| | Posted: | | | | Why can't we search the main DB using just the Disc ID?
Sometimes I want to download a title that was entered with disc ID only:
1. I can't search for it using just the disc ID.
2. Occasionally, certain titles are a part of a box set. If I want to download them I have to download the parent profile first.

| | Posted: | | | | Well, you can insert the disc...
You can also search by title and see the profiles that were entered with disc ID in the listing. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | I mean for titles that I don't already own.
Secondly, Yes you can see the profiles but not download them directly. You have to type the exact title in order to do so. | | | | October 12th, 1985. Tonight, a comedian died in New York. |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't get this request. If you have the disc, you can always put it in. If you don't have the disc, where do you get the DiscID info in first place, unless you haven't already downloaded a correct profile which contains this info.  |

Try re-reading what liorb said "For titles he doesn't own" ie for his wish list... I too have found that if somebody has submitted a TV box set they may have submitted the child profiles as well, but NOT included the relevant Disc ID's as part of the Parent Profile as "BOX SET CONTENTS" but are listed as part of the Disc Information. So because they are not part of the Box Set Contents you can't use search for Child Profiles utility of DVDP. Steve Edited for typo | | | | Last edited: by snarbo |

Edited for typo If they are noted in the Discs section but not as child profiles he could compare what he sees there with the ID in the "Add by Title" list. Or he could create child profiles with the BulkEdit plugin and then force an update on these profiles. Not wanting to dismiss the Feature Request, just showing workarounds. | | | Karsten

I still agree with DJ Doena that the title search is quite usable workaround. Are these really so common that someone has done and contributed all child profiles but hasn't contributed the parent profile with correct box set info? |

Now you've lost me completely. That's not how Add by title works in my copy of Profiler... I think you'll find that liorb is asking (please correct me liorb if I have this wrong) is for a way to search for a DVD based on entering the Disc ID, similar to the search by entering EAN (UPC) number. So if for arguments sake box set "joe doe" R2 has Disc ID's dc123..., fa456..., eb987... by entering that Disc ID it would give you a listing of available Disc's not nessasrily from your own region coding area. As (if it were me I'd be looking for UK languaged titles) they be available from say Sweden; Germany or Japan so may not show up under the same English Title (uses the localities own language title instead.

| | Posted: | | | | It's been asked before, but if the Title search would also search from the original title field the problem wouldn't be that bad. I understand the original request now, but I think that we just have much more important issues before this one. Still a valid request among others. Bad subject though  | | | | Last edited: by Kulju |
