If the Rating Details rule is followed literally then it also includes conjunctions such as [although, before, after, because, how, once, since, that, unless, until, when] as being in lower case because they are all joining words.

Was that the rules intention?


The guidelines specifically mention joining words which are conjunctions, but not all conjunctions, and depending on use, are joining words.

Ok, but that would be for titles. Why apply it to the rating details when the guidelines state:
Quote:
For English profiles, capitalize all words except joining words such as "of", "the", "a", "in", etc."

I seriously doubt that Ken actually intended that different capitalization rules should apply to Titles and Rating Details.

The rule for Rating Details is vague:
capitalize all words except joining words such as "of", "the", "a", "in", etc.

My guess would be that the Titles rule started out equally vague, and then Ken decided to make it clearer by introducing the capitalization tool, but he neglected to clarify that the Rating Details should follow the same rule.


I'm not sure we can assume that as Ken specifically mentioned "joining words" which "Off" is not.

I don't know, but that's how Ken's capitalization tool does it, so I follow suit.

But shouldn't people already know what the generic advice is then for the rating?

What does that matter? Ultimately the rules say we should enter the details that are on the cover in the absence of other sources, so if this is what's there it is within the rules to include it. Removing it or voting no on it is not.


It matters because we don't, and have never, include(d) the rating definition in the rating details. The rating details are the descriptors for why a specific film received the rating it did and is unique to that film. The definition is just a boiler plate/generic explanation for the rating which is independent to the film.

For the US' PG-13 rating we don't add "Some Material May Be Inappropriate for Children Under 13" to the rating details field.

I don't see why this would be any different for other countries.

When refreshing the Online Profile List, hold down the ctrl key. So, from the menu bar, go to Online -> then hold down the ctrl key and click on Refresh Online Profile List...

I do too, but it's obvious there aren't enough people downvoting to have the posts automatically removed as is evident by the fact that the posts are still here and the option to down vote the first wave has disappeared.

Wayback Machine shows some broken images, too.

Will guess (clamshell) on my next contribution. 


The archive is just documenting a snapshot in time. Since those images disappeared at different points in time you have to go back further in time. Here's one that shows the clamshell pictures.

Makes sense as you wouldn't want a title overruling all others simply because it had more releases.

Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 1087
I continue to down vote each one, but apparently not enough people do given the prevalence of posts remaining. It's why there are so many attempts because they know they have a better likelihood of success.

Thanks. That's probably more than what I want to spend just to load UFD Disc IDs into DVD Profiler.

As far as drive enclosures go, I have this which I could recommend more:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K7HMVQ6?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

It plugs into the back of most drives (including the internal Blu-ray writer which I salvaged from another machine) and treats them as if they were external.

I'm curious about the LG BH16NS55, however. I looked it up on Amazon and it doesn't seem to mention UHD support. Are you sure it can read the DISC IDs of UHD discs?


A lot of older LG Blu-ray drives were compatible with UHD though they never mentioned it in the specs. It's possible the newer versions have an updated firmware that disables that capability, but a lot of times you can flash or cross flash firmware to retain or obtain that feature.

Add the release as a boxset and then add each film as a child profile based on the 4K disc IDs.

I happened to receive a random error popup window today and when trying to submit the error to Invelos it failed. I'm guessing either there's a service not running or a port not opened on the new server and is a side effect from the server failure/rebuild process. I wonder if there's a similar issue for the incremental OPL update.

It's kind of ridiculous that contributions from earlier this month haven't been approved but contributions submitted by some members toward the end of May have already been approved.

It will work, but the app is no longer available in the Google Play store. Use Samsung's Smatch Switch to transfer the app to your new phone.

There's some movement as my 30 Apr contribution was just approved and released.

Titles that cannot be matches are few, and currently not imported - we are looking to extend the importer to create personal profiles for titles that cannot be matched, but we naturally cannot import covers and detailed data based on the XML only from DVD Profiler.


That technically isn't difficult to do if you have DVDProfiler installed and they know where DVDP is installed. All they have to do is copy/import the files from the current DVDProfiler location.

However, My Movies was really designed for streaming copies of your movies and the Windows interface is lacking.

I didn't even try since you can download Windows 10 from MS for free but you have to pay for Windows 11. Since I only run DVD Profiler using Bootcamp on my Mac, it didn't seem cost effective.


Actually, you can download Windows 11 for free from MS, and install it if you have a existing Windows 10 license. Are you saying you don't have a Windows 10 license?

Mediadogg: I'm not considering moving to another app because I don't like DVD Profiler. I do. I really do. I am instead looking for a viable iOS alternative, since Invelos seems to have abandoned iOS with the recent server update. While I can still use my iOS devices since I am running Windows 10 on my Intel Mac, Microsoft is abandoning Windows 10 next year. I am not a Boy Scout, but I believe in being prepared.


Can you not install Windows 11 on your Intel Mac? Despite what MS says, many older computers can run Win11.

The apostrophe on my keypad ,  but even ignoring the apostrophe and only using burbs won’t find it either.
My windows 10 finds it no issue.


What is the UPC/EAN and how are you searching (title field of the general filter or the add to dvd collection search)? If the former, check your settings for that field to make sure the search is set to "contains".

Hold the Ctrl key and select Refresh Online Profile List... under the Online... tab.

This just downloads the complete online profile list, you still need to Refresh Updated Profiles as usual.

Does this fix it permanently or does it need to be done every time the list needs refreshing? TIA!


Done everytime. This doesn't fix the missing incremental files from the server side.

Anyone have ane experience how long that takes these days? I submitted a new release on the 1st of May, and it's still pending..?


There's no real timeline as new profiles have taken anywhere from days to many weeks... sometimes even longer.

Invelos needs to update the program as even the Database Repair Utility does not fix this.  Maybe just updating the repair utility would help.  If they have already done that, how do I download a newer Repair Utility?  Do the developers even see this thread?


I don't think that would help as it's likely that the incremental update file isn't being generated on the server side.
