Right, that seems to have cracked it. I have these erroneous entries in about 40% of my profiles. If I get rid of them, then CCVP is OK.

So all I have to do now is remove the 00/00/0000 events from the affected profiles...by hand........only 400 to go!

Maybe a database repair helps.
If not, I could make a release soon if you want to have this error handled in the sync.

Yes, I'm giving that a try.

Nope, the repair doesn't fix it...oh well, back to manual....only 353 more to go

I don't recall seeing any other reports of the same anomaly in the forums, so it may just be that my DB got corrupted at some point.

On the other hand, you might consider it worthwhile trapping the erroneous date during a sync, especially if the code is quick & easy.

The fix is already done. The effort would be only to make a release and what comes with it.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention and helping me finding the cause.

A general question: Would you mind if I discontinue maintaining the award ZIP files on my website? As with the current plugin it is possible to directly download updates for the awards from my online data pool, and it is possible to export the awards to a file yourself from there.

I would be unhappy if you really stop, because I use them (in fact it's only the all-in-one-zip) outside of your plugin... Maybe you can continue at least this one?

Do you mean the one which contains one XML file?
The next version of the plugin will even have an export which can export as a zip file. Would the zip file on the website be needed then?
Or aren't you using the plugin at all?

First of all, thaks for the great plugin. Then a feature request. Could you add an Original Title field since now plugin misses a bunch of films as in Oscar's they usually use International Title and in DVDP we only have Title and Original Title fields. For example (2010):

Original Title: L'Illusionniste
DVDP Title (Finnish): Illusionisti
Oscar Title: The Illusionist

The title in the award data always has to be the original title. I always match this title to the profile's original title (if blank, I use the title).
If it is not, then the award data needs to be changed. I welcome any fixes to the awards data. I prefer to get them as an already updated export file, instead of only an hint what needs to be changed. I am too lazy that way

Sorry, somehow I missed your post...

The update function takes a lot of time and updating with the all-in-one-XML-file is much faster.

Maybe you can implement a way to recognize changes per award, so it doesn't need to update every time everything. Or do I miss a way to do so?

It already does. When you open the update window, all awards which have changed since you last ran the update are already checked. If the award is not checked, then there is no update to this award and you don't need to download it again.

Ah, OK. Then forget everything I said...

Just installed the plugin and I like it a lot, thanks!

Should we report errors here? If so, there is a problem with Teen Choice Award 2010, actress, action/adventure. Book of Eli and Mila Kunis appear to be cast of Sherlock Holmes and it looks like every nominee won the award.

If it is a bug in the plugin, then yes. If it's an error in the data, then you can also report it here, but even more I would prefer it, if the already fixed data is sent to me 
An award editor and an export function is available in the plugin.

Thanks! I have fixed the data now and made it available in the online pool (i.e. the award update function inside the plugin). I didn't update the zip files on my website though. I still would prefer it if I could discontinue those
