Topic: DVD Profiler Awards/Episodes Plugin

[Tom]

How it is working is in the readme. And no, of course it doesn't change anything in the profile.
This plugin is called Cinematic Collection Viewer Plugin for a reason (even though it is mainly used as award plugin by most). It serves as a connection to the Cinematic Collection Viewer database. And any change you make with my plugin, is only done there. Nothing is done in the Profiler database.

And I think if you see what the episode handling does, it would be for great use for you.
I always said that I don't like the episode handling in DVD Profiler. This is one of the reasons that I still maintain the CCViewer. Now I brought some of the features of it to DVD Profiler.

[Tom]

Here the excerpt from the readme:

Episode handling:
1) You can download TV series data via "Tools->CCVPlugin->Online Update TV Series..."
2) Assign episodes to a profile ("Tools->CCVPlugin->Assign Episodes...", or via context menu in main collection list)
3) Open the windows "Episodes", "Cast (CCV)" and "Crew (CCV") via "View->Windows" and place the windows where you like
4) Click on episode will now show cast and crew of this episode. And also additional info in Info window ("View->Windows->Info")
5) You can edit additional infos of episode via context menu in episode list

Additional Infos:
You can edit additional infos for profiles ("Tools->CCVPlugin->Edit Additional Info...", or via context menu in main collection list) and for episodes (context menu in episode list).
Additional Infos are shown in Info window ("View->Windows->Info")

OK... I see I looked in the wrong place for the windows. I was thinking html windows instead of regular windows... will see what I can figure out now.

[Tom]

One possibility would be that I would go the other direction: Offer less but without Viewer database.
I.e. no episode specific watched dates and additional info. And no episode data from my online pool. But simply parse the cast and crew from the Profiler profiles and create a episode list with episode specific cast and crew. But then nothing more would be possible.

[addicted2dvd]

OK... Don't really care for the cast and crew per episode as I have no problem with the main cast and crew windows.... so having that info in 2 places... what am I missing... why do I want it. And replacing the cast and crew sections already used don't work for me as I can't see the cast/crew headshots or click on the names to bring up their other work and such. I hope I am not sounding bad here... I am really just trying to understand it all.

The one thing I do see as maybe a little useful is the additional info field... only problem is I really don't know how much I would actually use it.

I am wondering if I am just not seeing the main use of the plugin. The awards part makes complete sense to me... the new addition. I don't know. Maybe I just don't get the point of it all. Because of that please don't go just by me here. as I really still not 100% seeing the point of what I am looking at.

Who knows... maybe if I could understand it... and actually see it working I would love it. I just can't seem to see it at this point.

[Tom]

As it is currently only part of the info and features from CCViewer it may be not fully useful to those not using CCViewer.
In CCViewer you still can see headshots (which are maintained outside of Profiler database) and you can see their other work. Down to episode level.
Depending on other feedback I may go further and make it more useful in the plugin version.
Regarding the additional info: In CCViewer I maintain for example links (Wikipedia, IMDb, link to my review here) and my actual review (which then is automatically integrated into my review template). Of course these would be much more useful if my skin functionality (HTML window which can generate for example the review template using the additional info), SQL queries (with which I generate my monthly and yearly lists of my reviews based on the review links set via additional info and my episode specific watched dates) and a better info display are implemented in the plugin. All of which are further features I would plan to bring to the plugin.
What there is now is just the first step.
Of course if there is no interest in it, I will continue concentrate solely on the CCViewer, which I am mainly using.
