| | Posted: | | | | I'm trying to find a way to keep track of my online streaming purchases (mostly Amazon, Flimmit, Apple and Google). Has anyone of you found a good way to do this with the Profiler? Do you use some custom media types?
PS: Sorry, if this has been discussed before, but the search function didn't yield any useful result. |

| | Posted: | | | | I use a custom media type called "Digital" and did a quick banner that says "HD Digital". It works fine though I am sure there is a better alternative but the work behind making that (somehow linking to the various streaming companies) happen would be near impossible. |

| | Posted: | | | | Along with custom media types and the banner, there are custom collection categories and icons you can create.
There is also a plugin, SideCar, that allows you to create custom fields. It has a few sample fields already created, such as the digital registration key and type. This is probably overkill for you and not suitable unless you don't mind a bit of tinkering , but you might read the documentation to get some ideas. If you decide to use the plugin, let me know. | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | I'm using a Collection Category 'Netflix' in conjunction with media-type 'Netflix' to keep track of titles I want to watch and more important titles I did watch. I just search the best fitting profile (in most cases BD because I like the ratio of the covers, US locality because no nasty rating stickers) and download it.  cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for the suggestions! :-)
I'll probably go for a mix of what was suggested. I'm thinking about a new Collection Category "Streaming" (or "Online") with custom media types for Netflix, Amazon,...
Now I just have to find a good way to mark SD/HD content in that scheme.
@mediadogg: I've just downloaded the manual and will have a look at SideCar on the weekend. Thanks! |

| | Posted: | | | | As I am owning only one item of streaming content so far (Kickstarter copy of the Veronica Mars movie) I'm simply using the self-defined Media Type "Digital Download" And for phpDVDProfiler I'm using this icon: Big:  Small:  | | | Karsten
