Since Ken will never be available to modify the rules again, we have to operate on what makes the most logical sense.
I totally agree. The reason for my question was that I was about to make a contribution where I replaced an incorrect overview with the overview from the back cover of the boxset (which did not include a list of the contents). Then I checked the rules and I became uncertain of how others interpreted the rule. So I thought I'd check here.
Now it seems that my original interpretation is in fact what you all also think, so I can go ahead with my correction. Thanks! | Posted: Topic Replies: 17, Topic Views: 9910 |

Well, that is certainly what I would like the rule to say.
However, your interpretation makes the entire first sentence superfluous. By your reading of the rule, if there is an overview it should be entered as is, regardless of if it contains a listing of the contents or not.
I have a feeling that Ken may have meant it the way you read it, but he complicated it and made it ambiguous. | Posted: Topic Replies: 17, Topic Views: 9910 |

Quoting the rules:
Quote:
If the box set cover contains a listing of contents with brief descriptions of each, enter it directly into the Overview field. If there is no overview on the cover, an overview from an included booklet may be substituted. Otherwise, enter an itemized listing of the contents only, without descriptions.
Does this mean that if there is an overview, but it does not list the contents, this overview should not be used, but instead just a listing of the contents without descriptions? | Posted: Topic Replies: 17, Topic Views: 9910 |

One thing to note is that if you intend to import your movie ratings from DVD Profiler, and your PC's regional settings specify decimal comma rather than decimal point, then you may have a problem, because Letterboxd expects numerical values with decimal point.
I haven't tried Enhanced Titles, so I'm not sure if it can force export with decimal point. My guess is that it can't. I know that ProfilerQuery can not.
But the again, this won't be a problem if you're in a "decimal point country" (or if you're willing to fiddle with your regional settings). | Posted: Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 3703 |

You could use ProfilerQuery. Run a query with the required fields, then Save result to file, which will create a CSV file. Then edit the file to add the appropriate column headings.
One thing, ProfilerQuery saves with semicolon as field separators. Letterboxd needs comma separated fields. So either use a text editor to change all semicolons into commas, or load the CSV file into a spreadsheet and re-save specifying comma separators. And with 1200+ profiles, you might consider splitting the CSV file into several smaller parts. Just make sure you add column headings to each part.
Note though, that with just Title, Production year (and possibly Director) to identify the movie, it will be a bit of hit and miss, so check the summary before completing the import.
Feel free to PM me if you get stuck. | Posted: Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 3703 |

Just FYI, I did some looking up on these names, and I found 125 (2236) sound type credits for Richard L. Anderson and 21 (302) sound type credits for Richard Anderson. Number of credits broken down as follows:
Richard L. Anderson: Sound Editor (211), Sound Re-Recording Mixer (4), Supervising Sound Editor (2022)
Richard Anderson: Sound (1), Sound Editor (79), Supervising Sound Editor (222)
So Richard L. Anderson would seem to be a good candidate for common name. | Posted: Topic Replies: 10, Topic Views: 9053 |

Thanks T!M,
That explains the mismatch that I saw. I didn't realize that the CLT was ”ahead” of the database files. That's a bit unfortunate as it makes it harder for me to verify that my program counts things correctly. | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 4276 |

| Ok, I wonder if T!M updated more than one profile, because I got perhaps half a dozen mismatches. | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 4276 |

While testing one of my programs I found a significant difference between my results and the ones from the CLT. I thought I had a bug, but after a lot of debugging it seems that it is instead the CLT that is buggy.
Case in point: I searched the CLT for "Paull Walia" (note Paull with two L). One of the profiles listed by the CLT is the German release of Ocean's Thirteen, UPC 7-321982-000868. It shows Paull Walia as "Security Technician". However when I downloaded the profile to check it, I see that the name in the actual profile is really "Paul Walia" with a single L.  | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 4276 |

A few facts that probably has no bearing:
We have a Jason Griffith credited as Costume Designer in "4 Life", but IMDb list him as Jason Griffin, so that's probably a mistake in the profile.
There is a Jason Griffith listed as sound in "Barney: The Land of Make Believe" so most likely not one of the actors.
Then in the Netherlands release of "The 4400: The Second Season" there is Jason Griffiths, credited as Jason Griffith. But since all other releases of that title has Jason Griffith as Arlo, the Netherlands profile is almost certainly an error. There is an actor named Jason Griffiths, but he is not in any other 4400 release. Also, this doesn't impact the CLT result as the CLT will count the credited-as name. | Posted: Topic Replies: 28, Topic Views: 19181 |

| Since 4K is region free, you can just buy it somewhere else. A bit inconvenient, but still possible. | Posted: Topic Replies: 5, Topic Views: 4795 |

| You could probably do it with ProfilerQuery. You can save the result of a query as a CSV file (I assume that's what you meant). But you would, of course, need to know the exact format that is needed; which fields and in which order. | Posted: Topic Replies: 4, Topic Views: 4285 |

CastCrewCheck 3.0.3
Somehow the previous update introduced a bug. When editing an existing cast entry (by double clicking a row), the OK button was disabled. This has been fixed. | Posted: Topic Replies: 87, Topic Views: 37209 |

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou: Stefano Maria Ortolani (Supervising Art Director)

Quote:
I don't have a credit for him in M:I 3 or The Core. Unit crew perhaps?
IMDb lists him as "Art Director: Italy" and "Art Director: Rome" respectively, so probably unit crew. I haven't checked the actual credits, though. | Posted: Topic Replies: 22, Topic Views: 12002 |

I had posted version 5.0.5 on my website, but I forgot to mention it here. Perhaps just as well. It turned out that although it worked fine on my development PC, it crashed on some other machines.
I just recompiled the exact same source, and it worked. So if any of you downloaded 5.0.5 and had trouble with it, the fixed version is now available, zip files marked as 5.0.5a. | Posted: Topic Replies: 310, Topic Views: 40211 |

I don't think it's possible in DVD Profiler itself. You can do it with ProfilerQuery, but you get a much simpler layout, for example:
You can, of course, configure which columns to include in the report (including thumbnails).
ProfilerQuery has a bit of a learning curve in order to get a result like this. However, should you want to give it a try, feel free to PM me for tips. | Posted: Topic Replies: 1, Topic Views: 2298 |

CastCrewCheck 3.0.2
After a recent update to DJ's CastCrewEdit, the integration between CastCrewCheck and CastCrewEdit stopped working. This has now been fixed.
The previous version erroneously included support for WebView2, which was not needed, but takes up a lot of disk space. You can safely delete the subfolder named CastCrewCheck.exe.WebView2. | Posted: Topic Replies: 87, Topic Views: 37209 |

One question: the requirement not to upload IMDB data to invelos is still effective, correct?
Correct! You can use it as a starting point, though, and verify/correct the data against the actual credits. CastCrewCheck can be helpful in this regard. | Posted: Topic Replies: 624, Topic Views: 59164 |

For several days I have been having problems inserting film covers into the program with several errors (Access violation at address 0074017E in Module DVDPRO.Exe Read of Address 00000000). I need repair more times the program.
Did you try just rebooting your PC? Sometimes that helps. If not, I would suggest that you uninstall and re-install DVD Profiler. Make sure you have a backup of your collection first.

I'm not sure I quite understand your problem, but select from the menu Tools / Options / Display. Check or uncheck "Append title articles". Does that fix it? | Posted: Topic Replies: 2, Topic Views: 3060 |

I recently made an interesting discovery. I updated some profiles that were missing color information. Most of them also had some other changes; birth year, common name or whatever. But the ones that had only color information added were approved immediately.
I can only surmise that this is bug in the bot. While color info is a very simple piece of information, it's not so simple that you cannot get it wrong. I have seen that happen. So it should be voted on. | Posted: Topic Replies: 102, Topic Views: 16634 |

DvdpScheduler 2.6.8
Well, it seems that the fix in 2.6.7 didn't work quite as intended. 
Trying to watch the progress window in DVD Profiler turned out to be a little more complicated than I initially thought. I found out that the progress window is always there, only it is invisible when not needed.
If HTTPJolie is used, I no longer check the progress window, because HTTPJolie will tell me when a command file is completed. When HTTPJolie is not used, I still have to check the progress window, but now to see if it is visible or not. That seems to work.
Please note that selecting to start DvdpScheduler on Windows startup is not a good idea if you use HTTPJolie. DvdpScheduler should be started after DVD Profiler is running, otherwise it will sense that HTTPJolie is not available, and disable HTTPJolie integration.
You can start DVD Profiler and DvdpScheduler in the proper order on Windows startup by using SlowStarter. Just make sure you give Profiler enough time before starting DvdpScheduler. | Posted: Topic Replies: 49, Topic Views: 30703 |
