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. | Posted: Topic Replies: 13, Topic Views: 12196 |

Well, I don't see that problem here, so obviously something differs between my PC and yours. It could be related to the other error that you see, or it could be something entirely different. It's a bit odd that the error seems to occur in the Forum browser, but affects the IMDb browser. Or it could actually be two different problems.
Do you have Microsoft's Edge browser installed, and if so, does it work OK? The WebView2 browser control in BirthYearView uses some Edge components, but it should work independent from Edge. Still, sometimes Microsoft screws up ... 
If you figure out (and fix) whatever causes that other problem, I would be interested to know if that also eliminates the problem in BirthYearView.
I would also like to know if anyone else has tried BirthYearView, and if so if they have seen any problem like this. | Posted: Topic Replies: 13, Topic Views: 12196 |

A small 'feature': When choosing Lookup, the following error message appears in an error window before loading the correct IMDb data for a brief moment, which changes then to an error 404 page.
System.NullReferenceException: Der Objektverweis wurde nicht auf eine Objektinstanz festgelegt.
bei BirthYearView.ucForumBrowser.Lookup(String Name) in C:\Users\gsyre\OneDrive\Documents\Visual Studio Projects\BirthYearView\BirthYearView\ucForumBrowser.xaml.vb:Zeile 19.
Does this happen for a specific title, or for all titles? | Posted: Topic Replies: 13, Topic Views: 12196 |

BirthYearView 1.0.0
Another birth year tool? Yep. On the surface it may look a bit like BirthYearFinder, but the purpose is quite different.
This one shows you the names of cast and crew that have more than one birth year, in your collection. This can help you determine if the different birth years are correct.
Why I created this?
I found that a person in one of my profiles had a birth year entered, where in reality his birth year was unknown. So I added a new person with the same name, but without a birth year, and reassigned this person to the role. So far, so good.
But, as I already had several profiles that contained this name with birth years, I started to think that some of those might also be incorrect. And - lo and behold - one certainly was. This made me wonder if I had more instances of incorrect birth year like this. And that lead to the creation of this tool.
While testing it I realized how hard it can be to find credits in a TV show with lots of episodes. So I added an Episode check function.
This makes it a lot easier to find entries that need their birth years to be corrected. (I may contemplate adding this feature to some other tools.)
Please read the help file for full details of this tool's features! | Posted: Topic Replies: 13, Topic Views: 12196 |

Just curious, is there a file for OverviewCheckPlus called "Verified.txt" like there was in the original OverviewCheck to keep track of the verified profiles when you make a new export file?
Wrong thread, but the answer is No. Not sure why I didn't implement something like that. I'm adding it to my To Do list as a possible enhancement. | Posted: Topic Replies: 15, Topic Views: 13174 |

BirthYearFinder 2.0.0
In order to make information gathering easier, I have switched to using an internal web browser. That way I have much better control, and the information is easier accessible.
There is an IMDb tab that shows the IMDb search result page. You'll have to find the correct movie and click the link. When you do, you'll get automatically transferred to the Full Cast & Crew page. Use Ctrl-F for searching the page.
The next tab is the relevant forum post. The tab will show the Name and the birth year that is in your local profile. You may not even need to look at this tab. Having name and birthyear visible in that tab header while you browse the IMDb page will help reminding you of who you are looking for.
The properties of the result grid are now saved between sessions, so if you change the grouping or the order of the columns, this will be remembered the new time.
If you delete a row (or rows) by mistake, you can undo the deletion(s).
Please see the updated help file for more in-depth information. | Posted: Topic Replies: 15, Topic Views: 13174 |

It does appear to be working at the moment.
Dang! I didn't think this would ever be fixed! It took almost a year, but it seems to be working now!  | Posted: Topic Replies: 93, Topic Views: 31006 |

Not sure what you mean. DVD Profiler doesn't really handle files, just profiles. But as you have used DVD Profiler for 12 years, I assume that you know how to add or delete profiles. So I guess you're referring to something else.
Can you elaborate, and preferably include a screenshot? | Posted: Topic Replies: 2, Topic Views: 4197 |

OverviewCheckPlus 1.2.3
Minor change: Under Load ID list from DVD Profiler there is now also collection "Flagged".
Reason for change:
In some instances you can get an error from HTTPJolie that says "Unhandled Error Processing 'pidlist': Operation aborted". If that happens, instead of selecting "Owned" or "All" or whatever, just flag all the relevant profiles and select "Flagged" in OverviewCheckPlus.
PS You can actually get the same result in the previous version by flagging and saving the flags to a flag file, and then select Load ID list from flag file i OverviewCheckPlus. It's just one step less in 1.2.3.
PPS You can, of course, use this feature even if you don't get the error mentioned. | Posted: Topic Replies: 37, Topic Views: 33921 |

Just thought I'd mention this, since it may not be obvious:
In order for DvdpScheduler to control DVD Profiler, you must be logged in to Windows. There is no way to control DVD Profiler otherwise.
BUT it can run when Windows is locked (Win-L). So you can have it run when you're not at your PC (over night, for example) without having to leave it totally unguarded.
For example, this is my nightly run to keep everything updated.

BirthYearFinder 1.3.0
I had some free time during Xmas, so I added a few more features to BirhYearFinder.
» Uncredited cast is marked with an asterisk.
» Filtering for titles (Ctrl-F).
» Optionally add columns Collection Number, Production Year and Media. See Settings.
A few minor bugs were also fixed.
Please note that the new columns can only be shown for results that were created with this version. If you load results that were saved in a previous version, these columns will not be available.
Here is a tip (that also works in 1.2):
Even though I have chosen to group the result by ID per default, you can actually group it by any column(s). Just drag the column header up to the grouping area. The example shows that I have triple dipped on 20 Million Miles to Earth, and their online profiles all need a birth year for Joan Taylor.
Feel free to experiment with different groupings to see if any of them work better for you than just grouping on ID.
As always, refresh your browser if you don't see the latest version in the download page. | Posted: Topic Replies: 15, Topic Views: 13174 |

| Yes, it seems that the chart feature is broken. Not sure when that happened. I never us it myself. | Posted: Topic Replies: 2, Topic Views: 4552 |

I can't find where this is covered in the rules, and I have some concerns about some recent contributions that copies cast from other profiles.
First of all, the movies in question do not have any role names, and the copied cast has role names that almost certainly comes from IMDb.
Secondly, the copied cast includes uncredited cast, and is not even flagged as uncredited, and is undocumented in the original contribution notes.
So the question is - if copying from another profile is allowed, does that mean that anything that was once approved for that profile is now allowed into the receiving profile, even though it would not have been approved if it had been contributed by itself? | Posted: Topic Replies: 2, Topic Views: 3653 |

OK, I couldn't help myself ...
I really wanted to be able to group all entries from the same profile together. This makes it more convenient to see which names come from a certain profile, so you can fix them all and then contribute. This meant that I had to use a 3rd party datagrid. A bit more work to get everything to play the way I wanted, and a bit larger download. But I think it was worth it.
You can delete all items from a group by right clicking a row and selecting Delete entire group.
I have also made some other minor changes. The help file has been upgraded to reflect this.
