I agree. I intend to do it. Just burned out at the moment on this effort.

Totally understandable. Take it easy and take the time you need!

Testing the next CLTBoss Update:

As reported or requested

- Fixed problem with un-escaped XML characters in search variant names (e.g. O'Donnell)
- Reversed order of keep UPC / PIDs on re-scrape
- Suppressed option to delete UPCs when scan after scrape selected
- Load / Save paths for XML, UPCs, PIDs and Variants remembered for next use
- Added option to clear input and output data fields together
- Added option to unflag profiles after adding to collection and refreshing
- Last collection saved to is remembered
- Filters are cleared before adding to collection
- Fixed: page 2 of 2-page CLT sometimes not scraped

Anything else before I wrap up this release?

Ok sports fans, another weird one:

While fixing the problem with names like "O'Donnell", I get one missing profile on the XML search. The validation tool produces "4030521754973.5" as a possible suspect = no matching profile credits found for the UPC 4030521754973 in the CLT.

Sure enough, that profile is in the CLT results for Lawrence O'Donnell, but that profile has NO CAST, and there are no pending profile updates - voted or unvoted. Hence the credit scan for that profile finds nothing, because nothing is there.

Can anybody explain this?

Edit: Another one: Cinque Lee - 760137395188. Listed by CLT, but no credits in online profile.

Not sure what you were looking at, but both those profiles do have credited cast that includes the mentioned cast members.
Temporary glitch?

Just woke up. I'll take a look. This has happened before when I experienced a problem. It magically got fixed with no explanation to me of what happened. I'll see what happens this time after running the same query with no changes to my code. Thanks for checking.

Yup, just as I thought. "All of a sudden" the profiles in question now have cast, and CLTBoss finds the credits. I am logged into the same browser / Invelos session as last night, with same code on same computer. It was no "glitch". Somebody fixed the profiles or arranged for them to download. The dates on both profiles were 1/9/2021.

So somebody is watching. Thank you. But for the record, CLTBoss accurately found the problem and now accurately reflects the corrected profiles.

CLTBoss Version 1.8 has been released with the aforementioned updates.

Links to the video tutorials have been added to the description page, and an option for "tipping" has been added. Totally optional. Just click the top button for "Heartfelt Thanks" and the plugin is free!!!!

Existing users just login and go to the digital downloads tab to download the new version..

Checking reported issues with 22H2, I see reported problems with Remote Desktop, and it seems to have to do with UDP. I guess it could be that this UDP problem affects CLTBoss and HTTPJolie as well.

You could uninstall 22H2 to see if that fixes the problem.

22H2 seems to be for Win 11 only, so I was hoping to be able to test this on my laptop, but 22H2 is not listed as an upgrade for it (yet?). My development PC runs Win 10 (and is not Win 11 compatible) so no luck on that one.

Any more news on the Windows 11 issue? Any error messages or other clues? Is there a compatibility mode feature that can be used to launch dvdpro.exe that could be tested?
