Stash Compatibility

The Stash community maintains hundreds of YAML-defined site scrapers — battle-tested metadata sources for the long tail of sites that mainstream providers don't cover. Prismedia can wrap those community scrapers and run them as identify providers, so you don't have to rewrite them.

This is the extent of Prismedia's Stash interop today: Prismedia owns its own schema and identify model, and Stash scrapers feed into it like any other plugin. (Prismedia does not act as a Stash server, and StashBox fingerprint endpoints are not part of the current feature set.)

What you get​

  • Browse and install scrapers from Plugins → Stash Community.
  • Identify videos by URL or by name, and map scraped scenes — title, date, studio, performers, director, tags, and cover art — into Prismedia.
  • Credited performers and the studio are proposed as reviewable cards, with their posters and bios pulled from the scraper's performer/studio lookups.

The wrapped scrapers appear in the same Identify provider picker as native plugins, and their results review and accept in the same cascade flow. See Identify & Metadata.

Installing community scrapers​

  1. Open Plugins → Stash Community.
  2. Find the scraper for the site you want (the catalog mirrors the upstream community repo; Python-backed scrapers are included).
  3. Install it. Prismedia wraps it with a plugin manifest and registers it.

You can also side-load a scraper you've packaged yourself — see Stash Compatibility for plugin authors for the wrapper format and the action mapping (videoByURL → sceneByURL, and so on).

NSFW handling​

Stash scrapers are treated as always NSFW: every entity they create or touch is marked NSFW, and the scrapers themselves are hidden from the Plugins page, the Auto Identify picker, and the identify provider options while you browse in SFW mode. Reveal NSFW content (or use an NSFW Jellyfin profile) to use them.

Limitations​

The wrapper runs the standard Stash YAML scraper pipeline (HTTP + regex/xpath, including the supported scene/performer/studio/gallery/movie actions). Stash features that depend on a Stash-specific JavaScript runtime, or Stash UI integrations, do not translate. Prismedia's own cascade actions (series/folder cascades) are not part of the Stash protocol. If a scraper needs those, it has to be ported to a native TypeScript or Python plugin.
