Since the beginning of 3.x and the new XML file formats I've been having major problems with the importing of DVD Profiler data into DVD Lobby.  It's a supported function in DVD Lobby and it worked without a hitch with DVD Profiler 2.4. 

But the file format and UPC changes have really mucked up the works, so to speak.  It seems that, because the cover art location is not included in the XML export, DVD Lobby needs to go find the art based on the UPC.  Would it be to difficult to export the cover art location, front and back, as either a standard component or optional component of the XML export?

Thanks.

I think it's a bad idea. The XML should be universal and not include data which only will work on the PC it was created. To get the images will still work the same as with Profiler 2. The path to the image is always image folder + profile ID + f/b (Front/Back) + .jpg.

It is not Profiler which needs adjusting but DVD Lobby.

The XML-Format changed with 3.x. Either DVD Lobby updates to this format or you have to change the XML to the old format. By XSL or Tom Gaines CCV (the program, not the plug-in)

I'm not sure where the problem is. In 2.4 DVD Lobby had to find the data in the DVD Profiler Program folder, now it has to find it in the user data folder. Should be a simple configuration in DVD Lobby.
