[RELEASE] DVDProfiler importer script - import the movie database from DVD Profiler

its nearly always a samba path / setup or PC access problem.

Ensure the PC user has full permissions on PC etc.

alternatively, enable DEBUG (in bbbLib.py) and set loglevel to 1 in xbmc's advancedsettings.xml then re-run and send me the xbmc.log

I've enabled debug = True in the bbblib.py. However, I can't find any advancedsettings.xml anywhere in the XBMC directory structure.

Is that the correct file?

I've no problems in other areas of XBMC accessing shares.

Thanks

Hi Billy,
How do I use your script? I'm new to this so please bear with my ignorance. I put the followed the information in the readme file, went to XBMC scripts, found the dvd profiler script and selected it. Then it said it installed it but I don't know what to do from there. I can't find anywhere to enter my information or where to even run the script. It doesn't show up in the list of scripts, and if I then click on the button labeled "Scripts" XBMC just goes to a blank screen. Can you help out a guy that is completely lost?

Thanks,
-Steve

The script will have been installed to the folder Q:\scripts\DVD Profiler.

Selecting the Scripts button on the xbmc home page will take you to a folder full of script icons, you click on the script icon to run it (it can also be added to your favourites by selecting the white button)

If you don't get the scripts display, I'd suggest your xbmc isn't installed corrected, you need to see help elsewhere.

This script looks to your remote PC (via a share) for all your DVDProfiler information and displays it. The readme has more detail on setup and use.

but, you need to sort out your xbmc installation first.

Hello,
Actually in dvd profiler, we can only chose to view infos from imdb. Is there a solution to change this by allocine (from france),

Thanks

imdb is the only supported online information resource.

is there a reason why you would want to use allocine instead ?

Yes !! I'm french !!

Hi BigBelly,

Very nice job ;-)

I am using the 'local' way to view my collection, but i can't launch my DVD (.ISO), where do I have to fill the location of the file ??

Thanks

DVDProfiler v3 allows you to store a 'location' against each title.

The script will append this location onto the SMB movies path you need to define in the settings.

I've done some work on the script recently, added language and self updating support, as well fixed IMDb lookup etc. should be out next week if I get the time to finish it.
