| | Posted: | | | | I've not noticed it before, but nearly 90% of all my movies have lost their cast-listing at a time. I tried to get the info from a previous backup, but with no success; the cast-listing stays empty.
I've also tried to update from the Invelos database (profiles), no success...
Any solution to this? With more than 700 movies in the database, I don't want to re-enter all my information... |

| | Posted: | | | | First let's check if the info is really gone or if this is a display problem.
Flag a random movie that hasn't cast anymore (e.g. by pressing space)
The select File -> Export Profile Database -> Flagged Profiles.
Check the XML for cast & crew. | | | Karsten

Make a backup and then Tools -> Options -> Utilities -> Repair profile database cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

If so, you could flag the profiles in question (take a few to test it first) and go Collection -> Flagged -> Refresh that should force a refresh of those profiles. cya, Mithi PS Be aware however that this doesn't give you the usual dialog to choose what to update but mercilessly overwrites everything that is not locked!

That sure helped! Kind of boring to check approx. 470 movies/post, but absolutely worth it!
Thanks! |
