Hi,

for those interested: I created a W3C schema file for the collection.xml export file of DVDProfiler 3.1.0 Build 1151. Also I added a C# file. With it you can import the collection.xml in any .NET application (see sample application)

XML Schema

sample application

There is one drawback: Ken exports boolean values as "True" and "False". This is not XML conform. In my sample I do a global search&replace before importing the file.

I posted a Schema in the Plugin Development forum a while ago. I haven't it updated to 3.1, but if you are interested (and have access), you can take a look. I would love to do a "compare and contrast", but I currently don't have the time.

Cool. This has saved me much typing. It still seems to be compatible with the XML exported by version 3.1.1.1171

You can avoid having to 'prepare' the booleans by defining a local enum type, eg:

  <xs:simpleType name="CapitalizedBoolean">
    <xs:restriction base="xs:string">
      <xs:enumeration value="False"/>
      <xs:enumeration value="True"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>

It seems strange that DVDProfiler doesn't ship with a proper schema for this -- we'll have to keep our own schema up-to-date when new versions come out.
