Yes, it is decided this way. This thread doesn't want to dispute that.
It aim is to see, how everyone personally prefers it. Do you use the parent data or the child data?

Thanks Tom, that's exactly what I meant.

I didn't mean/want to alter rules in regards to how credits are in profiles, just how people prefer them.

Parent-level in Profiler for me.
Episode-level then in CCViewer.

the same way I do

I can understand that. But how do you track when you have listened to an AC? Or watched a featurette? Do you want to create profiles for them, too? (Rhetorical question)

Full-blown profiles for content items are overkill and clutter the database unnecessarily. Maybe someday DVDProfiler will come up with a better way to handle this. Until then, I'm using an external DB to keep track of content items and watched times.

Child profiles are available, so I use them fr that purpose (only). I am not creating any and don't intend to... And I am actually trimming them down, as I only need them to track the watched status (so no, Cast and Crew, no Genres, etc.), only the few things needed for the disc-level.

I am planning to track the AC via Tags (I used to listen to them right the next day, but haven't done so in a long time, so I am very backtracked on that...), but no need for Featurettes, those get usually watched immediately...

From the rules:

"Complete Series/Season & Anthologies of Episodes – List all Cast Members for a TV Series appropriately. Use the Divider feature to indicate episode divisions.

Individual profiles for each disc may be submitted if desired, but this is not required. Add these profiles to the box set contents of the parent profile. When submitting a change to an existing TV series profile that is currently a box set, do not remove the existing contents.

In either case, the cast and crew are to be entered into the parent profile using appropriate episode dividers."




So, where do you prefer the cast/crew to be located in? The parent or child profiles or both?

Personally I like them in the parent profile. That way I can have them all in one profile. Also I don't need to download the child profiles (with all the TV series there are likely hundreds of child profiles) since these child profiles take up more room.

Take note that it was a 50-50 split.

I like them in the child profiles, because I have overviews for each episodes, but if there just in the parent profile I can alway cut and past them.
