Using the \Covers and \Images folders.

I've generated a WEB site for 3,388 DVDs using DVDpedia. The site is broken down into Genres for ease of searching. There is a main WEB page which controlls access to each of the Genre sub-directories: Action, Adventure, Thriller, Science Fiction, ..., etc. When generating the WEB sites from DVDpedi...

Hi Connor

The import went 99% perfectly for 3,400+ titles! Locations are there! Summary is filled in! And the Notes field was imported.

I'm e-mailing you a zipped archive of the Profiler XML export for you to use as a reference.

Again, thanks for your help

John

Hi Conor

I'll prepare the XML file and send it to you ... it's about 40 megs. It has nearly every permutation of information you'd expect ... manually entered movies, Notes for episodes, Location Numbers, etc.

Thanks for all your help

Funny to answer one's own post but the answer is ... yes! I programmed a script which updates the info.xml export from DVDpedia from the collection.xml export from DVDProfiler, which contains my requisite Location values, and also the Summary field values I want to use. The file re-loaded into DVDpe...

Playing Movie Trailers from HDD

I have over 800 movie trailers stored on a HDD which are compatible with QT. Within a WEB page, I have used both the <a and <embed> methods of playing the movies. Can I put a reference to the movie, say, \\Movies\Trailers\***.mov, in the link field and use the [Link:Name] or [Link:URL] tag to refere...

Modifying DVDpedia XML

As my own follow-up to my question about a very collection ... I've successfully imported the 3,400+ movies into DVDpedia, let the auto-update feature fill in the Summary and other fields, modified a couple of hundred DVDs for the appropriate Location Field - Custom Field One. I then backed up the D...

Large Large Collection

I have a rather large collection ... 3,418 DVDs catalogued with DVDProfiler 2.5. I've exported the collection to XML, and further modified the XML file to split into 100-DVD chunks for ease of import. With so large a collection, I've used the DVDProfiler field "Location" to record just whe...
