It would be nice if there was an option in the "Online Collection Settings" to only show the items which have a collection number because I don't think anyone likes to see every single disc listed. I know it bothers me a lot when I have to use the webpage. For example my Columbo collection uses up a whole screen and a half. 

I only assign numbers where to me it makes sense and it would be nice if my web collection would reflect that. Shouldn't be hard to implement.

In the program you should be able to filter on Collection Number: None, then flag all filtered profiles and Set Exclusions: Hide in public online listing. Possibly also private listing if you wish.

Then I would also have to do that for every new disc I add. Adding an option here should be a lot easier (1h of coding)?

Yes, but it is much easier since the option is available as check boxes directly in the personalize window, which I assume you use when adding new titles anyway.

I actually don't, no. You can skip that dialog for subitems.

I will probably just go ahead and write a couple of PHPs to host on my homepage where I can customize the list.

There are two projects that do that: Share or export your DVD/BD-list

I use phpDVDProfiler and I'm quite happy with it.

phpDVDProfiler sounds interesting, thanks! I will check that one out.

Don't think they are going to put any work in the online version anymore since it still looks the same it did 10 years ago.

Nice software, but it's also too much work for my tastes having to update yet another database after every edit... People have too much time on their hands, hm? 

I will write a wrapper which loads the HTML from invelos.com and filters out the entries I don't want. Not as flexible, but it'll do the job.

You might be able to automate this using a command file.

Yeah, that is the downside, although I have it honed down to one click export in Profiler, then one batch-file for upload and lastly triggering the website.

That might be a plug-in, but I'm afraid there are not enough users to warrant such an undertaking.

That is pretty much a prerequisite for using DVD Profiler in the first place!
