It's on the way.


It hasn't arrived yet.

Yep, realized. First thought it was a antivirus that blocked it, but it seems to be the size of the file.
This evening I'll split the data and retry.

Seems it worked now.

In your wish list there is a DVD with the title "Julia". In it the producer François Marquis has an invisible character (control character) before the ç. If you edit that name and step through letter by letter with the cursor key, then you will probably notice that the cursor doesn't seem to movie once between n and ç. Just delete this character and export again.

A similar problem persists in the overview to "Die dunkle Gabe". There is an invalid character between "zu sein" and "und sie" (an arrow).

After these two changes it should work.

Is there a way to reassign collection numbers automatically, like DVD Profiler?

Never had the need for it in CCViewer, because I always import the collection from Profiler. That would mean you would have to set setting like the "None" collection number flag again in Viewer etc.
I am not sure if the effort is worth it to put in this feature.

If I need to delete one or more old titles - for example, number 63 and 98 of +500 - from my collection, in DVD Profiler I simply use the reassign feature to eliminate the gaps. Considering this scenario in CCV, this could be an alternative, instead always import all collection (or the number-altered titles) when this situation occured.

I hope I was clear in my comment

Yes, it's clear what you mean.
I just thought that the usual use-case is, that the users of CCViewer regularly sync (i.e. import from) with DVD Profiler. So I never thought that the effort to implement this (which is not little) is worth it.

I don't know if you use uncredited roles for crew members like I do. For cast members, if has uncredited roles in it, CCV interprets correctly the import file from DVD Profiler, adding the select mark in "uncredited".


For uncredited roles from crew member instead, this happens:


Although it's much more convenient import from DVD Profiler, this means I was manually set all the uncredited crew for all profiles. A hell of experience.

If there was a way to CCV automatically convert "(uncredited)" in crew members like it does for cast, I would be happy.

Thank you!

As Profiler does not support uncredited crew (via a flag) I never thought of handling them. It should be easy to implement this and I will do it for the next version.

For now, if you do not mind that the "(uncredited)" appendix stays in the role field, you can set the uncredited flag for all profiles with the following SQL query:

UPDATE CastCrew SET IsUncredited = true WHERE IsCast=false AND Role LIKE "*(uncredited)"

Thanks again for this new version. It's just working fine!
Here I am with another question: Is it possible to export the infos from Event/Review tab of episodes profiles? In the Export -> TV Series Collection File, the xml file generated do not carry these informations, as well the "Regular" [flag] cast and crew.

Now, an aesthetic one: In Deviant skin, the width of the "awards" column is determined by the width of the longest award title, like the example below:



How to break these award title line in "Edit Skin" window to keep covers and awards columns aligned?

The Regular flag I forgot (or maybe I had a reason), but the other information is not exported, because I am using this export for the online pool and there this information shouldn't be included.
But I include this information in the Viewer Collection File Export. In this one, the profiles are exported with all their assigned episodes.
But if this information is needed in the TV Series Collection File, I will have to see to make this optional.

Open the file Skins\Deviant\common\deviant.js in a text editor and search for "td.propheader". At the end of the found line replace "nowrap" with "wrap". This seems to do the trick. Let me know, if this works as expected or if you notice something amiss after this change. If it works, I will include this change the next time.

For me, at least, this feature would be very useful, because I like to insert events ('watched') and reviews within episode profile instead of main series' profile. Since these informations is not exported, if I need to restore the database from scratch, all information would need to be manually entered.
