Hi All,

I have created some time ago an online version of the dvdprofiler program. It uses the dvd profiler xml file and imports it into a mysql database.

The online version includes:
* Interface like dvd profiler.
* Basic search options like dvd profiler.
* User management including user/pass, ip login, history.
* Favorite list, users who visit your collection can add/remove titles to a custom favorite list. That list they can print/email.
* Statistics like how many disks of a genre, year and price information per genre/jear/month. Also total stats.
* Two layout, one like the dvd profiler program for high speed internet connections and a simple interface for low speed internet.
* Also included a mobile search page so you can check your collection online on any phone/pda with an internet connection. I use this in stores if i don't know or i have the title already or not.



Image 1: Default interface


Image 2: Default interface, now with Cast info instead of Overview


Image 3: Default interface, blu-ray title with Back Image and Discs overview.


Image 4: Statistics, Amount by genre and total overview on the bottom.

I'm looking for somebody who wants to continue the programming to finish the program. I use it myself for my collection but because the limit of time i have, i cannot continue the work it requires to finish. But if there is somebody who wants to continue it, please contact me.

Greetings,
Piet van Stralen

Ummm, Piet. Do you have Invelos' permission for this. it looks to me like you are treading on dangerous ground, legally speaking, DVDProfiler is copyrighted and is the property of Invelos Software.

That thought popped into my head also.

We don't know the full details but Ken is already working on something like this.

Quote:

DPO Plus
# Developed in Adobe Flex Builder 3

# Flash-based access to your DVD Profiler Online account in real-time

# Make direct changes to your collection (add/remove/move/personalize, etc)

# Features and interface designed to be used from normal PCs and HTPCs

# This will be a subscription service, with a very nominal yearly fee

# Future releases of this service will incorporate more and more of the desktop features

pietvs... you may get crapped on from the naysayers here but I commend you for taking the initiative to work on something that almost everyone on here has been begging for and, coincidentally, been waiting on now for what seems ages. DPO Plus has been dangled in front of our noses like a carrot for months now... I stopped holding my breath and now use phpdvdprofiler for my online collection and I'm quite happy with the results.

Besides I think your idea is just an extension and enhancement of the main program using the .xml like other programs do and yet I don't see any of the other plugin developers getting flamed. If yours works and is liked by the Profiler community it would seriously dent the subscription base for the DPO Plus... should it ever decide to manifest itself, so of course they are going to attack your ingenuity.

I will concede that DVD Profiler has been by far the best solution for DVD cataloging software to date and for that very reason I believe that Ken has become complacent  with further development of the product. Perhaps a little competition wouldn't hurt.

Looks damn fine Hopefully it will become available to the public.

As for what others have said, it doesnt really do anything that other Online collection things arent doing. Though asking Ken wouldnt hurt. E.g. DVD Profiler Companion used to make html collection from any layout of choice. But it hasnt been updated since IVS changed to Invelos. Looked like that: http://www.mimiuchi.fi/dvd/

As you can see, it has any layout of choice, filters and generally had the same goal as this one. Having a replica of your collection online in the same format.

I mean programming languange  PHP, ASP, Flex...

By the way: My CCViewer program does have an HTML Export similar to the one that DVD Profiler Companion had.
The result looks like this

loading times for searches etc. are one of the biggest problems in phpMyProfiler.

Just on the slight chance that you don't, do you have indexes on any field specified on the where clauses of the queries?
