I know of at least 2 profiles in the online that are parsed

Ice//Cube


I know this is a stage name, and should be parsed Ice Cube//

I have tried to submit the change, but it comes back that it sees no difference.  When I look at the comparison Online/Refresh DVD from Invelos/Preview Changes..., it shows the difference.

Anybody know a way to get this corrected?

Hey Charlie

For over 2 years parsing is no longer considered: see this thread

Parsing is no longer considered or displayed in the online contribution system.


And here his announcing:

We've modified the contribution system so that it no longer considers first/middle/last parsing changes as a change to the profile.  For example:

Sara/Jane/Walker is now considered the same as Sara//Jane Walker. These will not display as changes, and will also no longer display with coloring by first/middle/last.

Since the program update a few months ago, DVD Profiler maintains your local first/middle/last separation for credits in your local database, and will match automatically, ignoring a change to the parsing.

If a particular cast or crew member is not yet in your local DB, the profile's current parsing will be used, and you can then make changes as desired -  just make the change once locally and the program will keep it permanently, regardless of changes to the online.


So modify it local as you prefer and no contribution will change it.
You can only see it in the Profile Comparison.

I'd think it's all just Ice Cube//, but as awilbohk stated, it's all up to your personal preference now.

Some crew credits, mostly song-writing, are under his real name O'Shea Jackson.
But out of curiosity, if one was to submit a profile that had Ice/Cube, would that still link to my local which has all Ice Cube//? I just saw I had Ice/Cube back on my cast list but without any credits. Maybe I just forgot to delete that one, no reason for it to show up with a new profile that doesn't have a role for it.

I think it's supposed to, but it may depend. For example, I recently saw I had Arthur Conan Doyle parsed differently as Arthur/Conan/Doyle and Arthur/Conan Doyle in my DB. Dunno if the middle name throws it off, but I believe if you only had Ice Cube// in your local DB prior to the parsing changes, new profiles with Ice/Cube would link to it. However, if you had both Ice Cube// and Ice/Cube in your DB, it's a crap shoot.
