Hi!

I was trying to submit several new (and much better) cover scans, but I was not able to only submit the new cover scans. DVD Profiler also submitted the profile. Earlier I've been able to select what I wanted to submit on the invelos.com-site, but not with these movies.

When selecting "Contribute DVD Profile" you can take away the check for "Include cover scans", but what about a choice of not contributing the profile, but ONLY the cover scans?

Because DVD Profiler added both the profile and the cover scans, all my cover scans contributions tonight was declined by the "screeners".

Thanks!

Yes, that's possible. Tick the "Include cover scans" checkbox when contributing, and then when you're in the contribution screen, simply don't tick any of the checkboxes, just click "submit" at the bottom. Then only your scans will be submitted for evaluation.

That's what I do usually. But with the 9 movies I've tried to contribute with new cover scans tonight, that option didn't show up. Only the "contribution notes" box where you write what you have changed and where the information is from.

If you included images with your contribution (so you ticked the Include cover scans" checkbox, right?), and you don't see any images on the contribution screen, my guess is that your images were already approved with a previous contribution. If you've submitted scans before, they were accepted, and the images in your local database haven't changed since then, the system will recognize them as being the same, and will not allow you to re-contribute them (since they're the same, it isn't necessary).

Note that it's not unusual that a while a contribution to the profile gets declined, the accompanying images do get accepted. Maybe that's what happened? That your images were already accepted, while the other part of your update was declined?

One other thought.
If nothing is showing up you might be getting the "can't accept contributions because they aren't in your collection" screen. Have you uploaded your whole list to your profiler webpage? I always used to try and submit stuff before uploading my expanded collection and getting this. I think it would give me a submit page similar to new submissions (where you can't see anything you submitted, just decline and submit buttons on the bottom of page).

I've got the 9 movies for years, but tonight I decided to scan the cover scans, since them was in a size we usually see stamps. So the cover scans I have in my DVD Profiler and submitted tonight is from TONIGHT.

Yes, my collection is uploaded to my "Online Collection" and is always up-to-date.

Cool, so scratch opition 2...
Are you saying you're not seeing the scans or not seeing anything at all for the profiles (cast, overview, etc.) when submiting? If just profile, then see my first post. If nothing at all, then T!m probably has it right, even though it doesn't make sense if you're seeing small crappy pictures in your up to date local. I've never not been able to see my cover submisssions execpt when submitting new UPC's or new profiles all together, except when I hadn't uploaded the disc yet.

The only other thing I can think of is that if these are old discs, maybe the UPC's didn't get updated when the program moved to invelos. I had this happen a couple times as well (or maybe I just put in the wrong versions by title back on intervocative). I know at least twice the UPC was old and didn't have the first and last numbers which didn't used to get submited. When going through my profile I scanned new covers and fixed cast/crew lists, only to go and submit and get an error, then find out the UPC was wrong and the new profile with the right UPC also had nice scans and corrected info. Now I double check the UPC before starting an audit.

If you had these movies in DVD Profiler 2.x and upgraded to 3 it could be that you have them in your local DB but they were never uploaded to the online DB. So when you submit the new image it treats it as a new profile. I would check to see if they are in the online DB by trying to add one and see if it's available.

If they are not in the online DB you will have to treat them as a new submission.

This sounds like what is going on to me. For new submissions you don't get a way to pick which part of the profile you would like to contribute.

A strange thing, is that the movies (with this problem) IS in my online collection, but without cover scans.

Btw; I've used DVD Profiler since october 2003.

All the "problem-profiles" have UPC/EAN with 13 digits. (identical with the one on the back cover)
