I sent a pre-sales tech support question in a couple days ago. I can't send PM's because of my restricted access.

It's really this simple. I would like to use DVDP to manage my data and images. But I must be able to export or copy/paste the images into the folders used by my media player for the onscreen Movie/TV details. If I merge my actor headshots with the v6 datbase, I need to move a copy of ALL of them into the appropriate media player folder.

Unfortunately the answer is also simple: You can't, not with the way things are structured today.

But if you decide to go ahead and join the team, there are a bunch of us that like to tinker with things like this. We would need to know the layout of your folders, size of your collection, etc. As time goes by, maybe some kind of tool(s) could be made.

Of course that would be totally unofficial and you would have to just trust that maybe something could be done. And there is always the possibility that Invelos will be inspired by your ideas and do something official. You never know.

Maximum risk = $30.
Thanks for your support.

Hmm, based on some previous posts, it sounded like there was some access. Oh well.

Might be better to use plugins to my media player instead of adding another application, and plugins for that. I do like the ability to access the collection information online, even if that template looks like very old.

Thanks Everyone. Great Job!

You're welcome. Just out of curiosity, what is your media player?

And, have you contacted the author of the headshots db to explore your ideas (Dr. KillPatient)? He is probably the best person to tell you the issues or perhaps even help you out. Why not just send him a PM and see what happens?

mediadogg. This forum will not let me send PM's or respond to PM's, or post in most threads - until I buy something from Invelos. Sorry, I can't respond to your message but thank you.

Well, you could have answered my question instead of saying you couldn't answer. So be it.

Oops, sorry Mediadogg. I didn't catch that top line. In fact, I read your post 5 more times "what the heck is he referring to". I use Media Browser for the front end, which triggers PowerDVD 11 when a file is queued for play. There's a few plugins added to MB. I also use Media Center Master.

I have something that might be very interesting to Dr. K. I had a developer build an application that collects actor  images using DOB when available. If you get time, please send him a PM to ask that he contact me: bjohnson1200  at G mail

Thanks, Doggg

No worries. Good luck with the project. I still hold out hope that Invelos will give plugins access to the embedded headshots. Then you will probably see all kinds of cool tools emerge.
