Good day people.

I'm having a bit of a 'senior moment' this morning, so require wisdom to be bestowed upon me.

2-disc sets, (such as BD / DVD and BD / 4K BD), where two discs containing copies of the same film are contained in a simple keep case.

When compiling a profile to submit to the online database, do we also include all the information for the second disc within this profile where possible; (i.e. extra subtitles, features, etc).  (So the result is no way to automatically determine which features relate to which disc.)  Does this change if there is or isn't a child profile for the second disc?

I was doing an update for a BD / 4K BD pack just now and it suddenly felt weird to be adding so many things to the existing profile to cater for the BD disc, which aren't included in the profile at present.  (For information, it's Passengers).

I'm not a fan of child profiles, but can understand why many people appreciate their value and prefer the information that's unique to each individual disc not be combined into one profile.

Oddly, I can't remember ever actually doing a profile like this before, except for TV Box Sets, which are a different thing.  For a lot of 4K discs, many supplemental features and additional audio and subtitles options seem to only on the BD disc, so I think it's going to be a bigger issue in future.

Thanks.
Do you ever find yourself striving for perfection with an almost worthless attempt at it?  Guttermouth "Lemon Water".  Also, I include in my Profiler database VHS tapes, audio DVDs, audio books (digital, cassette and CD), video games (digital, DVD and CD) and 'enhanced' CDs with video tracks on them, as well as films and TV I've bought digitally.  So I'm an anarchist, deal with it.  Just be thankful I don't include most of my records and CDs etc in it too; don't think I haven't been tempted...

No, the profile should only contain the information from the main media type, in this case the 4K BD.

A child profile for the BD is optional and doesn't affect this at all.

However, if you do try to eliminate information from child profiles in the main 4K, it will get shot down. The only way to do this is to keep it local.

Features should be entered into the main profile.

That's why I keep them local. I want to know what's on each individual disc, not a combination of 3 or 4 discs.
