Identify

The Identify task iterates through your Scenes and attempts to identify them using a selection of scraping sources. If a result is found in a source, the Scene is updated, and no further sources are checked for that scene.

This task is part of the advanced settings mode.

Rules

  • The task accepts one or more scraper sources, including stash-box instances and scene scrapers that support scraping via Scene Fragment. The order of the sources can be rearranged.
  • The task iterates through the scraper sources in the provided order.
  • If a result is found in a source, the Scene is updated, and further sources are not checked for that scene.

Organized flag

Scenes that have the Organized flag added to them will not be modified by Identify. You can also use Organized flag status as a filter.

Options

The following options can be configured:

Option Description
Include male performers If false, male performers will not be created or set on scenes.
Set cover images If false, scene cover images will not be modified.
Set organized flag If true, the organized flag is set to true when a scene is organized.
Skip matches that have more than one result If this is not enabled and more than one result is returned, one will be randomly chosen to match
Tag skipped matches with If the above option is set and a scene is skipped, this will add the tag so that you can filter for it in the Scene Tagger view and choose the correct match by hand
Skip single name performers with no disambiguation If this is not enabled, performers that are often generic like Samantha or Olga will be matched
Tag skipped performers with If the above option is set and a performer is skipped, this will add the tag so that you can filter for it in the Scene Tagger view and choose how you want to handle those performers

Field specific options

Each field may have a strategy. The behavior for each strategy is as follows:

Strategy Description
Ignore The field is not set.
Overwrite Existing values are overwritten.
Merge (default) For multi-value fields, adds to existing values. For single-value fields, only sets if not already set.

For Studio, Performers, and Tags, an option is available to Create Missing Objects. This is enabled by default. When true, if a Studio/Performer/Tag is included during the identification process and does not exist in the system, it will be created.
