| Actually, aren't there already HTML export plugins from back in the day? Maybe CCViewer could do this? I don't have a copy anymore... | Posted: Topic Replies: 8, Topic Views: 1165 |  | Just to provide some input, as I've now been hit by this problem as well, having upgrade to a 64-bit Android system.
I think there are two different use cases that require different approaches:
A) Users who only used the app to browse their collection. To check if they own something, look up some data, whatever.
This is already possible, clumsily, via the Invelos online collection. But you have to sync that manually of course, it's hard to navigate and ugly, and it requires you to be online.
Let us assume you already have some way to sync files from your PC to Android. Then a possible way to achieve a better experience could be:
1) Automate exporting an XML of your collection via a scheduled task or maybe whenever you close DVD Profiler. This should be possible via some plug-in already, I think.
2) Automate the creation of static HTML representation from this XML. This could be a python script or whatever. Potentially, ChatGPT can generate something for us that's miles better than the Invelos website
3) Create this HTML in a folder synced to your phone (via SyncThing or any cloud drive service)
4) Automate copying and then shrinking (or not) all images (and/or thumbnails) from your collection folder into the same synced folder, allowing the HTML to reference them.
Voilà, you have an always updated, somewhat modern, offline view of your collection. Of course, one could improve this to create one page per disc with a separate overview site. It's basically a static version of phpmyprofiler without all the necessary server fluff.
B) Users who actually maintained their database via the app. Which I never understood, but oh well.
This case is both easier and harder. The only way to keep using the app is using some kind of emulation, translation or virtual environment. One possible approach could be using Tango (https://www.amanieusystems.com/home), but it seems like an overly complicated approach. The easier approach is using an android-in-the-cloud service like Genymotion (https://www.genymotion.com/product-cloud/). It is meant for testing android apps in a virtual environment and supports 32-bit apps. It should be possible to have that cloud instance connect to your local DVD Profiler database and access it in a browser. | Posted: Topic Replies: 8, Topic Views: 1165 | | Quoting njdcampbell:

Hi,
I'd like to add my DVD Profiler movies to my Letterboxd account. The standard Collection export doesn't give me the fields I need and throws up lots of errors. Has anyone developed or know of a report that could be used to do this? Thanks
I did do it, trying to remember which way exactly. I definitely created the generic letterboxd CSV format. All it needs is a Title and Year column really.
You can certainly use ProfilerQuery, or the CSV Export extension by Mark Harrison, but I think I actually used Enhanced Titles by DJ Doena (http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=784989) as it also has a Export to Excel function which already only includes titles and year. After exporting I opened it in LibreOffice, sorted by Original Title, and copied over the Title to the Original Title for every release which has an empty Original Title. That way you have one column which only Original Titles, which works best with Letterboxd. | Posted: Topic Replies: 3, Topic Views: 2979 | | | I always remove them when downloading such a profile and they highly annoy me. I would advise you not to spend any time of them, it's a waste of your free time. Enjoy life instead of fretting over such things. | Posted: Topic Replies: 9, Topic Views: 6495 | | | The Contribution Rules are very clear on this: "Use the Rating shown on the DVD cover". The only exception being listed are alternate cuts without rating which should be marked "Unrated" instead of "Not Rated" in certain countries. Under no circumstance do they allow the use of external rating information, not even for discs without a rating on the box. Sorry. | Posted: Topic Replies: 7, Topic Views: 4728 | | | Which part of the collection are you adding them to? Is it the main "Owned" tab or some custom one? Go to "Tools" > "Edit Collection Categories". You are likely using a custom category set up there and after the reinstall the checkbox "Collection Numbers" is not set. Set it, that should resolve the issue. | Posted: Topic Replies: 2, Topic Views: 2556 | |
