re: DVDID XML files and how to get them

Nathan,

Glad that you like it. Was a life saver for me as well with my big collection of movies. That is why I did the project in the first place. Sorry to hear you are having issues.

Depending if you are on Vista/7 or Windows XP the directories will be a little different, but navigate to c:\Docuemnts and Settings (c:\users on Vista\7)

Then once you are there go into your user profile, and then local settings/application data folder (you may need to show hidden files to do this). You will find a zerosandtheone folder in there. Delete that, and then reinstall the app. This folder contains the settings. There is a chance something is corrupted and has caused your error. Once you have deleted these settings try running the app again.

If you still get an error it could be framework related, otherwise you should be back in business.

Email me directly if you can't get it working again, and we can talk offline about this.

This application has been a lifesaver! Thanks! Unfortunately, I started getting an "Unhandled Exception" pop-up yesterday every time I start the program and when I click on just about any of the buttons (ex: Select Root Folder). The application eventually closes itself with a final "Unhandled Exception" window. I'm having withdrawal symptoms already... any ideas on how to fix? I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling... no luck.

This client application is for members of DVDXML.com who have purchased an API membership from the site. Without purchasing the membership, you can only use the website to get DVDID files individually.

I downloaded this the other day but it fails to login with my DVDxml username/pass... Any suggestions?

Jim,

No this application just interfaces with the DVDXML.com API. However it is pretty easy to submit any DVD IDs to that site, and the owner is good about updating the database (daily) with new submissions.

You can get info on that here:

www.dvdxml.com/.../faq.php

If possible, I will consider trying to automate some of this in a future release of this client application though.

Can this application create custom xml files?

There are lot of DVDs that I cannot find the associated DVDID xml files. So I would like to create the xml file myself with the relevent cover art.
