BirthYearView 1.1.0

I finally found a way to programmatically search in the WebView2 browser. So now the program automatically searches for the correct person in the IMDb listing:



I also added production year in the treeview listing. This makes it easier to differentiate between movies of the same name, and it also helps spotting unlikely differences between birth year and production year.



And as always, if you don't see the latest version in the download page - refresh your browser!

CapitalizationCheck is now supposed to capitalize every word that comes before and after a colon. If there are instances where it doesn’t, let me know. Actually, I don’t think it works if there is a blank before the colon. But there shouldn’t be.

CapitalizationCheck 1.0.1

Correctly capitalizes words that end with a colon. Can I call that "colonialization"?    (Avoiding cruder colon jokes)

I will check that out further. I did check those boxes, but still had to make the change myself. I am good though. Your program found several issues with capitalization...Excellent.

I checked and it works as intended for me.

Seems to me the Invelos title tool is treating the colon as a continuation mark in the title, so the preceding word is no longer the last word in the title.

Ah, I see what you mean. I guess I'm making the same mistake. I considered everything in the title field to be a single title. So, if I understand you correctly, for capitalization purposes anything followed by a colon should be capitalized as if it were a last word?

Ok, if it’s not working as intended I will look at it.

As always: Excellent Program. Now if it could make the correction for you, if you want. But, I'm happy knowing where the problems are and being able to open the profile for editing.

If you check those two last checkboxes in the settings, double-clicking will make the correction. You'll still have to accept it by clicking OK, though. I hesitated to take it any further than that, since I didn't want any unintended changes to slip through.

I'm not 100% sure if I take colon into consideration, but the main problem with "As Time Goes By" is that "by" is (incorrectly) listed in the settings among the words that should not be capitalized. My mistake.

There is an easter egg in TmdbInfo. Well, it's something I forgot to document, anyway. If you double click on the header in the movie, tv show or person window, you will be taken to the IMDb page for that title/name. I'll try to remember to document it for version 2.1 (which will include copying TV show credits to Profiler, among other things).

Thanks TrauStaa! Your request certainly carries weight.

Although I don't think that TmdbInfo can come anywhere near the functionality of DJ's CastCrewEdit2, there is one thing that it has in it's favor. IMDb seems intent on making it as difficult as possible to access it's data, which means that CastCrewEdit2 may need frequent updating. TMDb on the other hand makes it easy to access their data through their API. This mean that it's much less likely that TmdbInfo will stop working through any action by TMDb.

Do let me know what you think of TmdbInfo, and what improvements that you'd like to see, more than the TV show copy support. And that goes for anyone else as well, obviously! I love feedback.

This is a complete rewrite of TmdbInfo, with new features.



It's a different browsing experience. You can double-click on a row in a search window and open up a new window for that information. And then another and another, going as deep as you wish.

Not sure how useful it is, but it also includes a configurable way to copy cast and crew from TMDB into DVD Profiler. Copying cast was fairly straight forward, but crew was a bit trickier. So this also includes a program that maps how TMDB crew entries are converted to Profiler crew entries. This copy features is only available for movies right now. If you find it useful and want want the same copy function for TV shows, let me know.

TmdbInfo version 2.0

The birth year list says 1939, but IMDb says 1937.
Do we have any evidence that IMDb is wrong?

It says "premature end of file" or some such thing, I don't have the exact phrase now.


Try deleting the OnlineList.dod and OnlineListSel.dod files, restart, and try the download again.

Yes, the error message strongly suggests that this is a local issue, not a server issue.
Deleting these files is a good suggestion. Then can be found at %localappdata%\DVD Profiler .

No, it is unfortunately not true. You can tell the difference as follows: instead of rfereshing your collection completely in one step, hit "online/PROFILE REFRESH" (instead of "collection refresh"). When there are no updates, you simply get nothing. When the incremental refrsh fails, you get an error.
I tried a few minutes ago, it failed.

Are you referring to Online/Refresh DVD from Invelos/Refresh Profile Only? If so, that works as expected for me. Exactly what error do you see?

BirthYearFinder 2.0.1

Certain language settings in Windows interfered with the IMDb links in the browser. A work-around for this has been implemented.

I had actually not had any reports of this, but since BirthYearFinder uses the same logic to look up IMDb as BirthYearView does, I assume that it had the same problem. So I have applied the same work-around.

Certain language settings in Windows interfered with the IMDb links in the browser. A work-around for this has been implemented.

In addition to this I have fixed a bug (that I can only blame myself for) where names that were not listed in the birth year list could cause an error in the program.

Thanks to TraunStaa I have identified the bug that throws the error. This happens when you have a person with a birth year that doesn't appear in the birth year list. This will be fixed in the next version.

The IMDb issue is a bit more difficult. This seems to be dependent on Windows locality. I can probably fix it for Germany, but I would like to find a general solution. Worst case - I may have to cripple one feature a bit.

Found the 'culprit' - DJs CastCrewCopy&Paste triggered the error on start-up.

Hm, I wonder if it was really the culprit. I suspect that it might just have been the symptom of a deeper issue.
