| Posted: | | | | I have a problem using this plugin (this regards both, the free and the pro version).
Whenever this plugin is started, it will check something against my network card, which will fail, because it will test my virtual network card (installed by VirtualBox). So right now, I will always have to deactivate this card when I start DVD Profiler. I can reactivate it while DVD Profiler is running, without your plugin to fail afterwards.
Since I can select the network card to use in DVD Profiler v3.9, maybe you can use this information for your plugin?! | | | ![](http://www.matzerath-online.net/cache/added_en_banner.png) |

Since I can select the network card to use in DVD Profiler v3.9, maybe you can use this information for your plugin?! Absolutely, I will look into that. I might come back and ask for additional info, so I can make the most intelligent upgrade. Of course I would rather not fail when using VirtualBox, so maybe I can test for that. LoadDVD uses IP commands for automation - sending / receiving commands to other devices. If you don't use the automation, try turning it off, and see if that helps. It might not, but it is certainly easy to check. Thanks for the heads up. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!!

Edit: ![](http://abload.de/img/loaddvdautomationeluom.jpg) OK, I found this - but even if I turn off automation here, it will be turned on again whenever I restart DVD Profiler... | | | ![](http://www.matzerath-online.net/cache/added_en_banner.png) | | | Last edited: by StaNDarD |

| Posted: | | | | Ok, got it. I just downloaded VirtualBox. I'm running Windows on my MacBook Pro. Maybe I will set up a smal VM to run my Mac system, which I have on a USB SSD at the moment.
Can you export the smallest VM that exhibits the error (vanilla - I don't want to know your personals)? No rush. I will get up to speed on how to use VB and then I can import your VM and test LoadDVD directly. Does that make sense? | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here.

| Posted: | | | | I'm not sure, if you understand my problem correctly...
So I try again: I'm running Windows 8.1 without any virtualization. I have VirtualBox installed on my machine, because I'm running a virtual Linux system as a MusicBrainz slave. VirtualBox will install a virtual network card on the host to offer network connection to virtual machines.
So I don't run DVD Profiler inside a virtual machine... | | | ![](http://www.matzerath-online.net/cache/added_en_banner.png) | | | Last edited: by StaNDarD |

So I don't run DVD Profiler inside a virtual machine... I understood that - otherwise you couldn't have disabled VB and still run the program. The best way to debug the issue, is for me to do whatever you are doing. So, I downloaded VB, and I am offering to learn how to use it, if you would be willing to export the minimum configuration that causes the problem. Sounds like it needs to be a minimal system that establishes a virtual network card. Maybe this will happen with any installation of VB, but it is obvious that my knowledge of VB configuration is at ground zero at the moment. So, now do you understand what I am saying? If you do, and can suggest an easier way for me to reproduce the problem you are having, then please explain how to do it. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here.

As far as I know, the virtual network card has been created during the installation of VirtualBox. So you shouldn't need to create a virtual machine. I'm not home right now, but I will check this, when I'm back. | | | ![](http://www.matzerath-online.net/cache/added_en_banner.png) |

| Posted: | | | | I installed VB on my Windows 8.1 x32 system, running on MacBook Pro.
No ill effects so far. I have confirmed that the virtual ethernet adapter is installed and working in Device Manager.
Also, I confirmed that the LoadDVD Pro automation still correctly scans adapters looking for attached UPnP Sony changers.
So, maybe it does have something to do with your specific configuration. Any suggestions for the next step? | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!! BDPFrog. |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting StaNDarD: Quote: Well, I just updated to the latest version of VirtualBox and whatever has been the problem, it's gone. ![](/images/emoticons/thumbup.gif) Ok, so we both got something out of it. Now I no longer fear the virtualization world, and will be exploring its use, and you got your problem solved. Win - win! | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here.

| Posted: | | | | I ran into a problem while exporting MyLinks: ![](http://abload.de/img/loaddvderrorfeukq.jpg) (A name is not allowed to start with a '"', hex-code 0x22. Line 1, position 272.) I hunted the profile which was causing this error and when I found it, I was wondering why it had no MyLinks attached... I added a link and it was working again... I digged a little deeper and had a look on my last files I've imported. And here's what stupid me did: "4010232004468.5","Fight Club","https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btxCA6FDAWQ",""TV-Spot #1 {deu}",T,N There's a doubled doublequote in front of the name field... and unluckily it has been imported without any warning or error... So long story short: it would be great, if you could add some kind of error-checking or simply remove not allowed characters before doing the import. | | | ![](http://www.matzerath-online.net/cache/added_en_banner.png) | | | Last edited: by StaNDarD |

| Posted: | | | | Thanks for the detailed diagnosis. Always appreciated.
I will certainly look into it. And if I ship a new release without it, just remind me, and I will fix it while the code is still fresh in my mind.
Thanks again. | | | Thanks for your support. Free Plugins available here. Advanced plugins available here. Hey, new product!!! BDPFrog. |

If you make these changes, I would be perfectly happy - at least for the moment. ![](/images/emoticons/grin.gif) I'm finally making some changes.
On Load Trailers by Profile ID, do you want:
- upc.locality.trailer name.ext - upc.trailer name.ext
- both???
Edit: No time to wait, so I coded both plus "formatted upc.trailer name.ext".
Fir example, these all work:
4942463602307.17.trailer.mp4 4942463602307.trailer.mp4 4-942463-602307.trailer.mp4 Quoting StaNDarD: Quote: Sorry for the late reply, but somehow I missed your post.
I store my trailers in subfolders named by Profile ID - just like ScenePhotos.
So it looks like this:
4009750396759.5\trailer_1.mp4 4009750396759.5\trailer_2.mp4 4010232042248.5\teaser.mp4 4010232042248.5\trailer.mp4 Quoting mediadogg: Quote: Ok, cool. I like that consistent approach.
Edit: Done. Will be in the next update. Let me know if you want to play with it beforehand. Is there any time frame for the next update or can I still get a link to the latest build? | | | ![](http://www.matzerath-online.net/cache/added_en_banner.png) |
