Well, the thumbnail implementation is a bit wonky so there you go. Good to hear you got it sorted out.  | Posted: Topic Replies: 11, Topic Views: 490 |

The thumbnails are not downloaded from the Invelos online database, only the full size cover images are. The DVD Profiler for PC application generates the thumbnails from the full size cover images and only does so when the given thumbnail needs to be actively displayed within the application for the first time.
As such, delete the thumbnails for the profile(s) in question from your "Thumbnails" folder. Once doing so change your "Collection List\Collection View" option to "View As List", then change it back to a view that includes thumbnails, i.e. "View As Details" or "View As Thumbnails".
When viewing the profile(s) in question within the "Collection List" pane at that point the thumbnails will be regenerated automatically and added to your "Thumbnails" folder, the "Collection List" then populating all the thumbnails for the profiles displayed within the pane.
This is the expected behavior. I'm able to replicate the above at will. I did so several times just now with random profiles. Give it a try and let us know how you make out. Good luck! | Posted: Topic Replies: 11, Topic Views: 490 |

I don't use DVD Profiler to add any of my cover art or thumbnails. Doing so results in reduced image quality. Instead I copy the cover art and thumbnails I've prepared for a given profile to the below folder locations used by DVD Profiler, my local DVD Profiler database in this case being called, "BD".
"C:\Users\AlienM15x\Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\BD\Images\"
"C:\Users\AlienM15x\Documents\DVD Profiler\Databases\BD\Images\Thumbnails"
(The DVD Profiler for PC application creates the thumbnails. They aren't downloaded from the Invelos online database.)
That being said, as a workaround you could always create your own thumbnails for the profile(s) in question and place them in your "Thumbnails" folder. There's also the "Tools\Options\Utilities\Clean Images Directory" option. Perhaps that might help. It will delete images that are no longer in use. Not sure if it addresses missing thumbnails though. | Posted: Topic Replies: 11, Topic Views: 490 |

At the very least I should tag each profile a second time, the tag calling out the original aspect
Thanks. I do that as well, on top of the tags shown earlier

"Full Frame" is a strange term anyway. It could theoretically be argued that 1.78:1 is today's "Full Frame". I also have trouble with films in the 2.35:1 aspect ratio that are cropped to 1.78:1 for the DVD. There, too, I would like DVD Profiler to acknowledge somehow that I'm looking at a modified version of the original aspect ratio, but there's currently no real way to do that.
Sure there is, mention it in the notes section. Use a term that would only show for that, and you still search it with the "other" filter. 
Or just use tags, which not only allows accurate filtering but also usage in custom HTML windows, e.g. displaying special icons based on the tags.
Nice use of tags, the expanded data points on aspect ratios. Very nice indeed. I need to step up my game as my aspect ratio tags only call out the aspect ratio used by the particular release.
At the very least I should tag each profile a second time, the tag calling out the original aspect ratio.
And in case anyone was wondering, the colored dots to the left of each profile above call out the media type of the given profile. Found the dots much more appealing than smaller versions of the icons I use locally with DVD Profiler.
(Grey=DVD, Blue=Blu-ray, Black=UHD Blu-ray, Light Blue=SD on Blu-ray, Green=AmazonPrime on Blu-ray, Red=Netflix on Blu-ray, Purple=HBO Max on Blu-ray, iTunes icon=iTunes on Blu-ray.) | Posted: Topic Replies: 16, Topic Views: 3891 |

Is the profile selection in step 3 really needed?
Oh, my. Good catch. I've since updated my prior post. I included that by mistake as I perform the steps described by right clicking on a given profile accessing the Context Menu. The OP of course may not have all those options added to their Context Menu, hence why I laid out the steps via the File Menu. | Posted: Topic Replies: 4, Topic Views: 1240 |

You can copy and paste data from one profile to every other profile in your collection in one shot. Instructions provided below.
Step 1: Select a single profile in your "Collection List", then select the "DVD\Copy" option.
Step 2: Flag every profile in your "Collection List" using the "Collection\Flags" option.
Step 3: Select the "Collection\Flagged\Paste" option.
Step 4: From the "Paste Profile Data" window that's displayed enable the "Confirm action to overwrite data in all flagged profiles" and "Override Locks" options, then select the "Media Banners" data option and press "OK".
Easy peasy lemon squeezy. It's so easy a caveman could do it. Have fun! | Posted: Topic Replies: 4, Topic Views: 1240 |

Hey DJ Doena, just letting you know getting an Error 308 when scanning Page.
Getting the same error when attempting to download data for a given movie or TV series. May just have to donate when I get my next paycheck. I can live without Invelos.com. The site outage past couple days didn't phase me in the least. Perfectly content to work locally. What I can't live without is "Cast/Crew Edit 2". Look forward to this error being addressed. | Posted: Topic Replies: 599, Topic Views: 49627 |

And if you want it to be even faster and easier: you don't even have to uncompress the file! The incremental update of phpDVDProfiler should support out of the box compressed files (either with LZ compression, gzip compression, bzip2 compression, or zip compression). You just have to upload the "collection.zip" (or "collection.xml.gz", or ...) file as you normally would and run the update. I use it personally with gzip compression, so I can attest that this one at least works.
Please note: given the size of your collection, you might encounter memory consumption problems, so test carefully. But in the worst case, you still have the possibility to manually unzip the file and run the update like you do it now.
I do perform an incremental update most of the time, i.e. I'll flag one or more new profiles I've just added to DVD Profiler performing an export. In those cases I don't need to zip the xml anyway as it's already so small. Once every month or two I export all my profiles however per catching any changes I've made to existing profiles, i.e. view history, tags and such. That's when I'll zip the resulting xml prior to uploading it.
Once uploading the zip I actually upload another xml which contains a single profile. I then run a full update replacing my existing online profiles with the one profile. I then extract the zip containing all my profiles and run another full update. This prevents the size of my SQL database from becoming bloated which I found was happening if I didn't first clear out my existing profiles basically. | Posted: Topic Replies: 67, Topic Views: 31132 |

My "collection.xml" file currently weighs in at 248 MB. The same file zipped weighs in at 23.5 MB. As such, I've been uploading the zip file to my web space. Once uploaded I've been logging in to my Network Solutions account and unzipping the file using one of the web based tools they offer called "File Manager". That tool is currently unavailable, so I decided to see how else I could unzip a file residing on my FTP. Ended up finding a much better solution.
There's a PHP file available on Github here. You upload the file to the target directory on your FTP, the directory containing the zip file you'd like to extract. You then go to the URL for the PHP file. Said page displays a list of the available ZIP files residing in the same directory as the PHP file. You select the given ZIP file from the drop-down list, then press the "Unzip Archive" button. Works great! Needless to say, I won't be using the Network Solutions web based tool anymore. This method is much faster. | Posted: Topic Replies: 67, Topic Views: 31132 |

The Six Million Dollar Man: The Complete Series
Does it contain the movies that came before the actual series?
Season 1, Disc 1 contains the original broadcasts for all 3 TV Pilot Movies. Seasons 1, Disc 6 contains the syndication versions for all 3 TV Pilot Movies.
(My online profile for the "Pilot TV Movies and Season 1" can be viewed here.)
On a related note...
Just for fun I reauthored all the discs for Season 1 as I didn't really care for the menus and functionality provided. Season 1 turned out so well I'm going to re-author the remaining seasons as well. I posted screenshots of the Blu-ray menus here for anyone who would like to check them out. | Posted: Topic Replies: 5287, Topic Views: 75813 |

| Just contribute the child profiles which make up your boxsets using the UPC's if present or Disc ID's if needed. Users that download those profiles can create their own boxsets if they want. It's not exactly rocket science. If it's that important to you that people have access to your parent profiles then backup the profiles and make them available for download. | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 4823 |
