What is Stash?

Stash is a free, open-source, self-hosted media organiser for your video library. It runs locally on your machine, lets you tag, organise and browse your collection, and connects to community databases for metadata. If you have a large video library, Stash is the best way to manage it — and our plugin brings your downloaded metadata straight into it.

🔌
Info JSON Importer
Stash Plugin — Python
Ready

The Info JSON Importer is a Stash plugin that reads the .info.json files saved by Video Fetcher and MetaFetch, and imports the metadata — titles, dates, descriptions, tags and studio — directly into your Stash library.

Once installed, it appears as a task inside Stash under Settings → Tasks → Plugins. Run it once to batch-import all your existing metadata, or run it any time you've downloaded new videos.
