Watched Stats for DVD Profiler Collection
« on: April 13, 2009, 08:41:54 PM »
Based on a question by xyrano and my reply here, I created the following little XSLT script that analyzes your watched history and groups the profiles by the number of times you have watched them.

In order to use it, you must have recorded a Watched event in DVD Profiler, each time you have watched a DVD. The script supports multiple users and displays the results separately for each user.

Quote from: Sample

User: Myself

# Profiles
% of Owned
Owned
416
100%
Unwatched
7
2%
Watched Once
138
33%
Watched Twice
162
39%
Watched 3+
109
26%

Unlike my own results I posted in the other thread, this script does not distinguish between movies and TV seasons; it is strictly profile-based. If you have made heavy use of boxsets and child profiles, the results may be a little off.

Please note that this is just a quick-shot. You have to do a little work yourself in order to get it working.

  • Save the code below in a file named WatchedStats.xslt.
  • Export your DVD Profiler collection into an XML file. You can omit cast, crew and all other extra stuff to keep the file smaller.
  • Open the XML file with a text editor and insert a <xml-stylesheet> tag referring WatchedStats.xslt right before the <Collection> root tag.
  • Open the modified XML file with IE.

File WatchedStats.xslt:
Code: [Select]

Insert this line into the exported XML collection file, right before the <Collection> tag. Replace the sample path with your real file path:

Code: [Select]
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="C:\Sample\WatchedStats.xslt"?>

Open the modified XML file with IE.

Probably just me Matthias, I got this error message

You may have inserted the line at the wrong position. The top of your XML file has to look like below (except that you use your path instead of "C:\Sample"). The question marks are intentional. Also, make sure that you have copied the code exactly as given into the file WatchedStats.xslt.

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<!--DVD Profiler Collection Export-->
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="C:\Sample\WatchedStats.xslt"?>
<Collection>

I already made the first bugfix. The value for "Watched 3+" was calculated wrong and only showed the profiles watched exactly 3 times. This is now corrected.

Please save the updated code for WatchedStats.xslt again to get the (hopefully) correct results.

XML always scares me a bit, so I used Mark's "Database Query" plugin instead...

The count includes parent profiles that "cannot be watched". I use child profiles for TV series (to have better watched-tracking) which increases the unwatched number slightly unproportional.

Yes, I do think I should have rented more and purchased less :P

Huh? I didn't know Mark's program could do that. And the description on his website doesn't indicate it. Could you explain a little?

I do find these numbers a bit surprising. Same with the ones that posted on the other forum. The number of DVDs watched more than once is staggering low.

It's just that I enter the watch info only since december 2007. So the results don't represent at all what I've really watch...
