Version 2.1.13.0 rolled out. Hopefully it will fix the issues. 

Sadly it doesn't work for me

However, it does work for some profiles. For example, I can parse Kick-Ass 2 without problems, yet with Kick-Ass 1, there are several problems:
Some departments seem to be cut of at one point, not everything gets parsed,
If a crew member is listed under a differend name, this differend name gets used as the role of the member,
Some listing from the different art deparments get listed under 'other'.
There are no problems with the cast. Before the update there where no problems, I didn't chance any settings, and I even try to parse Kick-Ass 1 & 2 with a newly donwloaded version of cast/crew edit - the same problems occured.

However, I don't really know how to reproduce these problems. Several different movies I could parse without problems, others with the aforementioned troubles. I hope you can fix this nonetheless!

I tried it again today and some movies work just fine, some don't. I can't see a system in what works and what doesn't. Some movies are old, some are new, some have 50 crew members, some 1500. For every instance I have a movie that did work, and another which did not.

can you give me a concrete example to look into this?

Yes, for example in the movie 'Kick-Ass':
Sara Bicknell is listed under the art directors as the following: 'Sara Bicknell  - art director (as Sarah Stuart)'. However, after parsing, it gets listed as 'Sara Bicknell - as Sarah Stuart', with no listing of the art director position. I also tried to add what I copied directly from cast/crew edit, maybe this might be of help:

Credit CreditType="Art" CreditSubtype="Custom" CustomRole="As Sarah Stuart" FirstName="Sarah" MiddleName="" LastName="Bicknell" BirthYear="0" CreditedAs=""

This one as well please.

Also from 'Kick-Ass':
Amber Chase is an 'additional makeup artist', so she should be listed as Art Department - custum. After parsing, she is listed as other - custum.

Credit CreditType="Other" CreditSubtype="Custom" CustomRole="Assistant Makeup Artist" FirstName="Amber" MiddleName="" LastName="Chase" BirthYear="0" CreditedAs=""

Thanks you in advance for this great tool and all the work you put into it! It's very much appreciated!

The download page is still on 2.1.13.0...

try the new version 

Thank your for the update! Parsing 'Kick-Ass' works without troubles, however some problems are still found in other profiles.
I added the code from what I copied directly from the programme. All examples are from the movie 'Lifeforce':

Every person that has 'credited as' is listed under director and not in the appropriate department.

  Credit CreditType="Direction" CreditSubtype="Director" FirstName="Stephen" MiddleName="David"  LastName="Brooks" BirthYear="0" CreditedAs="Steve Brooks"

Stephen David Brooks is part of the special visual effects crew and shouldn't be listed under director.

Film Editors and Wardrobe Department are listed under 'other' and not the respective departments.

  Credit CreditType="Other" CreditSubtype="Custom" CustomRole="Editor" FirstName="John" MiddleName="" LastName="Grover" BirthYear="1938" CreditedAs=""

  Credit CreditType="Other" CreditSubtype="Custom" CustomRole="Wardrobe Department" FirstName="Brian" MiddleName="" LastName="Cox" BirthYear="0" CreditedAs=""

'Additional Crew' still doesn't get parsed at all and departments with many listings get cut off. Since this only happens in combination with the other problems, I suspect this may be connected. The other movies, also movies with several 1000 crew members (e.g. Avengers: Age of Ultron) get parsed without this cut off.

Furthermore I noticed that after parsing the movie title gets an added 'Full Cast & Crew'. This doesn't happen with the profiles where the parsing works. The first example is from 'Lifeforce'. Notice the added 'Full cast & crew', that's missing in 'Leviathan'. 'Leviathan' parsed without problems, 'Lifeforce' with the aforemention problems.

  ?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?
  CrewInformation
  Title Lifeforce (1985) - Full cast & crew /Title

  ?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?
  CrewInformation>
  Title Leviathan (1989) /Title

I'm sorry to trouble you again, I'm uncertain if I may be alone with these problems and that they may lay with my PC, so I will try to check with another Computer soon. Again, thanks in advance!

I get that as well. For Star Trek: The Motion Picture I get 20 extra directors.

Be aware that CCE2 fetches wrong birth years from 2000 up for actors/actresses from time to time, even when they are correct in the IMDb. I just went through some profiles from the Alfred Hitchcock Box Set and noticed that.

For example in FRENZY (1972) the actors/actresses June Ellis, Drewe Henley, Bunny May and Jeremy Young came with fictitious birth years from 2000 up!
