Post subject: | Import from DVD Hunter |
I saw a thread about Importing from a competing DVD cataloguing app (DVD Cache) was supported. I have been using DVD Hunter for a few years but it is no longer supported. Is it possible to import my DVD catalog from DVD Hunter into Coollector? |

History > March 20, 2014 > version 4.1.3 [NEW] Import from DVD Hunter I assume there's some instructions on how to do this? BTW, I have not purchased this yet. I'm still researching. |

Another user has made me realize that in the case of DVD Hunter there are a few subtleties to know, that's why the next version of Coollector will display this message: "When you use DVD Hunter to produce the XML file, if the menu "Export" doesn't list "XML Exporter", you'll have to install it by clicking "Get Other Plug-Ins". Also please note that you'll have to select all your movies because DVD Hunter exports only the currently selected movies." Please tell me if you need more help. |

None of these folders contains a XLM file. Here’s a list of what I have… Cover (folder full of .jpg files) CSS (folder with two .css files) index.html file Items (folder full of .html files) Javascript (folder with two .js files) Coollector > Tools > Import a List > Import from DVD Hunter shows me a window but all of the files are greyed out and unselectable. |

You have to run DVD Hunter, and select the menu "Files->Export->Get Other Plug-Ins". There you'll install the plugin "XML Exporter". Now you'll have access to the menu "Files->Export->XML Exporter". |

My bad. I confused html with xml. My version of DVD Hunter (1.1.17) did not have xml exporter installed and was not available from “Get Other Plug-Ins”. I downloaded and installed version 1.2 from the DVD Hunter web site. And, there it is, XML Exporter was available for installation. Took one second. Click File > Export > XML Exporter > Save as > Restart Mac into Mavericks OSX > Open Coollectors > Tools > Import a List > Import from DVD Hunter XML > navigate to .xml file I saved earlier > Click “Open” > Let Coollectors do its thing > only 4 titles unrecognized > make a note of these titles > Import Recognized Titles (863 in total) 4 titles unrecognized Guge Tabacco Roody The Layout The Yogis of Tibet I’ll look these up and see if I can contribute something. Thanks for help |

You just have to provide the IMDb Id: http://www.coollector.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=116 Welcome on board! |

DVD Hunter (Macintosh) no longer supports Export as XML on my Macintosh (is it no longer listed in the plugins) Here's what I did: Start DVD Hunter Select ALL of your titles Go to File/Export: Hunter Package Exporter (to your desktop) You will get a file called: Library.dhpack Right (control) click on that file and select: Show Package Contents You will find a file called: package.xml. (move that file to your desktop or another folder) In Coollector go to: Tools...import a list.... DVD Hunter xml Select the "package.xml" file to import Hope that helps someone. |
