Hello!

I have been using Invelos DVD Profiler for years now (currently version 3.8.2), and for the most part I have been happy with it. I am using HTPC with MediaPortal, and I am thinking that I am going to use popular MyFilms -plugin so that I can browse through my movie collection with my HTPC and remote controller.

Thing is, that MyFilms can use exported DVD Profiler catalog, which is great (it reads exported xml-file).
But I would know if it was possible to somehow auto-export my catalog to xml file (to pre-defined destination, which would be my NAS) every time I close DVD Profiler (I only use it from my desktop PC), so that the exported XML file on my NAS would always be up-to-date. That way I would always have up-to-date situation on my HTPC as well, when I launch MyFilms plugin.

Is that auto-exporting possible somehow?

It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Thanks! I did find this plugin earlier but thought it wouldn't work because it hasn't been updated since 2010 and I read the instructions a bit wrong (I thought I should manually do the export every time)

But I tried the plugin and it seems to do the trick - altough it does the export every time I start DVD Profiler and not when I close it, but that's good enough for me

EDIT: Apparently the plugin IS exporting database every time I change something, which is absolutely perfect!
