Hi again,
The video I was trying to catalog was 401MB. The quality isn't the problem. Stuff from the amateur side just simply tends to be shorter than your regular movie, plus some older stuff is just barely in 1080p HD which can also factor into a smaller overall filesize. Yes, I worked around that issue myself by just taking a random Windows 10 ISO, renaming that to <movieID>.ts, let the catalog do it's thing and then plopping the converted smaller .mp4 into the folder. That also works just fine. This filesize thing isn't a huge issue or anything, I was just confused because I couldn't find anything in the documentation, hence my original question ^^' But now that I know it exists and works as intended, I can work around that.

Downloading stuff on the amateur side works flawlessly, just like it does on the regular movie side, absolutely no problems there. It's just the catalog feature that doesn't seem to do anything. As an example, this one:

<the-place>.com/videos/vod/amateur/detail/-/id=mssdx060/

Downloading this one is no problem:


But cataloging does nothing apart from moving the video into a new directory:


The ID as highlighted above should be fine, it perfectly matches both the URL to the movie, plus it's also listed as the Content ID, so it should be fine I think.

...but yeah, if you say that the catalog feature doesn't work with stuff from the amateur side then I know that I can stop trying. That already answers my question.

Sure, it would be fantastic if adding support for this section would be possible, but of course your patreon wishlist takes precedence, I understand, no problem ^^

Again, thanks for looking at this!

Ah, that makes sense. Since I never downloaded anything from that side, I never considered that videos would be significantly shorter than the adverage movie. Are they charging full price for less content? (-‸ლ)

And thanks for your understanding! Since I'm essentially just giving away my time for this project, I made a promise to myself that it would let it live and die based on donations. That way, its easy to tell when your sinking too much of your own time and money into something people no longer care about (^_^);

Nah, from what I can see they tend to be cheaper than full regular releases. Honestly, I didnt notice at first that they are coming from an entirely different category/side, which is why I now have a small number of movies that don't catalog properly ^^'

I see. I'm glad they're cheaper then. At least your getting  what you paid for. Though, it's funny that VR videos are still under the same system as regular movies. It seems like Amature videos are just the odd one out in this case.
