If someone is interesting to write a plugin or something, you could also use the TV data, which can be exported on episode basis from my Cinematic Collection Viewer. Also, if you have the episodes assigned to a profile, the episode data will be included on profile basis in my Viewer Collection File export.
If you need a way to get the cast and crew data first into episode basis from a Profiler season set profile into CCViewer, you can try my script which is available in CCViewer via File->Update->Other data...

Hey you made my day.

Let me count the ways: (there are 4 - wait for them all, as I will incrementally update this post to try and avoid the Invelos edit error)

(1) Flag one or more profiles, then use Collection\Flagged\Clone To Manual

  I only tried flagging one profile and so only got one manual, it never occured to me to try flagging several - yep, it works!

Quote:
(2) Flag one or more profiles with lots of discs, then use Collection\Flagged\Clone Children from DiscIDs

OK, don't have that many profile with many discs, but good to know there is an alternative.

Quote:
(3) Create one or more manual profiles, flag them, then Collection\Flagged\Clone to manual. Do it again and get 2x, again = 4X, etc. You will large numbers of profiles fast.

I'm sure it works, but I think it will be easier to do it the oldfashioned way by using "Add Profile" and "Don't download from Invelos".

(4) Use BulkEdit Load XML and Validate. It will load just about all of an official DVD Profiler exported XML Collection. But it will also load a minimal version, where you can either specify Manual IDs, or BulkEdit will create them for you.

Here is a minimal 1-DVD, 1-disc collection:

If you don't know how already, Mithi can show you how to create this XML from anything, such as a CSV file, using XSLT.

Sorry, but this sounds very complicated, not sure I know what you mean.

Quote:
(5) I lied. Ther is another way in the works. BulkEdit CSV import has been nearly re-written and is sitting on the shelf for completion and testing. Maybe you shouldn't wait for it though ... 

I'm not so naive as to think these are the only ways - just the ones that come to mind using BulkEdit. DVD Profiler has so many features, we might be overlooking sometthing else that is in the product. If so, somebody will tell us soon.

Many thanks for your help, I think I will use your first suggestion in the future - although I am sure the last one is the most elegant solution - for a programmer

Made my day again. 2 for 2! I'm glad it worked out!

I'm afraid I don't get the script to work, it always gives me "Active X Component can't create object" error even after successfully registering AutoItX3.dll.

This script doesn't use AutoItX3. It uses the Automation DLL for Viewer database. This DLL should already be installed if you have my Awards plugin installed. Otherwise it is also available via File->Update->Other data...

Oh it is there - I just mentioned it because it appeares in the troubleshooting section on your page, I honestly have no idea where the error message belongs to

The trouble-shooting entry was for a old feature of my old Cast & Crew Editor for DVD Profiler 2.
If it's not because of the missing CCVControl.dll, it could be because of a missing MSXML3.dll in windows\system32.
Does it mention the line of the script where it fails?

Line 27, Item 1, Code 800A01AD

Quoting TomGaines:

This is the line where the Viewer Automation DLL is called. This means that the CCVControl.dll is probably not correctly registered.

OK, will check tomorrow and report back.

Are you using my Awards plugin? If yes, is it working?

Starting this morning I get the following error message when typing anything in a search field in DVDP. It began after updating some Watched stats.



Edit: Error clears after restarting DVDP. I don't know what could have possibly triggered the error, as I wasn't even using the Plugin when the error occurred.

Smells like a memory leak.

I think BE does some work at certain events such as DVD select. I will review that code.
