Has anyone seen something along these lines for very innocent "G" rated family videos?
I recently went through a major VHS digitization project and it would be amazing to have something of this quality to host them.
I haven't looked closely at the project enough yet to see if this could easily be adapted. I'm concerned that the adult content focus around performers and acts might make it hard to adapt.
I would think you could adapt most of it. 'Performers' just becomes 'People'. And 'Scenes' are still that, just different sets of keywords. I think the harder part is just getting all the data tagged properly.
In principle anything -- it's a very no-frills scraper and tagger with per-video bookmarking capabilities. Also, the codebase is very...well engineered.
I mean this with sincere compassion please seek help. this is the wrong path. No judgement – we all suffer, get tempted by this. It should not be promoted.
I'd like to suggest Hydrus Network as a possible alternative to this, as it's also open source and written in Python: https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/
Of course, just not limited to porn and it can be used to classify/sort all kinds of audiovisual media, although its video/audio support is a tad lacking and it doesn't do so well with sequential art (You can still tag pages/chapters and have them somewhat ordered, but for instance it won't visualize CBZ archives)

Edit: Someone else mentioned Jellyfin, which is a great free option.
Although it also reminds me of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24839848 where he discusses his solution to digitizing and hosting the videos. He used Mediagoblin.
What is appealing about Stash though is that there's nothing to teach the user about. Point them to the URL and away they go as if it were YouTube.
I'll take a closer look at Jellyfin though. Thanks!
Also, there's no reason it has to be for porn. It's a video organiser.
