Don't know if this is a problem but something i noticed when using the CLT it can give a slightly wrong reading

as you can see even though there are only 2 Titles here the CLT shows it as 3 because there is a different production year on one of them (They are all the same film), as i said don't know if this is a problem or not just thought it might be worth mentioning.

It's not a problem as the tool "thinks" the Split Second movies are not the same because of the different production years. However I like to thank you for mentioning it.

The problem is not caused by the production year. It is caused by two different factors based on your screen shot. The UPC # is totally different from the other three, and the two which are the same, also show the same Production year, so I would suspect that the differentiator would be the locality.

Speaking of CLT, it would be helpful if one could actually see what job/role the person is actually credited for, especially for crew. (I mean directly in the list overview.)

No, that's just not true. The "titles" is supposed to reflect the number of different movies the actor appeared in. The tool counts different titles as different movie but also same titles with different birth year. It would be totally stupid too count same titles once for every locality (the profiles number already does that). For titles it counts the two 1991 Split Second as one, the 1992 Split Second as two and Killer Instinct as three.

I don't think the locality has anything to do with the count, either.  It seems clear that the two 1991 titles MUST have different localities, since without intervention by Ken or Gerri the database won't hold more than one title per UPC.  So if the locality were a factor, we should see 4 titles instead of 3.

I think the system considers all DVDs with the same combination of title and year as a single, unique "Title" for the count.
