I should mention that by default DpOnlineBrowser will not show profiles that are rated Adult.
You can change that in General settings:



And ... reading the help file is always a good idea. I wrote it for you.

this program is addicting.  i have been working on my collection for 4 days in a row filling in missing details

Thank you! It's really good to get some feedback. That's the only way I can tell if people are using my tools.

I have discovered a serious problem with copying crew that is outside of my control, so download of DpOnlineBrowser is temporarily suspended until this problem has been resolved. Current users be aware!

I'm sorry about this. I should have discovered it before releasing the program! 

DpOnlineBrowser 1.2

A number of improvements:
1) Filtering the search result
2) Saving the search result to XML
3) Greatly improved cover image quality
4) Ability to show back cover
5) Shows if a Widescreen DVD is anamorphic or not
6) Lists subtitles
7) Showing both total number of credits and number of unique names
8) Looking up cast or crew member in IMDb

1) Filtering. Select Options / Filters from the menu to show the Filters window:

Filtering will remove all entries in the search result that do not match the filter. If you need more filtering options, save the result (see below) and open it in ProfilerQuery.

2) Save search result. Select File / Export to XML from the menu. The profiles in the search result will be saved to an XML file with the same format as the export from DVD Profiler. You can open it in ProfilerQuery for further querying.

Both Filtering and Saving to XML are rather slow since they require the full profiles to be downloaded from Invelos. A fast Internet connection is really helpful here. A progress indicator will be shown and you can abort if you think it takes too long.


4) Ability to show back cover. Right click on the cover image and select Show back cover from the context menu.

7) Cast/crew count. If someone occurs more than once in cast or crew credits, the count will show both total number of credits and number of unique names:


8) IMDb lookup. Right click on a name in cast or crew and select Lookup [name] in IMDb.

Brilliant work!   

Thank you!

DpOnlineBrowser 1.3

The main thing in this update is this:


You can now search for the release by UPC on Amazon. This works for localities Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, UK and USA. The search will be made on the Amazon site for the locality. So if you search for a French release (as in the illustration above), the search will be made on Amazon.fr.

There is a setting that determines how long the program will wait for the Amazon site to load. By default it is 5 seconds. If that turns out not to be enough, increase it. See the help file for more info.

Note that if you get a prompt to accept cookies, the search will fail and you will have to reply to that prompt and then do the search once more.

I have added Case Type to the list of properties that is displayed. Especially for those of you who are interested in steelbooks or slip covers.

There is a new setting that lets you decide if you want the locality suffix included when you do a Copy ID. This is turned off per default.

Finally, there is a kind of an Easter Egg. If you hold down shift when you start the program, an additional feature will be enabled.
See if you can find what it is! 

Just a heads up. HTTPJolie 1.51 had a bug that caused this program to malfunction.
If you update to HTTPJolie 1.55 it will work again.

DpOnlineBrowser 1.5


Click on the image for video.

The search is now done in two phases. Phase 1 (the 6 leftmost columns) takes its data from your local online profile list, so it is quite fast, since no download is involved.

Phase 2, the remaining 4 columns, requires a download for each profile. This is done in the background, and you can see in real time how each row is being updated. This is much slower.

While phase 2 is performed, all the other functions of the program are functional. In phase 2 you can also have the program highlight profiles that are in your collection (see the two profiles in the illustration). You might think that this would be a simple thing that could even have been accomplished in phase 1. Unfortunately this turned out to be more complicated that I expected, and it also slows down phase 2 a bit further. Because of this, I have made this function optional. You can turn it on or off in the settings.

A note on the Amazon search. Popups like cookie prompts (or other prompts that come before the normal website) hinders the paste of the UPC in the search field. The same might go for login prompts. Once you are logged in and "cookied", the search should work.

Happy Easter everyone!
