Hi there,

this is a quick one.

Why can't I add a new DVD on a shared DB Profiler? It works fine on iOS shared DB.
Am I missing a setting? (Changes are allowed!)

TIA
Darius

You're not missing anything. You can't add/change profiles via a shared database.

Hopefully in a future version.

Thank you. That's sad to hear. Can't connect the barcode scanner to the server. Hmmm.

I could, to mine, but choose not too. I want to add my dvd's downstairs but my server is upstairs.

So, I cheat and use a remote desktop session. It's not as good, but it works.

That way the barcode scanner can still be on the pc which is client.

Hi, don't mean to hijack this thread but I just need to make sure I'm not being a dingbat...

My iPhone can update my DVD Profiler server no problem.
If I'm connected to a DVD Profiler server from a client PC using the same software there is no way to add tittles to my collection from the client?

Cheers,
Rick

There's a workaround though:
- Copy your databasefolder onto a NAS (Network Attached Storage)
- Point DVDProfiler to this database using menu "File -> Open Database -> Browse..."
- Do so for all Clients

This results in a database fully accessible from all Clients, but sadly only one at a time.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?
