If a birth year is appended to a name in the credits (cast/crew), CCV on Deviant Skin doesn't show the headshot in 'award' column properly:



However, if the name hasn't the year appended:


Is there a simple way to solve this?

Sorry for not mentioning in the previous post. This issue occurs even I rename the headshot. But once you'll adjust it for the next version, that's OK then.

Is there a way to edit events in CCV 3 yet? Something I have miss so much is the shortcut (F8) to alternate between skins.

Should it toggle between the different views, or should it only toggle between default view and the last selected skin?

Toggle between default and last skin would be more effective, IMHO.

Fix: Handle invalid timestamps in DVD Profiler XML

Is there still anyone relying on the DVD Profiler 2 Export feature?
I know there were some in the past which used CCViewer as a converter to create DVD Profiler 2 XML files from an DVD Profiler 3 XML export.
If there is still need for it, I will try to get it into the next release. Otherwise I will give it low prio.

Yes, I use this feature at least one per week
So it would be fantastic to have it, of course if I'm alone I understand that the priority decrease

Did I hear "XML-Problems"?

Do you know if it would be able to handle UTF-8 XML encoding instead of US-Ascii that Profiler 2 used? US-ASCII just makes too much trouble.

hm ... what seems to be the problem? Do you to the XML-conversion 'by hand' or do you use the Windows-function for this? If the latter, a simple:
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="windows-1252" indent="yes"/>
should do the trick, shouldn't it?

And no, I have no idea how to tab those resources, but DJ Doena wrote a small little tool, XsltTransform, that gave a GUI to this functions. Wouldn't it be possible to simply use this mechanism to convert the XML?
If the XSL for this is editable, and not hardcoded into the program, it would even be a plus on functionality!

DVD Profiler 2 did use US-ASCII in its export though. The last time I tried to use that encoding in .NET, the resulting XML was unusable.

I'll be damned ... just ran a test with encoding="us-ascii" used a profile that comprises among a lot of other data:
<Title>Bube, Dame, König, Gras</Title>
<PurchasePrice ... FormattedValue="€7,95">7.95</PurchasePrice>

xsltproc spits that out as:
<Title>Bube, Dame, K&#246;nig, Gras</Title>
<PurchasePrice ... FormattedValue="&#8364;7,95">7.95</PurchasePrice>
which looks fine.
saxon9he.jar does the same, so does msxsl.exe from a Window-commandline.

But when I use XSLT-Transform I get:
<Title>Bube, Dame, K?nig, Gras</Title>
<PurchasePrice ... FormattedValue="?7,95">7.95</PurchasePrice>


So, in theory it works, you just have to find out why even the commandline-tool msxsl, utilizing msxml4.dll, can do what the function used by XSLT-Transform botches up. (same .NET I venture to guess)
