When using the Export Profile Database function in DVD Profiler 2, tags in xml file were labeled as FullyQualifiedName (example below)

  <Tags>
    <Tag>
      <Name>Hard Drive</Name>
      <FullyQualifiedName>Hard Drive</FullyQualifiedName>
    </Tag>

in DVD Profiler 3 the FullyQualifiedName has been removed (example below)

    <Tags>
      <Tag Name="Hard Drive" FullName="Hard Drive"/>
    </Tags>

Please return to DVD Profiler 2 format if possible

Not removed, just renamed to "FullName"

No! The new format ist much nicer.

If you previously used
  • contains(Tags, '$Foo')

  • now simply use
  • count(Tags/Tag[@FullName = 'Foo/Bar'])&gt;0

  • (not tested, but you should get the idea)

    I use meedio as my media center software and there is a plugin called xml2mee  that creates a meedio library file from the DVD profiler xml file, the author just updated it to work with DVD profiler v3 and the only thing I lost was my custom tag in the meedio library file, xml2mee needs DVD profiler 2 format shown in example from my earlier post to create this tag in meedio library file.

    No! The new format correctly uses @Name and @FullName, whereas v2.x did incorrectly put the full path name for the tag in both the Name and FullyQualifiedName fields.

    It would be more appropriate to choose attributes or element content, not both,

    however,

    XML2mee allows one to process the import XML with a stylesheet.  I recommend writing a stylesheet that returns the XML to the v2 format for the sake of XML2Mee
