any update on this? Just moved to a mac and would prefer not to run DVD profiler in parallels. But I've been using 3.0 and want to be able to import via xml.
DVDpedia can import the 3.0 Beta XML file from DVD Profiler. Remember to also add an IMAGES folder as well in the same location as the XML file to import the covers. If you have any problems with the XML import do let us know and send us the file as well as two or three sample covers so that we can test it out.
The demo version does not limit any import capabilities. It could be that DVD Profiler made some changes to the XML with the final release of 3.0, we built the importer on the beta version of 3.0, so please send us the XML file via email if it does not work, so we can update the importer.
FYI here is a note from the release notes of DVD profiler 3.0.3 (the one I'm using)
The XML export system has been completely rewritten and is now fully standards-based. Changes in the format may require updates to third party tools that read this XML.
ok, the import works now but I can't get images still. Tried converting the xml to UTF-8 (lots of different flavours and line breaks) but still no joy.
Anyway its only 96 discs (sold most of my DVDs to go to HD) so I'll just drag those across.
High, new to the forum. After 18 years of WinPC crap I bought my first Mac (Blackbook) back in July. I had been using DVDProfiler for a few years on my WinPC. On August 20th I downloaded and installed DVDPedia. It imported my DVDProfiler v.303 collection.xml and images fine so I bought/registered DVDPedia. A couple weeks ago my macbook failed (black screen) and sent it in for repairs. I got it back with a new hard drive and fresh OS X install. I reinstalled DVDPedia yesterday and tried inporting from the exact same DVDProfiler collection.xml file and images I had imported from before but this time only the images get imported but all data fields are empty. I tried from a copy of that same collection.xml I had backed that had not been used to import from but got the same results. I uninstalling DVDPedia using appzapper and resinstalled DVDPedia and tried importing again but get the same results. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nothing should have changed with he DVD Profiler import. But please email us the file and two cover images so that we can run the import and find out why it's leaving out the movie data but getting the images.
