Crew2Profiler
What is it?
An utility for importing crew members from Doug's awesome DVDFolks tool into DVD Profiler.
Requirements
- Intervocative DVD Profiler v2.3.1
- DVDFolks (currently tested with v0.8 preview 3)
Usage
- Run DVDFolks
- Navigate to the IMDB "full cast and crew" page for the desired title
- Click Next
- Select 'Crew' radio button and click Next
- Click Next
- Click Next and verify, click Next to display the XML. You may now close DVDFolks (data is now on the clipboard and Crew2Profiler gets it from there)
- Run DVD Profiler, right-click the desired title and select "Edit", switch to the Credits tab and click "Assign Credits" to open the Assign Credits dialog
- Run Crew2Profiler.exe. The utility now enters crew members into DVD Profiler by simulating user input. Note that mouse and keyboard input will be disabled while Crew2Profiler is running (Ctrl-Alt-Del will still work)
Crew2Profiler will handle names not yet in the database (automatically adds them) and names already credited for the role. Crew2Profiler will never remove existing crew information.
Options
Crew2Profiler supports the following command line options:
/noblock- Does not block mouse and keyboard input. Right-click on the small blue task tray icon to pause/exit Crew2Profiler.
/fast- Speeds up adding crew members by approx. a factor of 5, but may be unreliable on slower systems.
To use the command line options, it's best to create a shortcut to Crew2Profiler
and in the shortcut properties, add the command line option(s) at the end of
the path, separated by spaces, for example:
"C:\Program Files\InterVocative Software\DVD Profiler\Crew2Profiler.exe" /fast
/noblock
