Hi there,

in the database are profiles for series with a box profile and profiles for every single disc. But there are profiles for series with ohne profils and only disc ids within the profile.

What ist the reason/condition to make one box profile with single disc ids?

Regards
MacLeod

PS: Hope you understand my bad english

The willingness to put in the effort, the patience for it and most importantly the perceived need for child profiles.


First and foremost this is an issue on how to look at your collection and what you want to achieve with the data.

For example, if you are only interested in not accidentally buying the same season twice, then a season-only profile is just fine for you.


Other people genuinely see a season as just one very long single feature, not to be broken down any further.

And yet another sample group wants to track what they've watched as precisely as possible, so they break down a 22 episode season into as many pieces as logistically possible, which for a 22 minute show is usually a 3 disc set with 8 episodes and for a 42 minute show 6 discs with 4 episodes.

Season child profiles are optional, that's why you find al the pertinent information in the season profile, even when child profiles exist.


So kann jeder nach seiner Façon glücklich werden.
