| Posted: | | | | I wanted to ask the Invelos community their thoughts on the best way to handle correcting existing profiles with season sets. So typically when a box set has multiple seasons in it I'm used to it appearing as such... each season disc is listed as a disc id to the season set. Recently after acquiring the Lost in Space: The Complete Adventures box set I see it appearing as this... each season disc is its own profile I'm not sure that one is "more right" than the other, but the former seems much more common (opinions welcomed). The contribution rules just say disc ids shouldn't be a part of the main profile (and both ways fulfill that requirement) I would personally like to see the main LIS profile condensed down to Season 1, 2, 3 similar to the Twilight Zone set (just less busy in my opinion). I'm not sure the best way to go about this - whether to just start fresh with a Season 1 profile and begin the task of combining down each Season or rename one of the existing discs as Season 1 and collapse the other related Season discs into that profile, just leave it all alone or what. Also if I do all this (and the community agrees) what happens to the existing disc profiles? Can they be deleted from the central Invelos database (I've never seen how that works)? Are they just orphaned? Thanks all for your input. |

| Posted: | | | | Per the rules it all depends on how it is packaged. If it is packaged where there is a box holding boxes for each season that each has it's own UPC/EAN on them then there can be season profiles. If there is no UPC/EAN on each season box or not packaged that way at all then we use main parent profile (Complete Series) with each disc as a child profile. Rules Quote: Quote: In cases where multiple complete TV seasons/series (each with distinct UPC/EAN) are packaged together, the Box-set rules are applied, treating each season/series like a single film - applying the above rules for its individual profile. bold by me.... Either way, disc level profiles are allowed for those who wants them. | | | Pete | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

| Posted: | | | | That's helpful. I'd missed that distinction. These season sets don't have individual UPCs, so I'll leave the profile as-is. Thanks. |
