I used the free version of 2.4 for a long time, i bought 3, and when i did an import from the database back up, after this is did a cover image refresh, and it did not find like 5 to 10 of the covers for my movies, has anyone else experanced this?

I have nearly 900 DVDs in my collection.  I owned the full version of 2.x, and 99% of my DVDs had high-resolution cover scans.

When I upgraded to v3 and did a cover scan refresh, it gave me an error on roughly 20% of my discs.

What's going on here????  How do I refresh the 200 or so discs that are missing covers????

If you wanted to keep your scans from 2.x version, you shouldn't make a refresh of all cover after the import of your backup and keep your old. So you kept your hi-quality covers.

Thanks. I'll try doing an import of the backup again.

so then my question would be can i use my new code on the old 2.4 to get the high res scans, re export it and then import back into 3 and then upload all the ones that i found missing?? because i did not buy it untill version 3

Darryll,

I don't know which possible legal entanglements or others there might have been with that specific part.
But I'm quite sure Ken Cole knew that the replication of the IVS Database would be a strong marketing argument for 3.0. So, if that hasn't happened, there must have been some very valid reasons for that, as Ken would (obviously) like to have all possible money-generating arguments with him.

Since that was not possible, it was decided by invelos to go ahead with an empty database, trusting that the community would respond, and rebuild it in thanks for keeping the old licences valid in this new program from this new company (we payed IVS at the time, so invelos is just giving us their product for having bought the IVS one), and for all the nifty new features.

Rebuilding the database from scratch at this moment is actually a Good Thing (TM), as the IVS database was highly bloated and filled with erroneous profiles that only crippled it (performance wise).
In this way we'll get a much better (and more accurate) database.

This user community (yours), has, in about a week, inserted 73 416 dvd titles, providing practically all the major titles in all DVD regions worldwide. So, in a short time, we'll have it bigger and better.

I guess it clearly shows, even in such a short time, that we're not trying it. We're actually doing it! (thank you Master Yoda).

Cheers,

Houston, we have a problem...This really sucks. You need to work out a database sharing arrangement with Intervocative. The images have been uploaded there, but are not available for download from the Invelos database...

I imagine one of the main problems is that the profile reference codes e,g, EAN is different format between v2 and v3 programs. And there wouldn't be a way of only transferring the correct profiles to the new server - so we would have loads of crap transferred over.

So, you'll have users continuing to submit to Intervocative, perhaps a considerably larger user base than that aware Invelos and v 3.x.

Have you checked for contributions to 2.5 recently? I haven't seen anything for me to vote towards for at least a week.

I just checked and for my list of 1750+ DVDs there is one pending profile.

You may find that many (might be most) of the active contributors have moved here.
