Hello All, I have a program for the longest time, called DVD Profiler by Invelos (Windows based). You may have guessed it, it is for DVDs. Behind it is a massive community fed database. Here is a screenshot. I chose "Add DVD", in the next Dialog I typed "Alien" and then picked one from the list and chose preview. In the mid window you can see how many versions there are, and that is only for "Locality = USA" and Region Code 1. How do they know that these versions are different? They know by the UPC-code on the DVD. And just like Wikipedia, users are happily feeding the database with the information on the DVD-Case. So, my idea was to tap into that database. Others have already done so, and there are plugins available for that. "HTTPJolie" is the plugin I am currently looking at, which supports HTTP-queries. But maybe there are other plugins (e.g. based on SQL) that work better. Anyway, based on their work I would like to write a plugin that can query the online database from invelos. There is a caveat though. To use the above plugins to query the DB, one has to be a registered user of DVD Profiler. I don't know if that means "paying". Nonetheless, I hope that there are people around here that are willing to help or to contribute to this project. Maybe with their time, maybe with a sample code for such a plugin, maybe with code sniplets you already have, or anything else along those lines. Please let me know here in this thread. Thank you, Roodee

It would be nice to be able to specify default options for library creation. I have to add a lot of libraries and on every single library, I have to manually set all the checkbox. This could either be solved by: Globally defined default options for new libraries Template libraries which could be used to clone from
