IMDB vs DVD Profiler

[shinnlly]

Quick question. I have everything running well on my SageTV system, using HD200 as an extender and my server running on WHS. I am posting here since I am running SageMC and I have no idea if the generic interface even works with DVD Profiler.

I have installed the trial version of DVD Profiler and entered a few movies. SageTV is configured to read this data and it is coming in fine.

However, I am now at the decision point on purchasing DVD Profiler and I am having a hard time finding the value in using it versus using the built-in imdb link built into SageTV. Especially since imdb has all the children's videos I have looked for so far and DVD Profiler did not.

If you had no desire to run DVD Profiler outside of your SageTV system, what is the advantage of using it with SageTV?

Larger cover art. A more consistent look to the cover art. I can get series DVDs to work so it shows 1 icon for a series of discs. I use it outside of Sage on another PC and the sife just loves how everything just shows up without messing with anything at the extender. (I refresh the info from a client). Easier to edit changes in the descriptions ot tiltes then messing with a remote from Sage. And it doesn't cost that much.

You sold me at the consistent cover art. :-) Not editing things with the remote is just gravy.

Thanks for the reply.
