What are your essential plugin recommendations?

I don’t often keep up with what plugins are doing, so I feel a little out of the loop. I thought this would be a good topic of discussion.

What plugins would you recommend to new users?

What would you recommend for users like me that haven’t really delved?

Or just share your favourite plugins. :upside_down_face:

All my plugins are dogfooded, but there’s a few that I deem necessary for any stash install, even if just for temporary development

log-console so I don’t need to keep on going back to the logs page and can just hit F12 for a quick overview
rebrand because I have too many stash installs
QxSceneCard, I’ve gotten too used to the look of it :sweat_smile:
useragent for quickly debugging/ updating scrapers

I like Scene Marker Tags to Scene because I create lots of markers and its nice to automatically tag the scene too for future searches.

I don’t use a lot of plugins but I consider Stash Notifications to be an absolute must to keep my scrapers updated across all of my instances :grin:

I also use Scene Marker Tags to Scene and Stash Notifications. Here are some other essential ones for me:

  • Select sort alphabetically: Not an official plugin as such, but WithoutPants made this back in the day to retain the functionality of sorting tags alphabetically in the selection windows. It’s absolutely essential to me as I have a ton of tags for scraping purposes, but I use leading whitespaces to bring to the top the ones I actually use when manually tagging scenes.
  • renamerOnUpdate: It’s not perfect, but it’s very versatile and works well enough for my purposes. Absolutely essential for me.
  • 7djx1qp’s various plugins related to tagger, maybe Stash Batch Result Toggle as a highlight. It’s very useful since I often want to scrape against both StashDB and TPDB, but when I scrape against TPDB I don’t want to update certain fields, so with this plugin I can ensure the those fields are untouched.
  • The Porn DB Markers: Not quite essential, but this is the easiest way to get studio markers to my Stash.
  • VideoScrollWheel: I don’t know how I’ve managed without this - it’s just so handy to be able to both adjust the volume and seek the video with just the mouse wheel.
  • Tag Scenes From Performer Tags: Makes manual tagging much easier since I can tag the performers with certain tags that typically don’t change from scene to scene (ethnicity, breast size, height, etc.). Yes, this information is available in some way in performer fields, but I’ve found that it’s easier to maintain my system in scene tags and filter scenes that way.

Other nice-to-have plugins:

  • Tagger-img-res: Nice to have the scene cover resolution available in tagger view.
  • Overlay-info: Having the codec visible on the scene card is very useful since I like to transcode my videos.

I do find some of the plugins that I’ve created to be pretty essential for me personally, but I do recognize that some of them are pretty niche.

In my opinion, the most essential plugins are also the one’s I’ve been using the longest: 7dJx1qP’s Stash Plugins. Unfortunately the creator has largely stopped maintaining them, so there are some issue fixes you’ll need to merge in yourself.

7dJx1qP’s plugins are great but it’s hard to recommend them after they’ve been abandoned almost immediately and almost all of them are going to break in v0.29 :frowning:

  • External Links Enhanced - Just give more icons on the performer page
  • Extra Performer Info - add adult industry awards as custom fields and performer tags
  • Misc Tags Add group makeup tags eg Foursome (BBBG) if there is there is the Foursome tag and tags for stash-vr-companion
  • Stash Performer Image Cropper Useful for cropping images, useful if there is no profile image you can start with a screenshot and crop the image and at least get something usable
  • Stash Notifications notify when scrapers / plugins need updating.
  • Timestamp Trade because it’s my database of markers and other info
  • Funscript Markers I’m using FunGen that uses object detection in the video to track moving body parts and generate a funscript and this can guess the sex position and create markers.
  • Stashdb performer gallery Automatically download images and create a gallery of images from stashdb and other stash boxes. The workflow is add the stashid from stashdb, pmvstash, fansdb etc, add the [Stashbox Performer Gallery] to the performer, wait for it to downlad the images and then review the images and tag an image with [Set Profile Image]
