Hey guys, I need your help, After building a new pc, I had to reinstall windows to another machine, Sadly after doing this my back up hdd corrupted and I lost everything.    Anyway, I've managed to reinstall DVD profiler, using my login name and got my reg key back. However I'm trying to redownload my list from your website, as it was backed up on there as well. For some reason when i try to download my machine only downloads 288 dvds, dispite there being 531 on my onlline profile. Is there anyway I can get my machine synced with my online profile correctly, or am I going to have to reinput the missing dvds again???

Please help anyone.

Nope, I click on download, it shows up as computer collection 289 online collection 531, do you want to overwrite etc, say yes, goes to downloading profile, seems to work fine, says download complete, But it still hasnt updated it to full collection. Will try database repair, and see what happens

don't think so, Ive looked in options, and all adults titles are allowed and no parential control is on. Also cleared all filters

Is it always the same 288 profiles? Maybe there's a problem with either profile #288 or #289 that's causing the download to terminate. If the profiles are downloading in a certain order (compared to your online collection) hopefully you should be able to work out which one it's stopping at.

well just tried installing on another machine, That one only downloaded 285 dvds, Sod it, looks like im doing it the hard way.

Ok, finished. I'm looking at a database of 529 profiles, about 5 of which didn't download, but basically I built your database within 98% in about 1/2 hour, all automated. So, if you wanna try it, good luck.

Here is the code that I used to extract the profile IDs from the HTML source of your online list: (you don't need this - just posted in case somebody was wondering about it)

using System;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Data;
using System.Collections;

namespace ReadSource
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string fn = "C:\\Users\\MediaDogg\\Desktop\\profilelist.txt";
            if (args.Length > 0) fn = args[0];
            if (File.Exists(fn))
            {
                string source = File.ReadAllText(fn);
                int hit = -1;
                int pos = 0;
                string upcs = "";
                upcs = "Profile ID\r\n";
                hit = source.IndexOf("A HREF=\"DVD.aspx?U=");
                while (hit > 0)
                {
                    pos = source.IndexOf("\"", hit + "A HREF=\"DVD.aspx?U=".Length);
                    if (pos > 0)
                    {
                        upcs = upcs + source.Substring(hit + "A HREF=\"DVD.aspx?U=".Length, pos - hit - "A HREF=\"DVD.aspx?U=".Length)+"\r\n";
                        source = source.Substring(pos + 1);
                        hit = source.IndexOf("A HREF=\"DVD.aspx?U=");
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        hit = -1;
                    }
                }
                File.WriteAllText("C:\\Users\\MediaDogg\\Desktop\\upcs.csv", upcs);
            }
        }
    }
}

Edited with minor improvements. The file profilelist.txt is created by pasting the contents of right click/view source of the HTML page from an online listing of profiles. The only part that is needed is that big glob in the middle with all the profiles, but it doesn't hurt to cut/paste the whole page.

I guess many people can't compile this, so I will put an executable on my web site or maybe fold it into BulkEdit someday.

I had the same issue.  Have 157 online, but only downloaded 45 or so.  I asked to perform a download a few more times and now up to 49.


I noticed it says I have 49 in my DB but 48 are filtered.  Cleared all filters and still says same thing.  Exported to xml and looked at it Excel, and there seems to be a blank record.  Maybe this is confusing the download and stops after 49?

Are you starting with opening a fresh new database? If not, perhaps try that. Are you saying that you have absolutely no backup????? I hope you are not saying that.

- If you have a backup, restore the backup to a fresh new database.
- If you don't have a backup, but you do have a collection.xml, you can load using BulkEdit into a new database, then do a refresh. (although I haven't done much testing on 3.5.0 1240).
- If you have no backup and no saved XML, then you can re-create the database from a list of profile IDs, as in my prior post. You only have about a hundred to enter, but if you want that little program I wrote, send me a PM with your email address. It strips out all the profile IDs from a saved copy of the online HTML page, and makes a file that you can import with BulkEdit, followed by a refresh.

Of course you lose all personal info, except with importing collection.xml, which does preserve personal info.

Edit: Got your PM. I ran the program against your web listing and pasted the file into my reply. Good luck.

Edit: Subsequently got this nice PM in return:

Thanks for your help!  That worked great!  I have a new database.  Not many people would have gone to the trouble of gathering my data for me!
