTag.
Updates
I have added all new releases from Abysswalker including the older BDMV versions. BDMV's have been converted to MKV format, split into each episode and subtitles have been re-synced. Also, updated other shows with better quality and soft sub alternatives.
Syncing with previous version
Make sure to disable Scan my library automatically and Run a partial scan when changes are detected settings in Plex before adding this new version of the collection.
If you already have the previous version of the collection from here, simply point this torrent to the same folder but do not start it immediately. Recheck existing files first and then remove any files that are marked as missing but you already have. After that, start the torrent and it will only download the new files that are not in your collection yet. This way you can keep all the existing files and metadata in Plex and AniTag intact while adding new releases to your collection. Once the torrent is complete, scan the library in Plex to add the new files to the library.
Organization
Someone mentioned to add video quality info, I like to keep file names clean, so instead I have included folders-info.json file containing all the info about video, audio and subtitles for all files in the collection. I have also added Scripts in the Helpers.zip to reconstruct the info file and also included a Plex script plex-metadata-updater.py to update the metadata in Plex for unmatched shows, since Plex doesn't add local posters and metadata for unmatched shows automatically. More instructions further down.
File Labels
Some files in the collection are labeled as (RAW) for episodes that currently do not have subtitles available, typically for newer releases. Previews are marked as (Preview). Removed previews for older releases since they are now available in the collection.
AniDB and AniTag Integration
The helper files have been updated for new releases. Just copy the new files to their respective locations.
Seeding
I will try to seed this collection as much as possible, but I will definitely need help from the community to keep it alive. So please Seed it if you can!
Scripts
plex-metadata-updater.py: A Python 3 script to update the metadata in Plex for unmatched shows. It updates, shows and seasons' titles, posters, fanart and banners. It also adds collection tags based on folder name prefixes. Make sure to set your Plex token in the script before running it by following these steps. In order to run the script, first install the required dependencies using pip install plexapi and then run the script using python plex-metadata-updater.py. It will perform a dry-run to show you the changes that will be made, and if everything looks good, you can run it again with python plex-metadata-updater.py --apply flag to apply the changes.
file-info.js: A Node.js script to reconstruct the folders-info.json file. It reads all the files in the collection and updates the info file with the latest video, audio and subtitle info. To run the script, first install ffmpeg and make sure ffprobe is available in your system's PATH as a cli command. Then run the script using node file-info.js {root-folder-here}. It will update the folders-info.json file with the latest info for all files in the collection.
