DVD Profiler

by **chadwolcott** on Fri Oct 22, 2004 4:05 pm

Steven,

Would it be possible to control what fields get imported from the DVD Profiler XML? Specifically I want to be able to get the audio format information DD/DTS, etc. I am creating db fields that point to DD/DTS/THX images it would be nice if it would create the fields automatically like sound1, sound2, sound3 and I could just do a search and replace with the image path.

Even better would be to be able to specify those images for the category itself and just check a new field like DD = TRUE, DTS = TRUE...similar to the online/offline!!

Fantastic Idea I'd love this.

I agree!

send me your dvdprofiler xml file I will make it so it imports everything.

mailto:steve@xlobby.com

I could just do a search and replace with the image path.

yes you will need the image path to make this work.

But instead of doing 3 fields, why not just one. Like

sound1=C:\thx.jpg

and another movie would be
sound1=C:\dts.jpg

that's true, it could be done in 1 field but many movies have both Dolby Digital and DTS sound tracks.

I'm out traveling today, but will be back tomorrow. My xml file is about 3MB, maybe someone would be nice enough to send you one today while I'm out?

What is the status on this request, do we have XL importing all fields from DVDprofiler yet?
I would also like to be able to use some extra fileds like aspect, region, etc...

I was going to import all of the tags, but there are way to many. Tell me exactly which ones you want....from the XML FILE itself....and I will add them.

How about these (still quite a few tags)

Title
SortTitle

Thanks again
