Topic: DVD Profiler 3.6.0 Beta is available

[Achim]

While we're on this subject, have any of you seen LMGTFY.com? It's a very clever website. Basically it very quickly helps you create a link you can send to someone who asked for tech support and it demonstrates to them how they should resolve their problem. Works every time.

Used it on a colleague once. Saw it used in a forum several times (Invelos...?). Hilarious idea!

This beta seems like all the previous ones.  Ken really impresses me, gets 98% there, then just seems to call it quits.  I've got two outstanding issues with my plug-in, but his responsiveness in the plug-in forum died a couple weeks back.  If only he'd just go that extra 2%.  I'm still hoping he'll do something about my issues, but past experience has told me that he's ready to be done and move on.

Of course that just puts us closer to the iPhone version I guess!

Please let him do an Android version too!

[MEJHarrison]

Wow, I no sooner complain about Ken's lack of attention in the plug-in forum and he finally replies to my questions! So that's great news.

But I still feel when he reaches the end of a beta cycle that it always feels like he's in a big rush to be done with it.

Try to make a request on the DVDP forum

The new, non-beta versions just went live.

Does it create a lot of conflict with PHPDVDP? Am I better to wait that Fred update PHPDVDP before installing it? I don't really want to make my online collection useless because of it...

I'd wait.

[Jimmy]

Thanks this is what I tought with the new addition. I'll download it and wait before installing it.

I installed the second or third to last beta and only then realized that now my phpDVDProfiler will be unusable for a while Fred, I understood, is even rather busy with real life, hence the new version may take a while.

That's why I never do the beta test, it seems to had some fun new stuff in this release like the custom collection and the trailer thingy (even if I find completly stupid that it depend on YouTube and not our hard disc, of couse my internet speed connection is what make it useless¹). But my online collection relied a lot more on PHPDVDP than the one on invelos since 60% of my stuff aren't in the database, so it's really important for me to not take chances with the new released and wait. Of course, I hope it won't be too long of a wait...

1. Without forgetting that YouTube doesn't allow nudity wich is the reason why I deleted my account. Considering the kind of movie I own it sounds even more like a bad idea to me (I'm sure I ain't the only one, but I decided to stop loosing my time with this useless fight on the DVDP forum a long time ago )

To the rescue here I come:

Transform your 3.6.0 XML format back to the 3.5.1 format: http://doena-soft.de/dvdprofiler/3.6.0/Convert360XMLTo351XML.zip

[DJ Doena]

I had to bugfix it. I wrote the output file in the wrong encoding (UTF-8 instead of Windows-1252). Please re-download.

If your XSDs are correct, the new XML output doesn't seem to record overlapping collection types and their properties.

I also noticed that there is already a hotfix (Repair Tool) that doesn't seem to be part of the official download yet. I guess, I will still wait a few days before upgrading to 3.6.

Yup, it does not. I requested it in the beta phase but he didn't implement it.
