I don't think it's possible in DVD Profiler itself. You can do it with ProfilerQuery, but you get a much simpler layout, for example:



You can, of course, configure which columns to include in the report (including thumbnails).

ProfilerQuery has a bit of a learning curve in order to get a result like this. However, should you want to give it a try, feel free to PM me for tips.

I guess yesterday was screener day. I had a couple of updates accepted yesterday.

CastCrewCheck 3.0.2

After a recent update to DJ's CastCrewEdit, the integration between CastCrewCheck and CastCrewEdit stopped working. This has now been fixed.

The previous version erroneously included support for WebView2, which was not needed, but takes up a lot of disk space. You can safely delete the subfolder named CastCrewCheck.exe.WebView2.

One question: the requirement not to upload IMDB data to invelos is still effective, correct?

Correct! You can use it as a starting point, though, and verify/correct the data against the actual credits. CastCrewCheck can be helpful in this regard.

You already posted this in the Technical Support forum and got responses. What's the point of reposting in this forum? If you have any more information, add it to that thread.

For several days I have been having problems inserting film covers into the program with several errors (Access violation at address 0074017E in Module DVDPRO.Exe Read of Address 00000000). I need repair more times the program.

Did you try just rebooting your PC? Sometimes that helps. If not, I would suggest that you uninstall and re-install DVD Profiler. Make sure you have a backup of your collection first.

Then in the order the letters (Le La The An A) are not stored in the passage between insertion and the initial screen.

I'm not sure I quite understand your problem, but select from the menu Tools / Options / Display. Check or uncheck "Append title articles". Does that fix it?

I recently made an interesting discovery. I updated some profiles that were missing color information. Most of them also had some other changes; birth year, common name or whatever. But the ones that had only color information added were approved immediately.

I can only surmise that this is bug in the bot. While color info is a very simple piece of information, it's not so simple that you cannot get it wrong. I have seen that happen. So it should be voted on.

DvdpScheduler 2.6.8

Well, it seems that the fix in 2.6.7 didn't work quite as intended. 

Trying to watch the progress window in DVD Profiler turned out to be a little more complicated than I initially thought. I found out that the progress window is always there, only it is invisible when not needed.

If HTTPJolie is used, I no longer check the progress window, because HTTPJolie will tell me when a command file is completed. When HTTPJolie is not used, I still have to check the progress window, but now to see if it is visible or not. That seems to work.

Please note that selecting to start DvdpScheduler on Windows startup is not a good idea if you use HTTPJolie. DvdpScheduler should be started after DVD Profiler is running, otherwise it will sense that HTTPJolie is not available, and disable HTTPJolie integration.

You can start DVD Profiler and DvdpScheduler in the proper order on Windows startup by using SlowStarter. Just make sure you give Profiler enough time before starting DvdpScheduler.

That usually means that your a local online list file has been corrupted.
Go to "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\DVD Profiler" and delete OnlineList.dod and OnlineListSel.dod. They will be reconstructed when you connect to Invelos.

Quoting ObiKen (from another thread):
Quote:
MonoCheck is a very simple and effective tool for 2.0 audio tracks, however, there is one small caveat when using it.
On Windows 11, make sure "Enable audio enhancements" for the speakers is DISABLED.

To verify the setting on Windows 11, follow the procedure described below:

Press Win + R keys to open the Run Command dialog box.
Type mmsys.cpl and press Enter key.
Select Speakers and click Properties button
Select Advanced tab

In the section titled "Signal Enhancements", make sure "Enable audio enhancements" is DISABLED.

If its enabled then when the audio track is 2.0 mono, MonoCheck may end up displaying false-positives for stereo (that is, the left and right channels may appear non-identical in magnitude and asynchronous in changes).

This is no fault of the MonoCheck program, rather, it accurately reflects the consequences of Microsoft's manipulation of the 2.0 mono track into a pseudo-stereo track.


Important info that I wasn't previously aware of.

I'll have to check out MonoCheck but you can also use Audacity to analyze the audio tracks.

I'm sure that there are several audio programs than can analyze audio tracks. But MonoCheck has an advantage. It's created especially for this purpose. It is dirt simple, and it's very small, so you can run it on top of your media player without obscuring anything important.


And ObiKen - many thanks for that info! I was not aware of that.

Edit: I just realized that I made an almost identical comment in the MonoCheck thread last year. I guess I have a one track mind ...

I had a PM conversation with Magmadrag a few days ago. He shared some of his personal problems. I can't discuss them here, but he said he would be unavailable for some time. So I think it's fair to assume that his silence is not a sign of disinterest or laziness. So please cut him some slack for now.

Just FYI, Kvack, MonoCheck is a good tool for finding out if a two-track encoding is actually mono.

Well, now the rest have been approved, so it's not too bad. But the fact that updates get approved faster than new contributions creates anomalies like this. And it's so unnecessary.

Sigh! 

The profiles that I changed from two movies to one of the movies has been released. The updated boxset parent has also been released. But … the new profiles that were created for the second movies from each of the old two-movies profiles, those have not been released.

Thus, if you accepts the currently released profiles, you lose half of the movies (until those are also released).
How stupid!

The rules are clear that we should not contribute disc level profiles for such discs. Right now I'm profiling the movies included in the Hammer Film Noir box set (089859-055423). It currently does have disc level profiles, and I'm meaning to break those up.

The problem here is that there are disc level extras. Some of them pertain to a specific movie, like commentary, so they should be included in the profile for that movie. But some of them are more general. And if we don't make disc level profiles, where do we add these extras? Do we add them to both movies profiles?

I don't think we should include "additional" anything, so No.

It looks like drag-and-drop works in the Edit Tags window. So if you create Continent tags you might be able to drag the Country tags there and thus make them child tags. You might want to create a small test database to try this out on, to see if it works the way you want it to.

I see that Marty beat me to this.

DvdpScheduler 2.6.7

The timing of the backup didn't work as intended, instead it reported that the backup took less than a second. Wishful thinking.

Not a big problem unless you had configured another task to run after the backup, in which case DvdpScheduler would not wait for the backup to finish before trying to run that task.

Could be a firewall issue. Make sure port 32847 (or whatever) is allowed.

And as for support, yes it seems that community support is all we have.

To make sure I understand, when used with DoubleDips, the benefit to the user is that they are not required to manage an XML export?

No, I only use HTTPJolie here for selecting profiles in DVD Profiler when the user double-clicks a row. I contemplated reading the data directly via HTTPJolie, but decided that it would be too slow. So, limited use here, but I find HTTPJolie immensely useful in other applications. It opens up so many possibilities.

If you're wondering about the statistics, the reason that DoubleDip profiles is more than DoubleDipped titles is that some titles have been "dipped" more than once (like "20 Million Miles to Earth" in the illustration). 653 double dips? Yikes!    Maybe I should spend more time culling my collection, and less time developing software than no one but me seems to be interested in ... 

PS the printing subsystem is supposed to be able to print in color. It doesn't. At least not for me. I blame Syncfusion. Not that I consider it a great loss in this case. And I guess I can't complain too much since I don't have to pay Syncfusion for using their datagrid.

DoubleDips 2.0

Version 1 had a nasty bug, and lacked some features that I thought it needed, so I rewrote it from scratch. It doesn't look much different at first glance, but it is faster and better, and it has printing facility.

If you're looking to get rid of some DVDs that you have upgraded to Blu-ray (or Blu-ray to 4K, or whatever), then this will help.

We all know that stuff we would like to own in our collection and never can understand why they are not released. Imo the problem since the streaming era began is that they simply produce too much fort TV and all the streamers. And mostly they got no idea if any collectors would buy. Sometimes they try, but if the first few seasons are sold too less, they quit releasing.

Yes, this is quite frustrating. One of my favorite shows back in the day was Fame. It was wildly popular, yet only two of six seasons were ever released on DVD, and it's not streaming anywhere (afaik).

It sounds to me like a "glass half full or glass half empty" situation. Sure, it would be nice if people did a complete audit of their discs before contributing, but I still think that something is better than nothing. As long as people don't knowingly submit incorrect data, I'm fine. Not everyone is interested in spending hours creating profiles. I wouldn't call it lazy.

As regards original title for TV shows, the rules don't really specify what it should be. While I personally agree with you that it should be just the name of the show, there have been many discussions about it, and it seems that there are reasons (valid or not) to include season info. However, the rules do say "In cases where the title is the original title, leave the Original Title field blank", so those who don't accept just the name of the show should probably leave the original title field empty.
