But I still don't understand why you can't use the main profile for the 2008 watched stats and the child profile for the 1951 watched stats? Why do you need a 3rd profile for the 2008 film?

Yes, I actually just figured that out. I am going to do it that way I just think it looks better having a blank parent with the children having the discs.

This will have to do until someone uploads a child profile.

OK then - you want the parent profile to be mostly blank and the child profiles to contain the data - why not create a manual profile for the parent profile and add the UPC profile for the 2008 version and the disc ID profile for the 1951 version as child profiles?
That way you'll still get the updates on the profile containing the film info.

Then in the future the child profile of the 2008 movie will not be updated properly becouse Invelos will not recognize the manual id, I think the rule is flaud in this way, when you have two seperate movies like this and one day I watch the 1951 release and the next the 2008 release that is TWO differant movies and therefore should show two movies in my watched statistics the way it is set up now that cannot be done properly.

This title and I beleive some of the combo titles like Bolt need seperate id's and upc for this reason. If I watch the blu ray of Bolt one day and my daughter watches the dvd the next day thats is two differant releases and two differant watched stats of the same movie.


The rule was setup this way because not everyone wants an empty parent profile for a single movie release that comes with another movie as a bonus.  Look at the long Ben-Hur thread and you will see some of the arguements against profiling these as standard box sets.  So what Ken did was to allow us to profile these additional feature films and add them to existing release for those of us that wanted to profile the additional feature film.

Sounds like Northbloke's suggestion would work best for what you are needing to do.
