[RELEASE] DVDProfiler importer script - import the movie database from DVD Profiler - BigBellyBilly - 2006-10-09
Do you use the PC application 'DVDProfiler' to catalogue your DVD collection ?
Then this is the script for you, as it gives you the ability to view your own collection (XML via SMB) or any other online (alias) collection.
Also has IMDb lookup on selected title.
Basic instructions:
1) set a PC SMB share on <install dir>/DVDProfiler/
2) export XML to .../DVDProfiler/EXPORT/collection.xml
3) run script and point to the SMB share.
Should be on XBMCScripts.com soon.
Requires a post sept. XBMC build.
Thanks to those who helped me test it.
Any probs, just ask.
cheers

I'll give this a spin when I get home tomorrow looks really promising. As I am not too awful familiar with it cant comment much as yet but if it works as I think it might I have alot of my series TV shows on DVD (1 Season per DVD)... might be able to make a really good use of it.
- HarshReality - 2006-10-24
Billy, question.. it started up with the selection option (smb etc.) but its telling me I am missing Image.py.. might need to update it for ImageLib.py
- BigBellyBilly - 2006-10-24
not sure why that would be unless the ImageLib really is missing?
If it is then the xbmc.log would indicate an error stating so.
Can you run myTV or any other script that uses images ?
What build of xbmc are you running ?
DVDProfiler itself is an excellent PC app. for cataloguing collections, really easy to use. Highly recommend it (its free too)
- BigBellyBilly - 2006-10-24
sorry didnt see your sig for the xbmc build (had them turned off in user options)
but I have to point the finger first at dash: xbmc (self compiled custom) and say, try a standard T3CH build.
I've checked with several people all using different builds and it runs without a prob.

Just tried v1.2 with a 45 mb collection.xml.
It copies it to the cache then chokes on it.
After that, it continually chokes on the cache copy.
the error in the dialog box appears truncated but the gist of it is
"readfile() bbbLib.py in line 200"
- BigBellyBilly - 2007-03-28
45mb. Do you forfeit sleeping in order to watch that lot? How many films is that ?
Anyway, thats way more than I've ever tested against so its probably blowing memory as it attempts to read the whole file.
Any chance you could send me the xml so I can make changes and test against it ?
Send it to bigbellybilly AT gmail DOT com (you'll have to use a hosting service such as http://www.yousendit.com otherwise gmail will probs reject it)
Do you also upload your collection to the online service, if you do, does it work against that (as selected from startup menu) ?
Please PM/mail me your online collection ID, so I can test against that too.
Thanks for letting me know.

The collection belongs to a friend of mine. This collection file has 3382 entries. I peeked into your code, it is definitely going to chew through more memory than is available. I didnt look at how it parses the data, but I would assume we are looking at storing the original complete file plus the parsed data, however much that would be.
He doesn't have an online collection. I emailed you a rar file if you want to check it out.
- BigBellyBilly - 2007-04-04
I do have an idea how to fix it. I didnt get the file to gmail - try http://www.yousendit.com method as that just send a link.
thanks

Great script but i got a request.
I use it with my online alias
Is it possible to change the http://www.intervocative.com/dvdcollection.aspx/alias
to http://www.invelos.com/dvdcollection.aspx/alias?
This is their new site.
Thanx in advance.
- BigBellyBilly - 2007-06-25
All to be taken care of in next release. thanks for the interest.

Hi.
I'm working on DVDProfiler script to accomodate v3 and the new hosting site of http://www.invelos.com
I need some help with the new site as I dont have a registration and it limits upload to 50 titles.
Seems that the cover images come from this URL
http://www.invelos.com/mpimages/50/<cover_id>f.jpg
Im unsure if the /50/ in the URL is the same for all users or is that just for unregistered accounts?
If you could view your online collection then look at the Properties of a cover image to check, that would be a big help.
Thanks
- BigBellyBilly - 2007-07-06
ignore that request, i've sussed that the subpart of the url is always the first 2 digits of the cover_id.
If someone has a full http://www.invelos.com registered account and would like to beta test it for me, please drop me a PM or mail me please.
