| | Posted: | | | | I have purchased this product due to reviews that you could easily create a .csv file to import into the harmony remotes. However, now the only option is xml, and it is nearly impossible to get the disc location/slot correct. Please help.  |

Check the plugin section, I think someone made one to export to csv. I have downloaded the available ones, maybe I am missing something. Is there another location other than ->downloads>plugins? |

| | Posted: | | | | Mithi created some XLST's. With one of them you can easily convert the XML output to CSV
His site is http://www.dvd-welt.de/privat/xsl.html

If you need help adapting the csv.xsl just post exactly how the CSV has to look to be importable to the Harmony. cya, Mithi PS And by the way, the CVS-Export of 2.x didn't export Slot and Location, so the possibilities with XML/XSLT are even wider! | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | Actually I don't believe there is anything he could do with a CSV and a Harmony. I have one too (885), but never saw any feature allowing me to upload a CSV with any kind of movie data...
But I'm willing to learn, Fred please post here, what you do with the CSV on your Harmony... |

I have to ask Why? Well, as I have neither a Harmony nor a DVD-Changer I can only gaze in my crystal ball ... But imagine you could browse thru the DVD-titles on your remote and the remote knows which DVD-change-slot to play ... sounds good to me. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | not familiar with dvd changers on the Harmonys, but I used to use the Harmony to control my 20 disc CD changer, and it had the ability to select CDs by artist/title. The changer has since been replaced by a Slim Devices Squeezebox. |

PS And by the way, the CVS-Export of 2.x didn't export Slot and Location, so the possibilities with XML/XSLT are even wider! WOW thanks a lot. The csv is to be in this format. Genre,Title,Index Unused,Kill Bill,11 Unused,Jackie Brown,12 Unused,Pulp Fiction,13 Unused,Resevoir Dogs,14 I would think index = slot |

But I'm willing to learn, Fred please post here, what you do with the CSV on your Harmony... When you go to the logitech program, and select a dvd changer, there is an option to set up media. On that screen, you can manually enter the discs and location or you can select to upload a csv file. |

I have to ask Why? because you can use the harmony, to select a dvd by title and the macro will actually control the dvd changer and load the appropriate disk. |
