And if you want it to be even faster and easier: you don't even have to uncompress the file! The incremental update of phpDVDProfiler should support out of the box compressed files (either with LZ compression, gzip compression, bzip2 compression, or zip compression). You just have to upload the "collection.zip" (or "collection.xml.gz", or ...) file as you normally would and run the update. I use it personally with gzip compression, so I can attest that this one at least works.
Please note: given the size of your collection, you might encounter memory consumption problems, so test carefully. But in the worst case, you still have the possibility to manually unzip the file and run the update like you do it now.
I do perform an incremental update most of the time, i.e. I'll flag one or more new profiles I've just added to DVD Profiler performing an export. In those cases I don't need to zip the xml anyway as it's already so small. Once every month or two I export all my profiles however per catching any changes I've made to existing profiles, i.e. view history, tags and such. That's when I'll zip the resulting xml prior to uploading it.
Once uploading the zip I actually upload another xml which contains a single profile. I then run a full update replacing my existing online profiles with the one profile. I then extract the zip containing all my profiles and run another full update. This prevents the size of my SQL database from becoming bloated which I found was happening if I didn't first clear out my existing profiles basically. | Posted: Topic Replies: 68, Topic Views: 33205 |  | My "collection.xml" file currently weighs in at 248 MB. The same file zipped weighs in at 23.5 MB. As such, I've been uploading the zip file to my web space. Once uploaded I've been logging in to my Network Solutions account and unzipping the file using one of the web based tools they offer called "File Manager". That tool is currently unavailable, so I decided to see how else I could unzip a file residing on my FTP. Ended up finding a much better solution.
There's a PHP file available on Github here. You upload the file to the target directory on your FTP, the directory containing the zip file you'd like to extract. You then go to the URL for the PHP file. Said page displays a list of the available ZIP files residing in the same directory as the PHP file. You select the given ZIP file from the drop-down list, then press the "Unzip Archive" button. Works great! Needless to say, I won't be using the Network Solutions web based tool anymore. This method is much faster. | Posted: Topic Replies: 68, Topic Views: 33205 | |
