Hello,

just wanted to share with you some tool that I made for my needs. It just allows me to upload my collection to my website in a format that suits me. You can see a sample here: http://www.bonamy.fr/dpu/sample/Collection.xml.

The tool, called DVD Profiler Uploader, is entirely automatic and very easy to use as long as you have FTP access to your website. You can read a complete description and how-to guide here: http://www.bonamy.fr/dpu/.

If people show interest then things can be added or enhanced:
* Make it a real DVD Profiler plugin instead of a separate application
* Have DVD Profiler Uploader perform the Collection export to XML using DVD Profiler
* ...

Also if you know a bit about XML/XSL/CSS and are interested to build new layouts for the tool then do not hesitate to ask me the details! The tool can also evolve to support mulitple layouts and let the user choose which one to use for the upload!

Regards,
mynab

A good idea, but it doesn't work for me. At the uploading there is always an error.
Here is the logfile:

I can't get this to even run at all.  I'm using Vista x64.  I've tried using compatability mode (WinXP SP2), but that didn't work either.

Just crashes on startup.
Gotta nip it in the bud, Andy!

@Joey_2001: it should be fixed now. Just redownload the application
@pauls42: I have seen phpdvdprofiler. My goal is to make something simpler to deploy and use...
@overseer: do you have any error message to provide?

Nope, no error messages.  Upon startup Vista just reports that it is recovering from a crash and attempts to find a solution online.

Is there a log that this program creates on start-up?

Not at the moment. The software is based on .NET framework 2.0 which should be installed by default on Vista x64 as far as I know... In case you may try to download and install this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=b44a0000-acf8-4fa1-affb-40e78d788b00

People running a non 64-bit version of Windows (standard XP and Vista) may try:

Getting the following error when trying to load the collection using PHP. Any idea on what to do to fix it?

Warning: domdocument() expects at least 1 parameter, 0 given in /home/cmabelco/public_html/DVD/index.php on line 7

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: load() in /home/cmabelco/public_html/DVD/index.php on line 8

It's installed at  http://cmabel.com/DVD/

.Net 2.0 already installed with Vista.

On a whim, I copied my collection.xml file to the Uploader directory and it started to work then.  I'm guessing it was trying to find the .xml when first run and when one wasn't found it would fail to run.

It's uploading now to my FTP.  Once completed we'll see how it looks.

Ok, finished uploading.

Issue with this type of setup is for those with LARGE collections.  My .xml file is over 33MB in size and when trying to access this from my website it's downloading the entire 33MB .xml file in order to view.  And I'm guessing all the covers and images as well.

@cmaeditor: which php version are you using? the software is designed for PHP5 and maybe you are using PHP4. try leaving XSL transformation at the client level (3rd panel of the software) and see if it works OK at least in this mode. I will look into a PHP4 version if you're interested.

@overseer: that's definitely true. my stuff would not work for large collections. my 150 DVD collection amounts for a ~500K HTML file when processed at the server level and a 2M XML file if processed at the client level.

Thats was it. The hosting service I am using has implemented php5 but not by default on all sites. I had to add a line to my htaccess file to use php5 and it worked.

@cmaeditor: ok great. in the meanwhile I have just worked on a version that supports php4 and php5. I will publish this next week as I will be away from home for a few days. I also have updated the XSL in the package so you may download it again. It should fix a few bugs. Your collection is already big and probably already too big for the layout of this software though...

this program seems to be good... Bet why do you have to upload at once... I like to test things before I put it up on the inet. I shuld be possible to save the file instead.

Or is it somthing I haven't seen?

Recommend uploading the thumbnails instead of the full image.  In your sample, you're using the full cover image for the tiny thumbnail.
