I have all my DVD's stored on OpenSolaris ZFS shares.  I wanted to keep my DVD profiler DB on the server as well so I can access it from my main computer, and my SageTV server can access the DB(another windows machine).  When trying to copy the database to the server (at a UNC path) I was having problems opening the database.  Even when creating a blank database, it would show up red in the list and it wouldn't open.  I found that the case of the database files that it created, and the case of the files it tried to open were different.  I created the following symlinks in my database directory to get the database to open.

ln -s Users.DAT USERS.DAT
ln -s Users.IDX USERS.IDX
ln -s COLLECTION.DAT Collection.DAT
ln -s COLLECTION.IDX Collection.IDX
ln -s COLLECTION.BLB Collection.BLB

I searched the forums and didn't find anyone else experiencing this problem, so I though I would post some info.

I've no experience of Solaris, but I assume that you're trying to run it under Wine? If so, your problem may be fixed by setting the paths under winecfg (just run winecfg from terminal or 'run command'.

P.S. I presume that the locations are set properly under DVD Profiler as well (although I'm not sure what needs doing - if you search I'm sure that you'll find something about changing the location of DVDP on Windows - same should apply here).
This is a sig... ... ... yay...

Don't understand? Maybe DVDProfilerWiki.org does!
