Mark videos as "Not interested"

jambavant

While trying to find new videos in the library, I keep stumbling again on videos I've seen but I'm not interested in (usually because the male orgasm is standing up instead of lying down). It makes it ever harder to find new videos.
It would be great to be able to flag those videos as "Not interested" and have a toggle option just like the "Show JAV" so that I can remove those videos from search results, so they don't pollute search results.

Here's my ideal process to explore the library:

Find videos (by search, by tags...)
Preview video (thumbnails or skipping through)
Flag as "Save to watch later" or "Not interested"

jambavant The closest option that we have is the "Hide" feature, where you can hide individual videos or studios that you're not interested in (by clicking on the 3 dots below the video and selecting to hide it or the studio that released it).

I know that we've discussed a toggle to turn on/off all hidden videos & studios, which sounds like it would be just about what you're looking for with the "Not interested" toggle, though at the moment this isn't a priority for the Dev team. Not to say it won't happen in the future.

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, the “hide” option with a toggle would be great.
For now, I’ll use a userscript to implement that functionality client side.

So I found some time to write the userscript, and it works pretty ok. I combined my two requests (Flagging "not interested" and tagging Male orgasm position) into one script.
I have a little dropdown next to each video with 4 options (unknown, standing, sitting, laying-down). Toggling the dropdown automatically adds the video to one of 3 playlists.
If "unknown", I have not tagged the video yet, else it's either "in watch later" or that means I'm not interested.

@justsomedude101 Here's some feedback after a few days of using my custom script, which helped me refine what I was looking for, and I'm so happy with the setup. (screenshots below)

The requirement

As an end-user, I want to quickly identify videos I have never seen, efficiently go through the SLR library and annotate videos to curate my "Watch Later" playlist. My personal preference is videos where the female makes the guy cum on his back, others may want to classify on different criteria.

The solution

Open a video, preview the cumshot(s), and classify into 5 playlists:
- standing (nope)
- sitting (meh)
- lying down (yay)
- no-orgasm (striptease or non-pov)
- multiple (compilation, interactive...)
When browsing lists of videos (tags, search, playlists...), a tampermonkey script will call "getList" and retrieve playlists. It will then add a visual icon next to the "watch later" button for each video, indicating which playlist it is in.
The script also injects a "Toggle Video Visibility" button: when you click on it, it changes the article.style.display to "none" for all articles that have a classification icon, therefore hiding videos I have already reviewed. This makes it much more efficient to see videos I have not reviewed yet.

Some thoughts

POV male orgasm position is sometimes a little tricky:
- Standing vs Kneeling: does it matter if the guy is standing on the ground or kneeling on a bed? I put both in the same category
- Angles of sitting vs lying down: sometimes the guy is lying down on a couch, his legs reclined. Is it sitting or standing? Sometimes he's half-sitting in a bed. I don't care too much, and just pick sitting or lying down without too much thinking.
The "getList" calls retrieves all videos for all playlists. Will there be a performance penalty at some point?
The script works beautifully, minus one caveat: pagination ignores my classification and videos are regularly shuffled around. Therefore it still requires browsing through half-reviewed pages. It could be more efficient, but it doesn't waste too much time. Also, it's not possible to use playlists in search results (e.g. combine playlists and tags)

Conclusion

I was getting really frustrated with the inefficiency of exploring videos at random and stumbling on the same videos again and again. I'm now super happy that I have a method for exploring all the catalog very efficiently. It feels GOOD!
After hundreds of classified videos, I've found that VRedging was by far my favorite studio, they make up about 50% of the videos I've kept to watch later.
I'm happy to share additional details whether for SLR developers or SLR users that would like to get the script or playlists.

Awesome stuff here to make the searching work better for you! I've not used tampermonkey before, but going to check it out.

Would you be willing to share your script so I have a place to start from? Seems like what you have is pretty close to what I would want to do as well.

Happy that you find it useful! 😀You can download tampermonkey/greasemonkey as a browser extension on all browsers: https://greasyfork.org/en
Then you can download my script on: https://sleazyfork.org/en/scripts/487111-slr-video-review-icons
⚠️Tampermonkey executes code on your browser, which means you should not install dubious code without reviewing it first. The code I wrote is safe to run, but I can only give my word. If a kind soul can review the code and vouch for it, that would be great.

Right now, this is a stupidly simple script with 5 hardcoded playlists matching 5 svg icons: "standing", "sitting", "lying-down", "no-orgasm" and "multiple". You need to have playlists with titles matching exactly those.
But if you want to change the playlists names/icons, you just have to change the name/svg icons in the script. In a future iteration, I may add a configuration panel to create additional categories without having to edit the code directly.

If you want a custom version, let me know which categories you want and I can edit for you.

Another interesting snippet to explore how far I am with reviewing all videos with a script. You just have to paste this in the console (F12, devtools) and execute. It provides a count of videos by playlist.

fetch(`https://www.sexlikereal.com/ajax_playlists/getList?project_id=${globalObj.projectId}&user_id=${globalObj.userId}`)
  .then(response => response.json()) // Assuming the response is JSON
  .then(result => result.list.forEach(playlist => {
    console.log(`${playlist.title}: ${playlist.scenes.length}`)    
  }))
  .catch(error => console.error('Error:', error));

Watch later: 216
watch-deselected: 2
no-pov-to-watch: 4
multiple: 1
no-orgasm: 242
lying-down: 478
sitting: 143
standing: 364
below: 3

This is great thank you! Could you do a simpler quick version where you just put liked videos into a playlist and unliked into another and need script and show only liked/uncathegorized, liked, uncathegorized, script needed? That would be a cool solution for most of us. Just a yes/no script needed. Will try to do myself but for you it takes a second I guess to make it.

jambavant

Sure, here you go: https://sleazyfork.org/en/scripts/489016-slr-not-interested/code
It adds a thumb down next to the "watch later" icon, and clicking it adds/remove the scene from a "not-interested" playlist (you need to create this playlist first, using the name "not-interested").

derhansi

This is awesome thank you and it works like a charm. Now I just realized there is a "hide this video" in the contect menu. Never saw it, maybe its new. Not sure if its better to use that with your thumbs down instead of the not-interested Playlist. Max number of videos in playlist for example how many can there be. Maybe you could make a version where your thumbs down activates the SLR hide so we dont have to go into the contect menu? But I dont want to get on your nerves. Thank you again.

jambavant

I've updated the script. If you installed from sleazyfork, you should get the update automatically.
It now uses the "hide video" feature.

derhansi

Thank you a lot, this is what SLR should harcode.

Tried on start page and wanted to add first vide and says "Something went wrong when adding"
Browser is Safari will try on Chrome later on PC.

Yes works fine on Chrome and PC but errors in Safari.

Classification is super fast with the Jambavant script. Really recommended.

jambavant

Sadly I have no way to test with Safari, not sure what's wrong with it.
The message "Something went wrong when adding" is triggered if the API doesn't answer {"status": true}. But I have no clue why it wouldn't work on Safari.

Glad it's working on chrome for you.

derhansi

Yes Chrome is enough, thanks again, extremely helpful script and I wonder what makes it so hard for SLR to put an icon there.
