Hello there I've actually upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1.1 version ans since then I've been having problems with the layout for the subtiltes. As a matter of fact I've been using an old layout from the late 2... version that I prefered to the new ones. And so since the upgrade never mind what ancient layout from the 2... version I'll use the subtitles are not filled in ( no information, blanck empty space !!!).

Could any one tell me if this problem can be solved. In deed with the 3.0 version it worked fine, so what's the deal, I just don't get it. Please help me.

By the way I've sent another topic week ago, asking who to add studio logos to my databank and still no answer. I believe that as I didn't place an ? most have thought it was an answer or an info but it is a question. So once again does anyone know who to do that?

Do you have any more info about the layout you're using? Was it one you downloaded from the old site or was it one you made yourself?
Without knowing which layout/skin you're using it's going to be pretty hard to work out what your problem is I'm afraid.
Also, please don't think you're being ignored if no one replies to posts, it's usually because no one can answer your question! I for one don't have a clue about how to get the logos to show!

It is the Maelane_French_V1.2. And the 2.4 DVD Profiler Version.

Thanks for the help you could give me. In deed before there were little flags for the language of the subtitle.

That is a user developed skin designed to be used with an earlier version of DVD Profiler. You will have to contact the skins developer and see if he/she is willing to update it for use with the current version of DVD Profiler.

I've just been to the old site and the email listed there for the author is: Philippev77@voila.fr
It was a user called kebop77, a name I'm not familiar with, so either they have a new username here or they haven't transferred their account.

I found Maelane_French_V1.3 (v 1.3) which includes an update to the actor alignment and some bug fixes.

So, tom boss, can you also download 1.3 and see if a) maybe your bug is fixed or b) there are any other issues besides the subtitles? I may have a quick look at lit later.

EDIT:
Well, I quickly looked at versions 1.2 and 1.3. Both did display the images (flags) for for the subtitles for me.

tom boss, how did you transfer the skin into 3.1.1? I suspect you only copied the HTML from 2.4? In that case it would clearly be missing all the images that are attached to the skin (including the flags as well as the Studio logos!).

To properly import the skin:
Open the HTML editor (View|HTML Windows|Edit). Then select "Import 2.x skin..." from the File menu. Browse to the folder that contains the skin (supposedly "C:\Program Files\InterVocative Software\DVD Profiler\skins") and open the dps file. This will import the skin into 3.1.1 including the images. (Maybe that resolves most of your studio logo problems as well).

Beat me to it!
I've also tried both skins and had no problems seeing the flags in the subtitle section or the studio logos.
Let us know if ya_shin's advice helped at all.

I had actually proceeded exactly the way you're indicating me how to. Yet as I was saying it just wouldn't want to give the flags for the subtitles. For the logos it another concern. They appear great but what I would like is to know how to add some new studios and their logo.

Besides as I precised my concern appeared after my update to the 3.1.1 version for with the former 3.0 one purchased on june it runned perfectly.

So as you'll have understood my problem wasn't solved. I'm amazed that it runs well for you.

By the way I've stayed with the 1.2 version of the Maelane French version for the 1.3 one didn't run well already with my old DVD Profiler 2.4 version.

In advance Thanks for the help you'll be able to provide me.

Sorry to hear that the suggestions regarding the subtitles were not resolving your issues.

You have to add the logos in the Edit screen and then adjust the skin somewhere, so that it will use them.

If no one else has more details shortly, I'll have a look at it over the weekend.

I had a quick look at the Studios section last night and it looks simple enough to add logos, but I'd need a specific list of studios to add (and a place to find their logos too if possible).
It seems to work by loading the logos into a numbered style (runs 1-122 at the moment I think). Then a search for a specific phrase in the studios field switches a specific style number display on.
So it should be easy enough to continue the numbering and add more lines but we'd need to know what to add.

On a side note, I started looking at trying to display text when no logo was available, but no luck so far.

tom boss, it appears northbloke is offering you to add a few studios, if you provide the list of studios to be added and possibly also the images...


If you want to do it yourself, here's how:
First add the image:
In Edit mode for the HTML window select Image|Add from the menu, find the image to be added and then click Open.

Add the code:
Basically there are three lines of code to be added for each image. They should be easy to find, as in each case there are long lists of similar entries (1-122 currently) already available. I'll give the example how to add 123:

Quote:
<span id="studio123"><img src="$DPIMAGES.newstudio.gif" ALIGN=center VSPACE=6><BR></span>

Quote:
studio122.style.display = 'none';

Quote:
if (studio.match("New Studio")) studio123.style.display = '';


Did I miss anything, northbloke...?

That looks exactly how I would have tried doing it.
I certainly couldn't see any other code in the layout that referred to studios.

Ok It's done for the logos, I've managed to add what I liked.

By thre way my problem for the subtitles still ain't solved.

I've been looking and all the images of the flags seem to be there in the HTML editor yet they just won't come out on the layout display. Did you figure out what's the thing that turns wrong.

tom boss, I am very glad to see you got the addition of Studios worked out.

As for the Subtitles, I don't have any idea as they display o.k. for me

Yeah, I've had no problems with the subtitle flags either.
Looking at the code, the only thing I can see is one line that uses quote marks inside some code - maybe that's giving your browser grief when it tries to run it.
Look for this line in the HTML code:

var subs = "<DP NAME="SUBTITLES" DIVIDER="BREAK">";

and replace it with this:

var subs = '<DP NAME="SUBTITLES" DIVIDER="BREAK">';

fingers crossed that might work.

Thanks for trying desperately to help me out with that little concern of mine. But unfortunately nope it still doesn't work with that. As I said already what I'm mostly puzzled by is the fact that the subtitles just don't appear nevermind what ancient 2.4 DVD Profiler Layout I'll import. And in addition this problem only appeared after my update to the 3.1.1 version for with the former 3.0 one I had puurchased everything runned fine.

Hoping you'll be able to save my case that seems to be a pretty hard one. In advance thanks, and appreciating your efforts.
