If I find the time before my travel-month, I will try... could save a lot of work.
I am only not sure if I am able to explain all the differences I use for work.
E. g. in profiler I have a multi-movie-bluray kind of "Gruselfilme" with 12 movies on it. I have childs for every single movie. But in excel, the parent is in another column. The same as I do full seasons (if not complete series) as only 1 line in excel, but the number of profiles for a season/series in profiler is much different.
Thanks for this idea. I will need to find out how fast Claude is able to learn what I want from this AI ;-) | Posted: Topic Replies: 17, Topic Views: 4605 |  | I got the tags with the ProfilerQuery. And after checking something like 3.000 lines I am allready stuck.
Next month I got my annual street-market-tour (something like more than 20 of them within one month), so I think I will wait until then before I start searching for the mistakes I have done | Posted: Topic Replies: 17, Topic Views: 4605 | | My System works quite well - until I do anything wrong. And within the last couple of months I got SO MANY new discs or created childs for every single movie of a multi-movie-disc (found some more I didn't yet during my check^^), that obviously this way I did something wrong. The mistake(s) themselves are not the problem, the size of my collection probably is...^^
So actually the plan is to end up collecting by the end of this year. I hope to get all the stuff from my wishlist and then I am simply done.... (at least I hope so...^^) | Posted: Topic Replies: 17, Topic Views: 4605 | | It depends on kind of the childs, if the count is 0 or 1:
If it is a box set (like season of a tv series), then the box itself has 0, and each child/disc has 1
If it is a multi-movie-disc (3 or more movies on 1 disc), then the parent (the disc) has 1, and each child zero.
"Anyhwere!" in my collection I set some wrong counts. Now I need/want to find out, where this is.
At least, that there is the same number of discs in Excel and profiler.
Hell of a job by the size of my collection, but I "simply" want both listings correct.
As I could export tags as well with ProfilerQuery, it might be easier for a direct comparsion of the entries/counts of this-and-that shelf. I hope I only need to care about the ones with actual differences. But maybe there are more which cause differences in other shelfes. I will see. Hopefully I am done within the next few weeks...^^ | Posted: Topic Replies: 17, Topic Views: 4605 | | Well, that count does not make so much sense in this case. Especially as I have hundreds of profiles with a zero count. But at least I found a way to export to csv with ProfilerQuery. No chance to get my tags, but maybe this now helps to finde the mistake(s). I am curious how long it is going to last until there is the same number of discs in both, excel and profiler...^^
It will be hard work now to control an Excel-File with more than 67.000 lines....^^ | Posted: Topic Replies: 17, Topic Views: 4605 | | The idea with the report also was mine. The only problem is that there is no chance to get the "count as" into the report. At least I can't find it in all fields available for reports.
Concerning parents/childs I count them different in Excel and profiler: In Excel I "only" enter the full season with the number of discs. The season-profile in profiler has a zero-count but a 1-count for every single child.
And if it is kind of a "multi movie disc", then only the parent has a count, all childs are counted zero. Here I put the "1" in Excel for the very first movie of this disc.
Concerning collection numbers: I don't add them in Excel as I re-arrange them in profiler each time I add new discs. It is easier for me this way. But so the alphabetical order is identic with the numbers.
I don't know if there is anything I haven't tried yet to find out the mistake(s). So far at least - by control by shelf - I had to enter 1 disc into Excel which was only on profiler (no idea how that happend), but this way the differences of 5 other shelfs are still remaining. | Posted: Topic Replies: 17, Topic Views: 4605 | | First of all: I count the number of my discs twice. Once in Profiler, once parallel in Excel. The only chance for me to control, if I have forgotten to add a title or even more.
Well, sometimes I have differences. And even if it is only one (sometimes one more in profiler, sometimes in Excel), it is a lot of work to control. In the past I checked the counts of the whole collection, what I usually have to spend at least a whole week for. As I actually have 3 discs more in Excel, I decided to make the control easier. At least I thought so. My collection is stored on several different shelfes, and so I added tags to each profile for the shelfes. Checking the number of counts then - at least I thought so - will be easier, as then I only have to control the profiles of this or that shelf. The first shock I got was that there are differences now in 6 shelfes (of totally 37). Twice there is one disc more in profiler, the others have less there.
But meanwhile I have problems in believing: I filtered Excel with only that shelf and did the same in profiler. I coloured all in Excel, and when I found them in profiler, I tagged them there and uncoloured them in Excel. This way it should happen, that the missing one(s) not yet in profiler should remain coloured in Excel. But as I meanwhile did it twice with the same number of profiles and the counts are entered exactly the same in profiler as in Excel, I am simply not able to understand where the difference of two discs come from.
Is there known anything that profiler sometimes "counts" the wrong way? What I mean: 1000 profiles, each with "count as 1", is it possible that then the sum says "filtered 998"? It is possible that I didn't check totally correct if the numbers are the same, but doing the same thing wrong twice is hard to believe.
And: If there IS that kind of a technical issue, then - at least in theory - there could be all discs in profiler, but the sum is not correct.
I only can hope that this is not too complicated to be understood...
Any ideas?
PS: My alternate idea was to create a report for direct comparsion of profiler and Excel - but I can export neighter the counts nor the tags. So if anybody is able to create kind of a report out of the xml (as far as the tags are inside there?) this could be anpther chance to find out what's wrong... | Posted: Topic Replies: 17, Topic Views: 4605 | | The titles are sorted correctly. It is the way to get correct access. Maybe for a better understanding - if you haven't done the same I try to do - try it yourself:
Click on any profile in the list (not opening it) and then type the first few letters of any other title. At least in theory then you should reach the first one with those letters... but that doesn't work... | Posted: Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 1180 | | Didn't know a better title for my problem and it is difficult to describe.
I am in the profile list, trying to flag this and that profile. The list is sorted alphabetic, and the fastest way at least should be to type the first few letters of the profile I want to reach.
This works only sometimes. And the confusing functionality all the times it doesn't work is too much for my understanding.
Like mentioned, the list is alphabetically. Okay, I am at the top, typing the first few letters, e. g. "Ein...", but instead that I reach the first profile downworth starting with those letters, I reach a child profile hundreds of profiles below.
It also happens quite often, that parent- and childprofile have at least the same beginning. And it is difficult to understand why I reach the child profile by typing, but not the parent profile.
I use this method as I have to do a lot of work. Sure, I always could use the search field and enter something there, but just imagine if you want to flag 1.000 profiles and have to use the search term for each and then have to delete the field... well, that costs a lot of time.
Additionally I search for the parent profile and have to flag the childprofiles also, which I don't find that way if they have different titles.
So the alphabetically list and typing the letters there at least should be the fastest method - but so often it doesn't work. I am at the top, type the letters of someting e. g. line 20 or 30 - and end anywhere line 678.
Could anybody explain me the reason for that and if there is a chance to correct/avoid this?
Thankx for support! | Posted: Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 1180 | | I totally agree! German releases in Germany usually show the German speakers at the end (standard German settings). And only if any other language is chosen, they are not shown.
But the influence of this rule/law, established in 2018, totally confuses the common name-aspect.
My listed example "Thomas Nero Wolff" was the best idea I could have. Altough so far no common name was chosen for him, for a long long time there were no misspellings and only a very few times he had a different writing.
But while typing the voice actors for the series "Criminal Minds", I had to find out, that he is written wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME: "Thomas Nero Wolf". So far I am only through the first 6 seasons (some technical problems), but they have 138 episodes. Starting at season 7, a different voice actor does that role, so Wolff is off. But this is just one example. (Same series "Tanja Geke" so far always was spelled wrong as "Tanje Geke", an she went on for more than 300 episodes - what would possibly change her common name to the wrong spelling)
So is there a chance to redefine the rules for common names if it is about voice actors? I can't count the misspellings anymore, and as soon as a common name would be defined, it might be neccessary to change it because of them. | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 2468 | | Thtat's why I was talking about Germany as I don't know how this works in different countries.
But "at any time" is still vague: If I insert a German release but choose English language, they are not shown (why should they as they are not heard).
And I'd like to say that it was easier for the producers to show the speakers with an extra clip than to add them to the film/episode itself where it only makes sence if German language is chosen.
Did you ever see the speakers in 20+ languages ALWAYS shown at the end of something from Netflix? | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 2468 | | No doubt about, the common names have been a good invention to kind of "unify" several spellings of a name.
I know that most of you are not interested in adding data for the voice actors, especially if this language doesn't matter for you (or isn't even available on your release).
Well, like a lot of countries around the world Germany imports countless movies and series fron anywhere and synchronizes them with voice actors.
For a long long time we only heard their voices, never knowing the names of the speakers, but in (as far as I could find out) 2018 there was introduced kind of a new rule, that those voice actors also have to be listed on every single release. In case of German language, there are credits after the end credits if the German language is chosen in the menu.
In my opinion this was a very good idea, but it seems they are not very careful in typing those credits. If you have ever tried to type such listings to your local database, you will agree that a lot of the speakers' names are spelled more times wrong than correct.
As a load of them additionally works as actors, too, their counts in the database are growing very much since the mentioned law was introduced.
What I am thinking about now is this (just as an example): In the past a (voice-)actor had a bunch of credits, 20 times version A (e. g. Thomas Nero Wolff), 3 times version B (e. g. Thomas N. Wolff) and 5 times version C (e. g. Thomas-Nero Wolff) of the spelling (or the name). So this way version A became his common name (which could be even his real name and B + C are only kind of misspellings).
Now he is found as a voice actor for a series with more than 100 episodes, were he is credited in every single one as a speaker, but each time spelled with wrong version D (e. g. Thomas Nero Wolf). In theory now his common name would have to change to version D.
As he is still working as a voice actor, for sure he has a lot of jobs to do, and so he works for 2 - 3 other series with more than 150 episodes, and this time they do better and list him each time with version A - which then should become the common name once again.
So especially in case of the voice actors, you might see my "problem" concerning the common name. We can't check the numbers often enough to find out if the common name still really is the common.
I have no idea if the voice actors are also credited in any other language than German, so I prefer ideas from guys with German Discs. If the situation is the same for any other language, ideas are welcome, too.
It is a huge load of work to modify my complete collection with the allready defined common names, but imagine you are doing this job, are half way through your database, and then a bunch of common names changes, caused by misspellings.
Any idea for a solution to avoid work? | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 2468 | | ...according to the rules.
Do I need to understand it? Am I able to? So many discussions conecerning the rules...
and suddenly I get an update for a Disc-Profile of a TV-Series - with the whole season as THE update!
Alltough the rules were defined that a series season can't have a profile by Disc-ID.
Update of covers + overview... so if the one who does the release has both in front of him, how is it possible, that a text totally different from the covertext even could be released? In the past this was kind of blocked with the message "correct that first and then try again" | Posted: Topic Replies: 0, Topic Views: 1401 | |
