I would think index = slot


Copy the smallprint text at the end and save it to a file e.g. "harmony.xsl", get a XSLT-processor (e.g. Saxon-B, linked on my website). For easy use put the XML-export and harmony.xsl in the same directory as Saxon-B. Go to the commandline, change into the Saxon-B directory and enter:
java -jar saxon8.jar -novw collection.xml hamony.xsl > harmony.txt
Now you have the harmony.txt-file to copy to the remotecontrol.

cya, Mithi

PS The first column seems to be "genre", I included two lines commented out with <!-- --> which would get the first genre for a title instead of the "unused". You might give it a try.

Actually I don't believe there is anything he could do with a CSV and a Harmony. I have one too (885), but never saw any feature allowing me to upload a CSV with any kind of movie data...
But I'm willing to learn, Fred please post here, what you do with the CSV on your Harmony...


When you go to the logitech program, and select a dvd changer, there is an option to set up media.  On that screen, you can manually enter the discs and location or you can select to upload a csv file.

Good information. I may consider to by a changer now, as I already have a Harmony. I wasn't aware of that feature...

What do you do with a .csv file in an 880 remote?


You can import your movie list into the remote.  I have a sony dvp cx995v and 350+ dvds


For this to work though, you need to be able to have the original remote go to disc by disc number, and I didn't think you could do that with the cx995v. Are you able to do that? And if so how. Thanks.

In addition to Mithi's solution, I can also add location and slot to my CSVExport plugin.  Would you only be interested in the location/slot for the main disc in multi-disc sets or would you like to see this information for every disc in the set?  I'm not thinking so much about bonus discs but rather things like the Lord of the Rings movies where the main feature is spread across two discs or TV sets where the content is spread across multiple discs.  I guess that depends on if you load child profiles for TV sets (easy solution) or just a main profile for the set (more complicated).

Or you could just use Mithi's solution.
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

If you have a plugin, I would prefer it.  How can I get it?  Thanks a lot
