I could be mistaken, but I believe that initially there was only one type of divider, so old profiles might have Episode dividers where we would now use Group dividers.
I think it would be very difficult for a tool to determine if end dividers are missing, or if the groups are intended to be levelled, or detemine if a divider is the wrong type. I agree. I was thinking of some kind of interactive thing similar to Profiler Cast / Crew edit. Two panes, one on the left showing the existing setup, and one on the right showing just the dividers. User would adjust dividers, add and delete, then drag and drop people from the left-hand side to the right. Save the profile when done. Contribute as appropriate. Maybe that's no better than the existing editing form, now that I think about it. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | Well of course I blew everything up while enhancing divider parsing, BY recognition and testing with multiple name variants. I think things have settled back down now, but I still get consistently the same number of "extra" profiles with some actors. Are they legitimate, or do I have a bug that I just can't find? If anybody wants to take a shot at helping me figure it out, here is an example: Will Wallace. Current CLT says 379 profiles. I consistently get 382. Have been getting the extra for a long time now. Always with the same actors, but not every actor. Will Wallace CLT profiles, CLTBoss "skinny" XML.Will Wallace CLT profiles, Invelos full XML.Are the 3 extra musketeers for real???  And of course I will painfully suffer the news of any other issues you find.  | | | Thanks for your support.

Does it mean that you can't download them, using the "Add To Collection"? | | | Thanks for your support.

Mystery solved? Is is truly the case that CLTBoss finds credits that CLT does not? Maybe these are contributions pending approval?

| | Posted: | | | | All three Profiles exist in other locations:

065935141952-Canada (Quebec)

If I had to guess, I'd look for some loose variable binding, which equals the locality 0 with an empty string... | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) |

| | Posted: | | | | I generated the list out of your CSV. What I meant with The profiles, which seem not to exist in the data base: When I try to add the profile by entering the UPC in DVDProfiler, I get only two localities to select for the download; US is not available for selection. e.g.   | | | | Complete list of Common Names • A good point for starting with Headshots (and v11.1) | | | | Last edited: by AiAustria |

| | Posted: | | | | So, we are on the same page.  The CLT misses those three profiles that actually ARE in the database! I told you, I downloaded them into my local database, using the plugin online access. Here is how the API works. I will not reveal the actual API, as Invelos told me not to: (1) Ask Invelos "give me all profile IDs" based on UPC "086162000355": tpids {object[2]} [0]: "086162000355.25" [1]: "086162000355.49" (2) Ask Invelos "give me a pointer to the profile with profile ID = "086162000355" - get non-null pointer (you get a null pointer if the profile does not exist) - (pointer).GetProfileID() yields "086162000355" - (pointer).GetXML() yields the XML in the file I gave a link to This is the part of the Invelos database key scheme that leads to errors. There is no way to tell the difference between a UPC and a locality 0 profile ID. For example, if you ask: "give me a pointer to profile ID "086162000355.0", you get a null pointer!!! Of course, the other localities work just as they should. Bottom line. There is a bug lurking in the Invelos Online, that sometimes misses presenting the locality 0 profile, even though it exists in the database. I find them. CLT does not. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | To complete the story, here is what things look like when the database call shows the US profile:
"Give me all profiles for the UPC 025192516726"
tpids
{object[2]}
[0]: "025192516726"
[1]: "025192516726.3"
You see that the locality 0 profile is included in the list, with exactly the same format as the UPC. | | | Thanks for your support.
