Having tried out the online search facility, the point is well-taken. I withdraw.

There is no basis in the rules for all you no sayers. And what will you do if there is a divider in the credits with role names for each of the actors? Take both the Divider role and the role for the actors? That will be messy.

I agree in concept with pompel.. I believe it is too messy but I keep that aspect locally. So i contribute and remove. God forbid users like Rho should actually modify their own local database to conform to ther own requirements.

The divider is a sequential element, not a hierarchical one. It has no relation to other credit entries that is supported by DVDProfiler itself. In short, for DVDProfiler its function is decorative only. It may look nicer to omit the roles and use a group header - if you just want to marvel at the beauty of a single profile's cast list, that is. As soon as you actually try do something with the data you gathered, it breaks.

That's true for episode dividers as well, btw. You have to use 3rd party tools like my Credits Plus to create a relationship between dividers and regular credit entries. DVDProfiler itself doesn't utilize them.

How should the groups in the following cast list be credited?

I currently have a divider for Dolphins and each person credited as playing Dolphin (should there be a divider?)
The two groups of themselves individually credited as Himself (no divider).
A divider of The Teams followed by a divider for each team with the individuals listed under the appropriate team name divider and credited as the team name.

This has not been submitted yet. Thanks for suggestions.

The credits look approximately like this

That's a complicated one greyghost! From what you've described though, I think you've got it the same way I'd have done it.

No, it's complicated because of the mixture of credits under headings and individual credits. I wasn't even thinking of the "as credited" rule.
