Why can I seemingly no longer edit purchased video titles?

As of some time in the past couple months, it seems I cannot edit the title of a purchased video to my liking. I also seem not to be able to make a video appear on my Favorites list, even when adding the tag @favorite. Even just in regard to no longer being able to edit video titles - if that is indeed the reality now - how is that progress in any way shape or form? Or am I overlooking something totally simple. :)

Editing a video title in Library, worked for me this morning. I've no idea how to add or remove favourites. Maybe ask in support forum?

Works for me as well.
But down thing with it is after editing title it is much less searchable in pornbox. :(
I asked about it already many times, it got a bit better, but still pretty weak. Do you have a tech solution for this problem, Avan?

Sorry, no. I never use the Library except to re-download occasionally. I just looked at the edit function because the OP asked about it.
I guess if you edit the title of a video in your library, you're on your own searching for it.
I think the only way Pornbox could enable what you want is to make searchable from within the Library screen the "edited title" field in the user-specific database table(s) , but I don't know how easy that is to achieve.

Thanks, Avan!

How could something like this on my own resources work?

What are your own resources?

I'm not clear what you want to achieve.

If you just want to search in your Pornbox library, it's probably more productive to try to persuade Pornbox staff to enable website users to search on their "edited title" field.

If you want to search using your own laptop(s), you need to maintain a list of all your scenes locally on your own laptop or in some cloud app like Google Docs, and keep it up to date. This is not a trivial task and it duplicates the information already held by Pornbox so you might not want to do this. Again, it might be more productive to use your contacts and ask staff to provide you with a listing of all the scenes in your own Pornbox library to get you started.

I would have to go one by one and manually make that list, so that's a no. :p
It all depends on what view of pornbox you have.

If you have the tiles (the last one) you will not be able to change the name. You can just add a tag (which you can search for with @tag)
If you have the view with text, you can actually edit the name of the scenes.

Well I was thinking it would require only a simple database query behind the scenes, but maybe we are talking about different things.

Probably some fancy web scraping software could do the job of getting a Library listing out of the customer-visible side of Pornbox, but I'm too lazy and incompetent to learn how to do that.

This is what I did.
But can I also search this partly new title with own descriptions written into name of scene now?
Seems not. :( :confused:
