| | Posted: | | | | Hello there,
I'm searching now since almost one hour and I was not able to find this info, is there any way to retrieve my online collection data in an other way than using the http://dvdprofiler.com/DVDCollection.aspx page ?
Ideally in a xml/json format ?
Thank you in advance for any infos you could provide me on this subject |

| | Posted: | | | | Currently there is no other official way. Some users are working with PHP to achieve the goal. Download here: phpdvdprofiler | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | Actually, latest, freshly minted last Tuesday-version can be found hereAlternate location hereI have been woefully forgetful about keeping SH84 (owner of the originally-mentioned site) in the loop ... I'll send him an email to see if he is still interested in hosting the latest version... | | | | -fred |

| | Posted: | | | | yes I am but I would like to avoid the manual part and be able to always have up to date collection xml available online
about phpdvdprofiler I've seen it and downloaded it but what is it exactly ? is it a php version of dvd profiler with it's own database or a php interface for dvd profiler able to retrieve my collection ? |

| | Posted: | | | | More like the first, although I'm not completely comfortable with "version of DVD profiler", as Ken can't be blamed for any of it.  It takes the exported XML from the windows program, stuffs it into a database and displays from that db through a web server. HTH. | | | | -fred |

This question probably should be asked in the phpdvdprofiler forum. You'll find more people there to know the answer if there is any | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!

There might(!) be the possibility to run a local webserver on your machine and then let the phpDVDProfiler get the XML from there, but you still have to do a manual XML-export on your working-station and you would have all the work from running the webserver, so I don't think this would really be any easier. Best thing would be to script the export and the ftp-upload so it works with a single click. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

@echo off
"C:\Program Files\DVD Profiler\dvdpro.exe" /NoSplash /CommandFile="D:\dvdpCommands.txt"
ftp -s:"d:\ftpCommands.txt"
start http://<your webserver>/phpdvdprofiler/?action=update
dvdpCommands.txt Quote:
ExportXMLAll "d:\collection.xml"
Close
ftpCommands.txt Quote:
open <your webserver>
<your username>
<your password>
cd phpdvdprofiler
ascii
send "d:\collection.xml"
close
bye

| | Posted: | | | | Have you replaced all the vital data? Like your webserver, your FTP login data, your remote directory?
What happens if you run Start -> Run -> ftp.exe
and then enter the commands manually? | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | yes im pretty sure ive gotten all that, here is what i have in my CMD file:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\DVD Profiler\dvdpro.exe" /NoSplash /CommandFile="C:\Documents and Settings\Ghost\Desktop\dvdcommand\dvdpCommands.txt"
ftp -s:"C:\Documents and Settings\Ghost\Desktop\dvdcommand\ftpCommands.txt"
start http://robghost.com/phpdvdprofiler/?action=update
ftpCommand text
open robghost.com
user name (hidden for post)
password (hidden for post
cd phpdvdprofiler
send "C:\Documents and Settings\Ghost\My Documents\DVD Profiler\collection.xml"
bye
close
dvdCommands text
ExportXMLAll "C:\Documents and Settings\Ghost\My Documents\DVD Profiler\collection.xml"
Close
when i run the script it stops at the send line and doesnt upload the file however it does open my login page so that i can update the file, when i enter user/pass and hit update it doesnt find a file... should there be a command for replacing the file or will this script automaticly do that (when it works correctly)?
Also is there a way to get the script to auto log me into my update page and complete that process automatically? | | | | Last edited: by Robert Ghost |
