I think it is fine the way it is right now. Not that many options to be bothersome... but if you are planning on adding more options to the menu then you may want to separate them.

Version 2.2

New: Retrieve episode data from online pool (announcements here)
New: Assign episodes to profiles
New: Show episodes (including episode specific cast and crew) for profile
New: Edit additional infos for profiles and for episodes
Fix: Some minor issues in award editor
Fix: Setting of auto-sync flag works again
Fix: Fixed syncing of flagged profiles (stopped working after the first use)

I have merged my development of CCViewer and CCVPlugin into one workspace. Now it is easier for me to develop those in parallel and integrate more features of CCViewer into the plugin.
If there is interest, I will continue this. Among others, the following would be possible to integrate (with varying degree of effort):
- editing episodes / TV series
- setting watched dates and review for episodes
- HTML export/Skin handling
- SQL Queries
- Charts

Please let me know if there is interest in this. If it is worth for me to spent the efforts.

How it is working is in the readme. And no, of course it doesn't change anything in the profile.
This plugin is called Cinematic Collection Viewer Plugin for a reason (even though it is mainly used as award plugin by most). It serves as a connection to the Cinematic Collection Viewer database. And any change you make with my plugin, is only done there. Nothing is done in the Profiler database.

And I think if you see what the episode handling does, it would be for great use for you.
I always said that I don't like the episode handling in DVD Profiler. This is one of the reasons that I still maintain the CCViewer. Now I brought some of the features of it to DVD Profiler.

I always planned to have more features of my CCViewer tool integrated into this plugin. Therefore the name. I don't want to create single plugins for all those features. For one thing it is too much effort. And another thing is, that the user would have the hassle to configure every plugin extra, even though everything does the same (make a connection to the Viewer database and retrieve info).
If someone only wants to use awards, he has the option to only integrate the award windows into his layout, and leave the other windows closed.

One possibility would be that I would go the other direction: Offer less but without Viewer database.
I.e. no episode specific watched dates and additional info. And no episode data from my online pool. But simply parse the cast and crew from the Profiler profiles and create a episode list with episode specific cast and crew. But then nothing more would be possible.

Great work, Tom. I'm just beginning to explore the possibilities.   

I which that Ken would implent some of these features/data fields.


One bug though:

Importing some of the TV cast + crew data produces errors and it stops importing.

Error message is in german (maybe due to my german Win XP):

"Ungültige Konvertierung von der Zeichenfolge 01+02 in Typ Integer"
(bold part is sometimes different)

This happens on 10-20 TV shows, for example "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".

I think it is because on some series the dividers list invalid characters such as "01+02", "B01" and some others.
Checking the dividers and changing them to a standard format should solve it quickly.

I forgot to consider this conversion in the TV import
I considered it only for existing database entries.

Would it help you if I make a list of all affected series?

If you don't mind the work. Then I would adjust the online data.
Otherwise the next release of the plugin (currently not planned because there are no other changes besides this) would handle these automatically.

If it could be done automatically, I'd wait since it looks like there are not that many users at the moment.
