Anastylosis (n.): reassembling a ruin from its own scattered pieces, using original material wherever it can be found.
You have the file. That's the fragment.
The title, the performers, the studio, the release date, the subtitles, the knowledge that two files on your disk are the same scene — all of it existed somewhere, and most of it is still out there.
These tools go and find those pieces, and rebuild the whole thing around the file you already have.
| Project | The piece it recovers |
|---|---|
| FSS | The metadata itself. Every scene a studio has published — title, performers, date, description — scraped from the studio's own site, across 1,600+ of them. |
| Custodian | Identity. Which files are the same scene, which scene is missing its metadata, and what to do about it — safely. |
| MoanSubs | Subtitles that already exist. A database keyed by video fingerprint, so a subtitle reaches your copy even though your file differs from the one it was made for. |
| Scriptorium | Subtitles that don't exist yet. Transcription and translation for the scenes you mark, generated on your own hardware. |
| MSD | The material. Resolves album, folder, and creator URLs into files and fetches them concurrently, with resume. |
Self-hosted, offline-capable, and built to run against libraries you own.
Stash is the media manager these integrate with today. COVE support is planned, and more players after it. The pieces these tools recover belong to your library — not to whichever thing happens to be cataloguing it.
