DVD Profiler 4.0.0 is out. (1 Viewer)

[Mike Frezon]

I just started having a problem with my DVD Profiler.

My work flow is to scan bar codes on the Profiler app on my iPhone to add titles to my collection. I will then connect the app on my phone to the app on my PC and "Update database" so that all titles exist in both places.

However, as of today, I cannot sync the app on my phone with the app on my PC.

Nothing has changed (that I can think of) hardware or software wise (outside of any iOS updates).

I know to make sure the PC's IP address (and Port) are correct on the phone. But no go.

Any ideas?

If I had to guess it was an iOS update. Has happened to me with a bunch of apps that have stopped working at some point.

Sometimes it is possible to reboot everything and things start working again and then next I would try to first deinstall dvdprofiler, reboot the phone and install it again after the reboot.

If all fails you can get one of those, they seem to be between 10 and 40 dollars and I use both:

DVD Profiler is down (again), but this time at least there's a little more information from Invelos about the cause:

Yeah, I noticed that early this morning.

 

[Jason Goodmanson]

Shows 57.0% currently - so at least the bar is moving and giving the impression of progress. Was a little confused about why I couldn't add new titles last night.

Please internet goddess, don't let anything happen to DVD Profiler.

I'm getting nothing from invelos.com this morning. The page just times out.

 

[Douglas R]

Yes, just tried to upload a new contribution which didn't go through.

 

[Malcolm R]

Update is still not quite finished, it appears:

It's really kinda impressive that someone is still keeping that ship afloat...even if any new software development has been given the heave-ho.

I had purchased the lifetime membership MANY years ago and it is quite nice to think that they decided to not just let the software/database die an ignominious death.

By the way, I'm seeing 100% now on the server maintenance update @ Invelos.com.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I see the Invelos/DVD Profiler forum is not accessible today.

Is that a result of the same server maintenance? Because they have continued to remain online, haven't they?

It is very much possible that they will also move the forum over to the new server.

Looks like things are up and running again. For now.

 

[Kilgore]

I don't think things are 100% yet. I tried to update my online profile and it said there was an unexpected error.

I received the same message.

Just in case some of you aren't aware, Ken Cole, the developer of DVD Profiler who has been MIA for a few years, is back in the saddle and spearheading the new server migration. Looks like the app and the service are getting some fresh life breathed back into them. Great news!

Thank you for the update, Doug

The only reason I have Windows running on my Mac is solely for DVDProfiler. It's THAT GOOD.

I use DVDPEDIA on my Mac, but it's not quite as good as PROFILER

Also a DVDPEDIA user. The only thing I use Windows for is Harmony software. Perhaps I should add Profiler, but I use Pedia so often that I can’t imagine booting into Windows that often.

I was finally able to update my online collection, so so far so good!

The Windows version of DVDProfiler is magnificent. Which makes the crappy Android app all the more frustrating.
