I have entered several sets into the program and it doesnt count the number of discs in the set properly.Can someone tell me why?My captain scarlet set is only counted as one when there are more than one disc in the set""

Hi I am a new member

I have the almost same issue. I have 25 movies added but the count states only 2.   does the above solution fixed this issue as well?  Also what is the difference between the count and the collection number and count as.  I have tried both and seems to give me over 100 + movies which I only have added 25 do far. Last How to I count multiple moves in one case like matrix collection 4 discs in one case.

thanks dave

So the parent profile is the movie i added to the database?  I just changed the matrix collection to count as 3 meaning  3 movies but have the collection count number as 24. IS that how i want to do this?

Not sure what you are doing there.

Normally, when adding a boxset (parent-profile) by UPC you'd be asked to enter the sub-profiles (child-profiles) too. So there shouldn't be any need to work with "Count As" and collection numbers all that much.

Please give the UPC of the parent profile and I'll try to give you a little help on how to achieve the goal.

Actually it can have any value between 0 and 32767. If you try a bigger value, you get an unhandled exception.

Oops,
you don't want to say that infinite is bigger than 32768, do you?

Matrix collection UPC  883929035953

This is a boxset, which should contain 4 sub-profiles (Children)
(Disc ID: 039B-E2D4-C373-57DF)
(Disc ID: 89CC-C29C-9BE4-0F5F)
(Disc ID: 97AB-8FD7-281F-BB70)
(Disc ID: B954-9C6D-2C45-0742)
This is recognisable by the little "+" in the upper left corner of the profile in your collection list.
If the + isn't there: Highlight the profile and check for child profiles (If I'm not entirely wrong this function is in the menu "Online").

A possible setting would be:
Parent Profile:
Count As: 0
Coll #: None
Children:
Count As: 1
Coll #: According to your preferences (e.g. 1 - 4)

The Arrival Two feature films on one DVD  UPC 01223607610

Now this is a special case. I handle these this way:
Main profile is empty, with two manual sub-profiles added which contain the data of the movies.

A possible setting would be:
Parent Profile:
Count As: 1
Coll #: According to your preferences (e.g. 5)
Children:
Count As: 0
Coll #: None

The "official" way would be to enter the data of the 2 features into the main-profile, divided by an "Episode-Divider". A possible setting for this would be:
Count As: 1
Coll #: According to your preferences (e.g. 5)

Lord of the Rings Extended blue-ray edition UPC 794043151293

And another one that has some fun.
Here we have three main-features which expand over two discs each.

Please download the correct child-profiles (if they haven't downloaded automatically or the download was declined manually).

A possible setting would be:
Parent Profile:
Count As: 0
Coll #: None
Features:
Count As: 1
Coll #: According to your preferences (e.g. 6 - 8)

what I would like is each movie counted even if it is in a boxset. below does work now.

Here Scott is what I have done

I do not count the parent profile

Arrival movies "children" 1 each

LOTR set counted as 3 since they are three movies with different names.

Matrix movies "Children" as 1 each

With this my counts is correct if I do not count that parent profile. which is one of Lewis Prothero's ideas.

Which works. I do not use the collection count this make numbering complicated to me. Comments welcome I am leaning how this software works.Sorry I was reediting that last post when you replied to it.

What does this mean distinguish between Features and Profiles.  what is a profile each movie I add the parent?  This is maybe what I am not understanding. Do you mean just count the parent movies not each children?
