yea, but you are failing to realize: i bet people (MYSELF INCLUDED) would rather have info in the profile than NO INFO WHATSOEVER. i, too, have been using it since it was Invocative. i've submitted several profiles back in the day and they were rejected. so i said to myself, fine - i won't help out. now, for the last 18+ years, if it's not in the database, i have to go through the pain of putting in BASIC info and cover image myself. (no cast info, which REALLY sucks...)
i'd just be nice to have the info there, THEN if someone sees a mistake, and wants to fix it - GO FOR IT!
pulling from IMDB or even TMDB would be better than NOTHING.
But pulling IMDb info is illegal - that material is protected by copyright. Pulling their data (which is easily checked because of the mistakes) will get this site shut down.
I think it all depends on what you mean by "pulling". If I am reading from multiple sources, including IMDB, the list of cast and roles and I own the DVD and looking at the credits on the cover or from the screen and putting that information into DVD Profiler, IMHO that could not be construed as illegal. All the information is public knowledge. I agree that using an automated process, such as a computer to collect and extract from the proprietary presentation or database representation of the information might be construed as illegal. That's why Invelos rules do not allow contributing information gathered that way. To contribute, one is supposed to promise that all information has been verified by watching the movie credits directly or extracting directly from the DVD covers. Once this verification has been done, there is no way to tell what process the user employed to gather the information. | Posted: Topic Replies: 25, Topic Views: 18817 | | | Whoa, forgot all about TMDb. I signed up for the API 11 years ago!!! I don't remember why I didn't incorporate it into Contribution Assistant. | Posted: Topic Replies: 45, Topic Views: 16866 | | Quoting hydr0x:

There should be a way to remove the "Wish List" from the "All" group of movies, as to me, the "All" are ones that I have and should not include ones that I don't have...

That makes no sense. The very purpose of the "All" tab is to have a way to show ALL profiles in your database. It's the only way to search across all of them.
If it annoys you, just remove it from your display. Right click the category/tab list > Other > Edit Collection Categories > Hide built-in categories: "All"
There is no need for such drastic measures. As I explained, "Owned" is what he needs. Maybe he didn't realize. | Posted: Topic Replies: 4, Topic Views: 5741 | | Quoting sneaks66:

That is the purpose of "Owned". Owned = All - WishList - Ordered - Custom Categories not included in owned (user choice) | Posted: Topic Replies: 4, Topic Views: 5741 | | | Good that you removed the email address. But you might continue to wait for solutions to your issue, longer than if you go ahead and post in the Desktop Technical Support forum as I suggested. That's where experienced people usually look for ways to help out. | Posted: Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 4044 | | | I highly recommend that you delete your post and repost in the Desktop Technical Support Forum. And do not expose your email. There are a lot of spammers watching this forum. | Posted: Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 4044 | |
