What vast differences?  Enumerate them.  Explain to me why Studio or Audio or Video data in a TV set is NOT Studio or Audio or Video data in a Movie set.  The TYPE of data is what counts, not what the actual value is.

Not true.

For a movie box set, you can't enter Studio or Audio or Video data at the parent level because the data changes, more often than not, throughout the child profiles. When you are done completing the child profiles, you know more info than you would have if you'd only set up just a parent profile.

Why should I enter that same unchanging data 10 times for a 10-disc TV set if it doesn't provide any additional knowledge?

So did I, but some users just want to keep counting and counting and counting, Pete. Maybe Tigi is related to Gore.

The results of this poll clearly indicate a preference for cast and crew entry in the parent profile.  The choice of whether to download individual disc profiles then becomes a matter of personal preference.  As I mentioned earlier, box set contents are automatically locked when the profile is added to the local database, so the user can clear them at that time (or just ignore them as they have no impact if the child discs don't exist locally).

As to the child profiles, we will accept them into the online database.  Once box set contents are added to the parent, removal will generally not be allowed.  The rules have been modified to indicate this.  Feedback on the changes is welcome.

I personally don't have child profiles for box sets of TV series, so I'll be happy to have the cast and crew info in the parent profile.

Ken,

I do have one question that hopefully you can advise us on.

We have instances where there is a conflict between using the disc ID of the first disc in a single season TV season for the "child profile" just for the first disc in that season, and that same disc ID is needed to profile the entire season when that season is a child of a "Complete Series" of a TV show.

Can you provide some guidance on this please?

My initial thought is that in either case, disc-level profiles should have content only from that disc.  How often does this occur?  Since we don't have grandchild profiles at the moment, how do you enter them currently.
