Pornspective v2 and AI GPU Progess ...

Hi Guys, I'm concious I've not posted for a couple of weeks with progress on v2 and a general update. So here's an update ..

I've been putting a lot of time into v2 as you'd expect and I've completed the media player with support for images and imagesets. The player can now play both videos and images in your collection.

I then moved onto the biggest job which was to replace my admin screens i.e. adding tags, adding locations etc. The easist thing in the world to do was bring the ...

Pornspective v2 - Prototype 2

Hi Guys, as discussed in yesterdays post I'm uploading the next v2 prototype. This time it has some more items plumbed in. The Netflix style browsers are added and so too are the Choosers that appear at the bottom of the app. Finally there is a Cover view and Standard view available for results. (I just need to add ImagePanel in the future as that one is still missing).

I've not just copied any of these directly over, I've actually spent a lot of the week making them more efficient and ...

Pornspective v2 Progress ...

Hi Guys,

v2 is moving at pace so I've added some more screenshots of how its shaping up. Hope you like how it's looking, I'm starting to get really pleased with how the new WPF is allowing me to blend the application together and I'm confident it will bring all your collections to life with a super slick UI. 

Much of my focus is about making the application look great, but whilst I'm there I'm really streamlining the code behind the scenes to ensure this is faster than ever. ...

Pornspective AI Key

Hi Guys, just a quick message tonight. The Pornspective AI application has a built in key which will have expired. 

When you launch the tool it will ask you for a license key, this is not the same key as your main application key (that won't work).

You can use this key to update the license :-

GPU support for Pornspective AI

Hi Guys, this week I'll build up a GPU enabled version of Pornspective AI. If you'd like to volunteer to help test this then please drop me a message. Obviously you'll need to have a relatively new Nvidia GPU to help or though happy for you to try with any good GPU and let me know whether its faster. I'll make the installer a different id so you can install side by side and compare. From what I read, you should hopefully see AI detection increase by 8x the normal CPU rate, which would be awes...

Pornspective v2 - First Prototype

Hi Guys, I've been super busy on v2 this last few weeks and got all the foundations in place to start copying the functionality over from the main application. I've used the opportunity to get some things right which I wasn't happy with on v1. This included taking all of the main logic into the core library and away from the UI so that I can easily create an API service later on, it also includes slicker UI handling meaning a much faster and smooth interface. Whilst I was there I've added lan...

Progress Update on v2

Hi Guys. so as I've previously mentioned the reason I've done all of the hard work to move the application to .NET 5.0 is mainly so I can introduce a full WPF user interface. This essentially means a user interface where I can truly create the look and feel I want without being held back by old windows tech.

So this last week I've been working on the media player as this was the item I wanted to make sure I got right before spending more time on the everyday stuff. I'm taking the opport...

Pornspective 1.10.4

Well I wasn't expecting to test my new quick build process quite so soon however I did spot a minor annoying bug in 1.10.3 last night and one line of code has fixed it. I've built up therefore this version 1.10.4

Enjoy!

Pornspective 1.10.3 is here!

Hi Guys,

Its that time of the month again where I release another version for you. As you know I've been hard at work on v2 and have the application core libraries all moved over to .NET 5.0. Furthermore I've done this in a way in which I can continue to work on v1 alongside v2 and both benefit from any core functionality being added.

So as promised I'd keep the v1 moving whilst v2 is underway. This next release 1.10.3 is packed with enhancements and bug fixes which I've been aske...

And Pornspective.v2 is underway ...

Hi Guys, a bit of an update. So this week I've managed to move all of the core logic code to .NET 5.0 which is an open source and multiplatform code base. This is a pretty big step and looks like all of the code is working! Furthermore I've managed to do this whilst still maintaining the same code of v1. This means work on logic will benefit both v1 and v2 until v2 is polished enough to step into the shoes of the original.

The beauty of the new version will be WPF (Windows Presentation ...

Roadmap update

Hi guys, this week I've been focusing back on the main application. I've investigated a few areas that are part of the roadmap including :-

The ability for Pornspective and Pornspective AI to communicate across a network or locally on a PC. This is pretty straightforward and I've worked out how to do this. So this is one research area I've ticked off.

The next was to look at replacing the controls in the main app with WPF controls. WPF is a much faster User Interface tech than the...

Masterclass - Tags

I thought I'd do this as one of the first masterclasses. Tagging is the backbone of the application, good and effective tagging brings the best out of Pornspective. The application has lots of built in functions and performance routines all based around tagging so you should try to use it as fully as you can. Hence this masterclass!

First off, when you first begin to use Pornspective you'll have the option to start an empty system with only system generated tags or you can choose to hav...

Pornspective AI 1.0 is here!

Hi Guys, the testing went better than I expected and I guess most of the complex stuff was already tested in the earlier prototype. Pornspective AI is therefore here and ready for you to use.

I'm really happy with the release as underneath I've created a framework that will allow models to be swapped out and updated as the AI gets better and I've trained more. I've even got a few Patrons offering to train models too! So all this is heading in a great direction.

I've also made Porn...

Game changing Pornspective AI 1.0 coming this week

Hi Guys, some screenshots of the polished Pornspective AI coming your way this week. The application is done and ready, just need to do a bit more testing of the installer. Mainly added the bells and whistles to the prototype version I released in January.

This new version has a new AI model for more detections like hair colour, it also has a second layer of AI which determines the overall detection for a scene. The menus have been reorganised so that the whole application is easier to ...

Pornspective 1.10 is here ... and AI ready!

Hi guys, three days later than I expected but managed to add some additional fixes and ideas you have asked for before I released. Remember this version is mainly geared up ready to import Pornspective AI v1.0 results which I will release in a few days to compliment this release.

Version 1.10 still has lots packed into it though, check out below. I plan to focus again harder on the main app in the coming months so watch out for 1.11 and 1.12 which will have even more enhancements and fu...

Almost there with the next releases!

Hi Guys, It's the time of month again where I look to release the next version of the software. I normally aim for the 9th but this month I'm slightly behind as I'm looking to include some smaller last minute enhancements I received in the last week. Seems like lots of ideas have come flooding in during the last week or so. The ones that are easy to implement I'm throwing in right away. Because of this I'm around 3 days behind schedule.

You'll notice though I said plural - releases! Som...

100+ Patrons, cheers!

Hi guys, I've made the 100 patron mark over the weekend. It really didn't seem that long ago that I hit the 50 mark! Thank you for all your loyal support during the first 15 months of making Pornspective what it is today.

As you will note from my roadmap post, there's plenty more to come from Pornspective. I did set a goal to begin work on AI for the product as soon as I reached 100. However due to how much I enjoy creating Pornspective I started a while ago on the AI and it is very clo...

Roadmap Plans for Pornspective

Hi guys, as I mentioned in my last post I wanted to give you all an idea of where Pornspective is heading and the kind of features to expect. All helped by your generous and ongoing support.

My vision is the Pornspective becomes the Swiss-army knife for your precious collection that you've spent months and years building. A tool of many uses, whether this be automatic tagging and classification, rapid browsing and searching, searching online material or viewing content. Pornspective can...

Getting my Ducks in a row

Hi guys, just wanted to give you all an update on progress. I'm getting lots of messages from you all regarding the good work on the AI stream, thank you! It's really encouraging and a boost to know that many of you are truly excited by the AI work.  I'll therefore start with an update on AI. This week I've refactored the engine for this, essentially now I know it works, I've spent more time to tidy up the code and make it structured. When you first prototype something you don't waste ti...

Pornspective Masterclass

HI Guys,

It struck me this week that I'm now well into the fifteenth month of developing Pornspective. With releases generally every month I have packed in a lot of functionality during this period. Those who have been patrons since the early days will have gradually seen the features being added and hopefully tried them out each time I release. However there are many that have joined in the last four to six months that will have already jumped straight to a feature rich application. 2021-01-09 12:10:10 +0000 UTC View Post

Pornspective AI is here

Hi guys, a few of my volunteers have checked out the release and confirmed that the application works on their environments with no major issues. I'm now releasing this ground breaking application for you all to have a play with.

To be clear, this is a separate application to Pornspective allowing me to accelerate the AI functionality without breaking the main application and also allowing you try this out and give me feedback on how well you think it works. What it will do is allow you...

Pornspective AI : A Game Changer?

First of all Happy New Year to all my loyal and supporting Patrons! Thank you for your ongoing support on making Pornspective the application that is really out there in front leading the way!

I've been busy over the Christmas period working on the machine learning functionality which will eventually assist by automatically tagging your collection with appropriate tags. The next release will be a stand alone application called Pornspective AI. This is the start of me introducing true AI...

An Update on the AI Tagging Functionality

Hi guys, as you know in parallel to working on the core Pornspective application, I've got another stream of work with AI tagging. During the summer I created a basic Machine Learning model based on a selection of around 1000 images to train the algorithm. I chose something called YoloV5 as the basis of my model, this was based primarily on the fact that YoloV5 is pretty quick to train (around 3 hours).

I saw some good initial results from the model and using it in the conventional way...

Pornspective 1.9.1

It's that time of the month again guys, another Pornspective release to enjoy. It's been a pretty tough month having to cope with Covid-19 in the family but I'm pleased to say all is now well and I've still managed to get a good release out.

⦁ NEW FEATURE: Ability to now create your own Browser links on the left hand side bar. These allow the new Netflix style browser, or if you prefer a preset filter that can be applied to the classic view. The Netflix style browsers come in two opti...

More features for you!

Hi Guys, I've been a bit sidetracked this month due to Covid at home but please to say all is back to normal now. I've managed to get some new features packed into the next version 1.9.1.

The main change will be that you can now create your own browser views (the Netflix style views brought into 1.9.0). This means you can setup several views to suit your favourite and most common filtering i.e. My favourite skinny blondes, or my favourite european brunettes. The same goes for content, y...

Covid19 has hit my home

Hi guys, just an update that I might be slightly less timely in my responses to your messages at the moment. Unfortunately Covid19 has struck and a member of my family at home and has become quite ill. So far though I have no symptoms or illness.

It may take a day or so longer for me to respond to you. Thanks for the patience :)

Pornspective 1.9.0

It's here guys! Not sure I need to introduce it given my latest posts. All possible through your generous support. Now Enjoy!

Next version shaping up nicely

Hey guys, lots of work this week on the next version. I've implemented the Netflix style browsers for content, actresses and studios. From the screenshot you'll notice a new navigation bar down the left hand side, this nav bar will appear all the time and allow you to flick between the classic interface and the newer Netflix style browsers. All this is now implemented and I'm in the process of giving it a good test.

I've also added a logging view, you'll now see a full log of what the a...

Your collection as easy as Netflix

Hey guys, giving you a progress update on the next version! With all the underlying work done in 1.8, the next version will go into another a gear with the user interface and introduce a whole new way of browsing your collection. The original views will still be there but you can switch to a Netflix style view if you just want to browse.

The control I've created from scratch is using WPF which means a much slicker visual, including animations, slide ins/outs and fading when navigating. ...

IMPORTANT for those with large screens and high DPIs

Hi Guys, the latest version 1.8.1 goes a bit strange with large DPIs and can cause it fail to start after the initial icon has displayed. It's down to a bug where the screen is trying to resize before it's ready to. I've fixed the issue in 1.8.2 but want to spend a couple of more days just seeing if any other issues are raised before I release it.

The fix though can be done to 1.8.1 already by you guys. If you have hit this issue then simply right click the icon that launches Pornspecti...
