Media subscriptions
Media subscriptions let you automatically download content from your favorite sources on a schedule. Think of it as an RSS feed for videos — set it up once, and Gero keeps your library fresh.
Supported sources
Gero automatically detects the source type from the URL you provide:
| Source | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
| RedGifs | Animated clips | Category or user pages |
| PornHub | Full videos | Channel or category pages |
| Shorts.XXX | Short-form video | Channel shorts feed |
More sources may be added in future updates.
Scheduling
Each subscription can run on its own schedule:
| Schedule | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Manual | Only runs when you trigger it |
| Hourly | Checks every hour |
| Daily | Checks once per day |
| Weekly | Checks once per week |
| Monthly | Checks once per month |
You can enable or disable individual subscriptions without deleting them.
How it works
- Create a subscription — Paste a source URL and pick a schedule
- Gero detects the type — The source type is determined automatically from the URL
- On each run — Gero fetches new content from the source (up to a configurable limit per run, default: 250)
- Each video is processed — Every downloaded video goes through the full import pipeline
- Tags and actors are linked — Auto-tagging extracts metadata from the source and matches against your existing tags
- History is logged — Every run is tracked so you can see what was imported and when
Configuration options
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| URL | The source page to fetch from |
| Schedule | How often to check for new content |
| Is enabled | Toggle on/off without deleting |
| Max videos per run | Limit how many videos to download per execution (default: 250) |
| Tags | Tags to automatically apply to all imported videos |
| Actors | Filter by specific actors |
Auto-tagging
You can link tags to a subscription. When Gero imports a video through that subscription, those tags are automatically applied in addition to any tags extracted from the source itself.
This is useful for categorizing content by subscription. For example, a subscription to a specific RedGifs category could auto-apply a "favorites" tag.
History
Every subscription run is logged with:
- When it ran
- How many videos were imported
- Success or failure status
This gives you full visibility into what's being added to your library and when.
