Gunnar, is there a way to implement a query for "Widescreen" being used or not?

PS: I managed to query with a workaround, so no hassle there.


Just curious if I have misunderstood the problem. Doesn't Aspect Ratio Greater Than 1.37 do what you wanted?


Nope, I had some Blu-rays in the database which were incorrectly entered with 1.33:1 with Widescreen ticked and not with Full Frame.

Ah, on examination I believe that the Widescreen checkbox in Profiler is - for some reason - represented as "FormatLetterbox" in the XML file, and thus as just "Letterbox" is ProfilerQuery.

So, for those who would like to find incorrect Widescreen, the following will work (all found under "Format")
- Letterbox equal to True
- Aspect Ratio less than 1.38
- Aspect Ratio greater than 0

I found 20 such titles in my collection that need to be corrected.

Edit: My initial thought was less than 1.66, but I'm not sure about that. I found a few titles just under 1.66, and I'm not sure if they are supposed to be classified as widescreen.

In addition to the above, if you go into Advanced Settings and set the commands to send to
^e!f{TAB}{SPACE}{TAB}{SPACE}
then double-clicking a title will change both Fullframe and Widescreen, so if Widescreen was set and not Full Frame, you'll end up with just Full Frame set instead.

Just remember to "declaw" the command when you're done, changing it to blank or ^e, so you don't make unintended changes next time you use ProfilerQuery.

Thanks, Gunnar!

BTW, is there a way to implement querying DJs "Enhanced Features" plugin?

Perhaps. I don't use any plugins that use Custom Data, so I haven't explored the possibility.
If you can email me a sample XML file I will look into it. Make sure you check "Plugin Custom Data" when you do the export.

It just occured to me that there may be a setting in the plugin that you'll have to check, too.

Hmmm, "Plugin Custom Data" is grayed out, so no chance there.

Did you look at the settings in Enhanced Features to see if there was a setting for saveing to XML? I seem to remember something like that when I looked at another of DJ's programs a while back. You may have to enable that in order for Plugin Custom Data to not be grayed out.

Gunnar, do you need to implement the "Enhanced Features" structure to PQ or is there any other way to query the data from DJs plugin?

Bad news, I'm afraid.

I've done a bit of research, and I don't think I'll be adding any support for Enhanced Features. The whole selection/presentation mechanism in ProfilerQuery depends on a predictable naming of the XML nodes. This does not seem to be the case for Enhanced Features, i.e. the names are user configurable.

While it would not be absolutely impossible to implement, it would add a major new layer of complexity to the already complex code. At this time I'm not prepared to do that. Never say never, but don't hold your breath.

Sorry, TraunStaa!

Hmmm, a thought, Gunnar. As there are 40 possible entries in DJDoena's plug-in, isn't it just possible to name them accordingly 1 to 40 and each user can search with his own lookup table?
