Hi there guys, I'm new and loving DVD profiler, one thing I'd like to discover though, is how many discs there are in my collection. For example, I have around 400 DVD's (cases/box sets/whatever) but I don't know how I can find out exactly how many discs reside in my collection. It would be a really handy thing to find out to be honest.

If this isn't possible in the current version, could it be a possibility for the program to generate a running total of the number discs in each entry, and show that number in the 'General Info' pane. Then surely it would be possible to then generate a grand total of discs in the entire collection as it does with the number of entries.

Just an idea, please correct me if this is already a feature. Granted not everone would find a use for such  a feature but I would love to have it there as a record of my achievement! lol.

Anyways, cheers and hope someone can help me out with my query!

When you import your collection into my Cinematic Collection Viewer, you can run the SQL query:

select count(*) from discs


Of course this number is only correct, if all the discs are added to the profiles in DVD Profiler.

Great news that I can get it working, I've installed your awards plugin and it's great. However, the CCV Viewer isn't working for me really, I don't know how to import my data, I've searched my hard drive for the correct file but I can't seem to find it anywhere and it won't work at all.

I'd love to get it to work as I know it's gonna be a fantastic resource. Great work TomGaines.

ALSO,

Is there a plugin that will actually display (in the DVD Profiler Application) the total number of 'discs' in my entire collection AND for each DVD in my collection as I click on them. e.g. King Kong: 2-Disc special edition would show - '2 Discs'?

You could ask Asphyxion in this thread to include a disc statisic in his statistic plugin.

You'll need to export your data from DVD Profiler first (in Profiler: File->Export Profile Database).
And then you can import this collection.xml file into the Viewer.

Right that works great, however, I have my collection imported but I have no images like you have in your screenshot.

Also, is there any documentation as to what the plugin actually does and what it is used for, excuse my being thick, but I just want to make the most of the CCViewer as it has a lot more information in the screenshot, information that I'd love to know!
