Is there any way to involve or use the UPC code? Would that help at all? We use titles now and thats great. Maybe attach a hidden field to record the UPC associated with that specific title? Just throwing out idea's.

And who would be maintaining this list of UPC and awards (there are quite a few!). This would be a local feature at best. Even then I do not think that this is a good idea. Everybody would have to assign all their movies the awards themselves.
I think the few exceptions of not displayed awards is a small price to pay to have a universally usable award database (usable across all regions and releases of the same movie).

No. It would currently either mean having to have a single extra line of data for every different UPC or adding a list/array field which could slow down the whole thing. It would also mean that files would have to be constantly updated with new UPCs and the award would not be visible for users with a different UPC. Unless you wanted to add the UPC without actually checking it's validity but that makes even less sense.

If you want to have a dvd award list this would be possible. Tom would have to adjust his plug-in (make new one) that has a upc-based database and displays awards on a upc basis. But the updating of the lists would still be horrible

Oh, I forgot. If anyone finds one his movies that should be recognized by my AFI List award file isn't feel free to send me a pm about it. I will gladly add any alternate titles / spellings and update the file

As I have often mentioned: I always welcome those corrections. Only one title is relevant for the award data pool: The title you would enter as original title according to DVD Profiler rules.

Sure, I just thought that it's actually unnecessary workload for you as you're not the actual maintainer of that file. But then again you can possibly easily add the new alias to all files

A general note: The easiest for me to update the awards is, if the person who will send me a correction or additions to an award does the following:
In Cinematic Collection Viewer download the most recent award file for this award. Make the corrections with the award editor and save/export the award to file.
This way I have it easy to compare and accept these changes to my online data pool.

Golden Raspberry Awards Winners 2007 (TomGaines)

New Version: 1.4
Now the award data has an additional field to enter the movie year. This is additionally checked to find further awards.
To edit these in the award data, the newly update CCViewer is needed.
To make use of this new feature in DVDProfiler, who will either have to create a new database or update the existing by using CCViewer.

Probably not a big deal, but I received import errors on both the MTV and Teen Choice files.  I believe MTV was line 877 and Teen Choice was 177.  Just an FYI.

Strange. I cannot reproduce this error. Are you using the current version of the plugin?
