Another question would be how do i add titles to make up a boxset?   

All i can see is titles i already have in my database.


If the titles in the Box Set are individually packaged, i.e., with their own UPC, just add them by UPC to your collection. When you’ve added all the titles that pertain to the Box Set, edit your Box Set parent profile and go to the Box Set section. Enter the first title in the search box below and then select it to add as child to the parent. Do that with all of the titles for your Box Set.


What if it don't have a UPC?

Then Add it to your collection under Inserted Disc (by Disc ID). If a profile already exists, then add it to your collection and follow the same procedures as stated above. If a profile doesn't already exist for that Disc ID then you'll have to create one. Either do it manually or do as mithi suggested here:

I have a blu-ray of a title and don't have a blu-ray drive in my computer. Someone contributes the disc ID's for the parent profile box set contents, but no one makes a child profile using the ID's.

BulkEdit adds amongst other things the function "Clone Children from DiscIDs" to Collection -> Flagged which will do exactly this.

Also very nice for TV-Series when you want to create Disc-Level-Profiles.

Hi, I am getting a little tired of adding all the UK BD Releases myself. Wheter I get a title that's been out for 4 days or 14 days.. it's usually not in the Datebase... WHY NOT?
All German and American and French titles are always there on release date.. so whats wrong with the UK ?


If I'm interested in an upcoming title (and have time) I'll add it to the database as a pre-release so at least on release people have something to update (and updating rather than contributing a new title means people have a chance to vote on it which IMO is a good thing).
I don't know what the price paterning is in Germany or France but given the rapid price drop common after a few months in the UK maybe most people don't buy on release anymore (I know I used to but nowadays, with such a large backlog, I'll wait until most titles are at least half price if not less). Also. for me, I still buy a lot of DVDs compared to BDs because I watch them away from home and don't have a BD player for that so I'll be contributing the DVD... if other people similarly split their purchases that means only half of titles that used to be contributed will actually be BDs so reducing the number and being another reason you don't find them there.

Edited to add: Plus of course when some BDs are put out as BD, BD+DVD, 3D BD +  2D BD, BD+DVD+Dicgital etc, it futner cuts down the chances of the one you bought being contributed.

Latest Example: "Bunraku" still not added to the database


Never heard of it... have you tried buying titles that are popular blockbusters? They're much more likely to be contributed on release
It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong
