I cannot get the rating for a movie into a report. The field is left blank or contains the rating details.

Yes, I've found exactly the same since upgrading from 3.7 to 3.7.1.

All reports, regardless of which one, leave the rating field blank.

Yes, every rating field is empty.

Great, I just spent 3 hours this afternoon banging my head against the wall wondering what I screwed up.

I have one report which utilizes images instead of alpha numeric characters and that still works.

Definitely seems to be a common issue since the last update.

Let's hope it will be fixed in the next update, as I use the Reports feature quite a lot.

@FLighT: Let me guess, you used the images with the Condition "MPAA Rating" or "Rating" with "equal to" and "Rating_here"... That works fine for every rating system similar to the MPAA rating but other systems fail to work. I've tried to use "Rating" but I don't know what I should use as the value to compare with. For example, I want to show some kind of text (or image, that should not matter), if the film is appropriate for 12 year olds and older. If I use the value FSK-12 (that's the text shown in the drop down menu and DP_Rating in the Header Vars), nothing happens, I've also tried 12 (DP_RatingAge) and the DP_RatingDescription value with the same result.
And as long the rating field is empty, I cannot see what I could use as a condition...

@analogueman: Someone from the German Forum tested it with the 3.7.0 version and got the same result, so the bug seems to be older. No one noticed it until then.

Right, I do use MPAA Ratings = to. As a consequence the handful of non-US, 7 or 8 Canadian and 2 or 3 region free European disc sssues, end up with blank rating areas but out of over 700 it's just a few so I live with it.

Hopefully the alpha numerical ratings will get fixed at some point.

I started looking more closely ay my reports and noticed a problem with Audio Format Assignments as pertains to Dolby encodes not being picked up correctly. Showing up as just Doly Digital when the first listed in Audio & Subtitles is Dolby EX or Dolby Plus, or Dolby True HD. I'm going to run a few searches to see if I can find out more. Curiously, the DTS designations appear correctly? I've got more investigating to do.

Well, who needs those funny "on dead trees" reports anyway? 

Strange thing I didn't noticed before: in the old version the audio-channels are also missing. The symbol is there, but the text "Stereo" "Dolby Surround" etc aren't. Report: Invelos Classic DVD Listing

Just installed all DVD Profiler I still have at hand consecutively on a virtual machine:

3.6.1, Build 1392: Rating Yes; Audio-Channels No
3.7.0, Build 1407: Rating Yes; Audio-Channels No
3.7.0, Build 1411: Rating Yes; Audio-Channels No
3.7.0, Build 1418: Rating Yes; Audio-Channels No
3.7.0, Build 1419: Rating Yes; Audio-Channels No
3.7.0, Build 1426: Rating Yes; Audio-Channels No
3.7.1, Build 1436: Rating No; Audio-Channels No

Well, as far as I can tell the Audio Formats are not being picked up correctly on the reports either.

The HD DVD of 300 indicates on the back sleeve of the case:
Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Digital.

The Audio Tracks listed on the main Profiler Page and the Edit Profiler/Audio & Subtitles for this disc are, in order:
a. English Dolby TrueHD 5.1
b. English Dolby Digital Plus 5.1
c. French Dolby Digital Plus 5.1
d. Spanish Dolby Digital Plus 5.1

When I run any report that includes Audio Formats this disc entry comes up as:
(b.) Dolby Digital Plus (shouldn’t it be Dolby TrueHD?)
If I remove entries b, c, and d the disc entry comes up correctly as Dolby TrueHD
If I add back the b entry only the report now shows this disc entry as Dolby Digital Plus
If I reverse a and b it still shows this disc entry as Dolby Digital Plus
If I move the TrueHD entry to the bottom of the list the entry is still Dolby Digital Plus

I kept grinding on what error I was making in the process but after performing the above it appears that Audio Formats being picked up in reports is broken as well. Or am I not understanding something?

Some of us find 'printing off' a report as eco-friendly .pdf's very useful too...

3.7.1, Build 1436: Rating No; Audio-Channels No

3.7.2, Build 1442: Rating Yes; Audio-Channels Yes

Rating was fixed

The Audio-Channels worked again after I had a look at them and realized that the report-function was changed somewhen and my old reports didn't reflect that. (I was under the impression that at least the invelos reports are installed new, or did I overwrite 'em with my backup-restoring?)
Anyway, e.g. for the "Invelos Classic DVD Listing" the change is easy: edit report -> content
Now click the channels-symbol and you'll see that on the left there is a field "Display Type: Icon". If you click the adjacent "DVDAudioChnls" you see that the field ist empty, go to the field and change it to "Description" and everything is fine.

cya, Mithi
