Sorry, lost track. I have so many changes pending in several plugins - new plugin API, new features, bugs ...

I'll PM you a link to my current build and you can let me know what I'm still missing.

Oh, I know I didn't get to catching the CSV encoding errors yet.

(Drat, just sent myself a PM ... trying again.)

LoadDVD Pro V2.61 Available

- Several fixes and improvements to media player operation
- Fixes the problem some people are having with plugin loading

Notes:
- Existing users are entitled to a free upgrade. Just log in, go to the prior purchases page and re-download
- If you have been getting loading problems with recent prior versions, this should fix it and give an error message referencing the problem. If it is an error setting the firewall port forwarding, you will need to set the port manually. See the LoadDVD Pro documentation for more details. This port is used for the a/v Automation functionality.
- Windows 8/10: Microsoft has hosed the Windows Media Player and related codecs needed for playing DVDs and some other media. If you were lucky enough to grab the free media player in 8.1 Pro, all you need to do is maybe add codecs for certain audio formats to restore the LoadDVD Pro media player DVD playing function. But if you go to Windows 10, all bets are off. Microsoft will rip out Windows Media Player and require you to download a DVD Player app from a third party. This ruins the ability for LoadDVD Pro to play DVD ISOs inside its window - but it will still play other formats in the window, and DVDs using file association in an external window.

I am working on the problem, but there are obviously not many people using this because I have gotten no complaints.

LoadDVD Pro V2.70 Available

Existing users have been enabled for free upgrade / download.

This release shares the same code base with LoadDVD V2.70 and is primarily a massive bug fix release.

Non-pro fixes are identical to those just released in LoadDVD.

Pro fixes:
- Smoother transition between media types in the player
- Ability to double click on playlist item was broken - fixed
- Multi-disc and Series drop down list made consistent and faster across the three modes: Main menu, DVD Menu, Context Menu
- Disc description and file path added to the drop down menus

BulkEdit was designed exactly for that.

(1) Install BulkEdit

Method 1:
(2) Flag the entries you want to change, or select a category (start small)
(3) Tools>BulkEdit>Edit Speadsheet Data
(3) Select Title and Notes as columns to display (ProfileID is automatic)
(4) Load Flagged - takes a few seconds. Much longer if you try to do too many at once, based on your PC power and memory.
(5) Place the mouse cursor into any cell in the Notes column.
(6) Click on "MultiTool" menu
(7) In Tool 2, put \\Media\ into Look For: , and put V:\ into Replace With:
(8) Click Find and Replace All. Should take only a few minutes.
(9) Close Multicopy and confirm results
(10) If you like it, then you can click File > Save Validated Results - This one takes some time. It is faster to do batches than try to do all 4000 at once. The computer loading is non-linear.

There are many more options to BulkEdit. You might want to play with it a bit on a test database first. But I gave you the steps I would use myself to do your task. That is originally why I built BulkEdit - to make LoadDVD changes. Then it grew from there. Keep me posted on your results.

Any news? 

Quoting garycase:

Sorry for the delay => I was out of town for an entire month for a family emergency.

BulkEdit did the job perfectly ... it is indeed SLOW, but it does the job.  And slow doesn't really matter -- I simply started it and then did other things, and when I checked a couple hours later it was done.  Since this is a one-time thing, the speed isn't a concern.

Thanks for the great tool 

Incidentally, I did this with the first method you suggested.    If I get a chance I'll try the 2nd approach, which I suspect may be MUCH faster for a large # of items.  But as I noted, this is a once-in-a-blue-moon thing, so speed isn't really much of a factor.

Made my day ...   

And if you get a chance to test the second method, icing on the cake. Thanks.

Hope all is well on the family front.

I got a new error today and can't get it cleared.  I get a windows error window pop up, and then a Profiler error box .. both say the same.  "Configuration system failed to initialize."  The Profiler box is labeled "LoadDVD Pro".

I tried reinstalling, didn't work; tried uninstalling and then installing, didn't work.  Downloaded latest version (2.70) and did the same … didn't work.

Help!

I run on Windows 10.
