Can we filter searches by duration/movie length?

[LucidEye]

Hello, I don't know if this is the proper place to ask this, could not find any other places to contact the devs of this great addon...

Is there any way of filtering out all the short length clips when I search sites in VideoDevil? I am really not interested in all the 1-5 minute clips that seem to dominate any searches. I want to be able to filter out anything under 20 minutes, OR be able to display search results by longest clip first (length of clip in descending order)
If this is something I can modify in the code somewhere please let me know what it is, because I can not seem to find such a filter option anywhere in the GUI or addon settings.

Thank you.

This feature request will only be implemented if someone volunteers to do so. I have no interest in implementing this.

This depends on the site, some sites provide Sorting based on Longest, most viewd, etc. Cannot be done on all sites. AFAIK It has been done where possible

Well, I wouldn't know seeing as how the addon stops working every few days, and then I have to install the update, which stops working in a few days. Pretty much all the major sites now have filtering by duration, would someone please tell me exactly how to setup this filtering in the addon... I can't seem to find those controls anywhere. -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 1/8/19, gujal <notifications@github.com> wrote: Subject: Re: [xbmc-adult/xbmc-adult] Can we filter searches by duration/movie length?

Beware: I didn't try this and it might not even work at all.

I can totally relate to you, when I want to fap in peace away from the world I experiment the same annoyance as you, all the sites are full of spam-bot videos of 10 seconds or less, is really infuriating!
For that sole reason I wrote this code for you, it should probably work but I didn't test it, actually to say the truth I wrote it on my cellphone in the bathroom, so no warranties of anything.

STEPS

• open the videodevil.py file

• search for this "elif m_type.find('video') != -1:"

• delete the elif statement and replace it with this:

remember to edit this at your convenience, I set it to more than 5 minutes , but you can set it to whatever you want, just modify the value after:
#specify in minutes the minimum length

                elif m_type.find('video') != -1:
                    #specify in minutes the minimum length
                    minlength = 3
                    #don't touch anything else
                    videoLength = re.search('\(([^()]*)\)$', m_title)
                    if(videoLength is not None):
                        videoLength = videoLength.group(1)
                        videoLength = videoLength.split(":")
                    
                        if(int(len(videoLength))>2 or int(videoLength[0])>=minlength):
                            self.addListItem(m_title,
                                            self.currentlist.codeUrl(m, 'videodevil'),
                                            m_icon,
                                            len(self.currentlist.items),
                                            m)
                    else:
                        self.addListItem(m_title,
                                            self.currentlist.codeUrl(m, 'videodevil'),
                                            m_icon,
                                            len(self.currentlist.items),
                                            m)

Let me know if it works, if so thanks me latter and happy fapping!

EDIT

I tried it and it seems to work OK, I also added an option to set the minimum length to a desired value instead of having it hardcoded in the source.

It looks like this:
