I tried again today, now it worked also with synchronizing the database...

Hi,
I am completely new to this forum as I have found this App only today,
but I have problems and need your help:

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note device (rooted) with Gingerbread and a PC with Windows7-32 bit.
I have downloaded the "Droid_DVDP.apk" and installed it on my device.
After the installation, I ran the App for a first time as recommended by Olivier, but in contradiction to his instructions, it did not tell me that my collection is empty, it only showed me a blank black screen, that was all.
I started the App a 2nd time but with the same result.
I even uninstalled it and installed it again, but no change, only a blank black screen.

Then I installed the Exporter PlugIn (setup b0.4.exe) and that worked okay, I can find and open the PlugIn in DVD-Profiler.
When I open the PlugIn, it seems to need to refresh the "Droid DVD root path", so I click on "Refresh" and it starts searching.

With USB-Debugging OFF it just says:
"Scanning to find android devices...
No Android device found.
Scanning done."

With USB-Debugging ON it is a bit better, but the result is the same.
I get:
"Scanning to find android devices...
Found: 304D19C34F209AAE
Searching device for Droid DVDP root directory...
file 'droid_dvdp_is_here' not found on device.
    Run Droid DVDP on device first, and it will create it.
Search done.
Scanning done.

And this, even though my default directory structure I guess seems to be correct as follows:

/sdcard/droid_dvdp/
/sdcard/droid_dvdp/database
/sdcard/droid_dvdp/images
/sdcard/droid_dvdp/images/thumbnails
/sdcard/droid_dvdp/droid_dvdp_is_here
/sdcard/droid_dvdp/.nomedia

I don't know what the meaning of the last file ".nomedia" is, but the "droid_dvdp_is_here"-file is definitely there, I can see it, why can't the PlugIn find it?!?

However,
if I then click on "Export Collection", the PlugIn is doing something, but it ends with a zero-result anyway:

after I while, I get the following:
"Copy DB to device...
Removing device databases
Clearing ...scanning device...database/*:rm failed for ...scanning. No such file or directory
Copying database to device...
cmdush "W:\Users\Thomas\Documents\Droid_DVDP\droid_dvdp.db" "...scanning device.../database/droid_dvd.db"
result : failed to copy 'W:\Users\Thomas\Documents\Droid_DVDP\droid_dvdp.db' to...scanning device... /database/droid_dvdp.db': No such file or directory
result :
Export Done.


So, this is the "State of Play" on my device,
I have now worked 8 hours to possibly fix it, but I am at the end with my wisdom!
Pitty the App does not run on my device,
can anybody please help me to get it to work?

Many thanks in advance,
Tom

ok it sounds like everything is basically going the right way just some small issues.

I think what is happening is that your phone it auto mounting as mass storage, when you look in your My Computer see if you see the phone as removable storage.

If that is the case, then you just need to use the "Use Removable Disk" Option.

Post up what you find out.

Thanks for your answer,
glad to see I am not the only one awake at this time of the day! 
I am afraid the Samsung Galaxy Note seems to be somewhat different to other Android devices!?
Basically there are 2 methods to connect my device to the PC:
1.) With "USB-Debugging" enabled:
in this case, when I connect the device to the PC, I can see it as 2 removeable disks (1 for the sd-card and 1 for the external sd-card), BUT I CANNOT ACCESS THEM.
2.) If I switch USB-Debugging OFF, I can connect the Android device to the PC as "Mass Storage" and I can see and access the 2 removeable disks on my PC.

As far as I can see, there is no option to connect my device as "Removeable Disk", I only have the option to connect as "USB Mass Storage".

Whereas I don't understand the difference between "Mass Storage" and "Removeable Disk"!?
Isn't that the same???

And as I write this, I just found something else called "USB-Tethering".
Is this what I need?
I don't know what it is, I just see that I cannot switch it on while USB Mass Storage is in use.

Curious, but thankful for your (everybody's) help!
Kind regards over the big pond,
Tom

Edit:
The "USB-Tethering" cannot be activated anyway, but as far as I can see, it's not what I need for the purpose.

Edit 2:
USB-Tethering can be activated, but only if USB-cable is not yet connected.
But from what I have seen now, this is by no means what I need!

Well, IF your mass storage has a drive letter that is all that matters.

My Evo 4G comes up as a removable mass storage, my Asus Transformer shows up as a media Device.

They have to be handled very differently in getting everything to work.

But if you get a drive letter, it should be fairy straight forward on getting things to work.

Take a screen grab of your "My Computer" and post it, and we can get an idea what we are working with it.

Thanks again for your answer,
didn't find the button to insert pictures until now 
but here it is 6 a.m. and I am a bit tired already.
However:
here's the screen grab finally, the 2 drives marked (in the red rectangle) is my Android device, the bigger one is the external Micro-SDHC-card:

Ok you are golden then.
on your J drive you should have the /sdcard/droid_dvd/
if that is the case just use this set up.
then you should be ok.
If for some reason that doesnt work you can just manually copy file to the proper directories.

Hi Robert,
do you know that you not only made my day (and the night too on this end), but also made my whole weekend?!
Using your advice (and thanks to the screenshot) IT FINALLY WORKED!!!
Now I have my DVD-Profiler collection on my beloved Samsung Galaxy Note too, I AM ABSOLUTELY HAPPY!!!



And even though the database is now something around 105MB, that didn't impress my sd-card much! 

Thank you very, very much for your help,
I owe you a beer (or two)! 

All the best and kind regards,
Tom

No problem, I am finishing up watching Veronica Mars so no biggie.

With a collection of about 650 titles, unless you are exported full cast and crew 105mb sounds kinda huge, unless that is also including covers and thumbs.

My actual DB is about 5.8mb with images taking about 320mb

Glad you got it all sorted out, enjoy

-Robert

Thanks again,
in fact I am sort of "I want it all"-type of guy, so I exported full cast and crew and all the pictures, everything I could get!
My Database on the PC is ~ 435MB, and not even that would have been a problem.

You can be glad that YOU sorted it out, I am just happy and be sure that I do enjoy this!
The open question is, why the people at Invelos did not get an App out for Android and why all the works is left to kind and helpful people like you and Olivier?
I mean we all have paid for DVD-Profiler, so maybe it would have been nice to listen to customers who demanded a Mobile-Android App since long!

And finally: WTF is Veronica Mars? 

Olivier, no problem

I look forward to seeing the newer version.

As for a tablet, I now have a 10.1 screen ( Asus Transformer ) and I have access to a smaller screen tablet close to a kindle.

I would suggest making some of the image size options user selectable then you just have some pre sized templates and the user can pic what works for them.

I would also like to make text a tad bigger in the list as well as the profile view. Currently the size works well on a phone, but it a bit small for a larger format device.

Thanks again for a great product

-Robert


PS - you still need to get a Donate button going :D

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, it seems all the rescent Samasung Galaxy phone would work the same way and have to transfer the data to the phone via drive mappings. Another person on the Droid DVDP forums had the same issue with the Galaxy S. I think its to do with the way the phone (or the Note) have internal memory setup as the SDcard as well have having an SD card slot available.

I to would like to add my thanks to Oliver for his efforts.

@Oliver did you see the post I made here ?

Hi.

I know that there is one year without update.

I don't know how does Ken to continue his business with a lifetime buy license. Are enough new users every month to pay the servers disks for the growing DVD/bluray database, the upload and download of users' collection, and the forums traffic.

Maybe should he work on a new version 4.0 that we would buy again, of pay a small annual fee. It's not that I want to spend my money, but if the company is down (with the servers), I think I'll cry next time I'd like to add a new profile in my collection.
