| | Posted: | | | | I have been using DVDP for years and have really enjoyed it. I currently have about 400 discs in my collection and have only had a few odd titles that I couldn't find in the database. Recently I purchased a Blu-Ray player and also have purchased several discs but have been unable to locate any in the DVDP database and am wondering if I am doing something wrong. These are all very popular titles so I was suprised not to find them. I have the following; Cars, Bridge to Terabithia, High School Musical 2, Ratatouille, and POC Dead Man's Chest.

| | Posted: | | | | Which locality's profile are you after? I can personally vouch for the US BDs of those five titles, but outside of the US locality, profiles for both hi-def formats are often on the sketchy side. |

| | Posted: | | | | Nadja's right - outside the US, there aren't that many HD profiles in the database yet. But just to double-check, if you're searching by title - make sure the Media section has blu-ray ticked. If they're aren't there - what you could do is download the US profile instead and edit it to match your own disc rather than start a new profile from scratch. Just make sure you check all the info before submitting to the online!  Just to give you an idea, the US currently lists 547 blu-ray profiles, the UK only lists 124. | | | | Last edited: by northbloke |

Now that I think about it I can see why, the big studios are pretending that the Canadian Dollar is still worth .78 US so we can get Ratatouille from Amazon.com for $20 but pay about $10 more in Canada since it lists for $44.95 here! Add all the BOGO sales and you have to be crazy to buy the Canadian version. | | | | Tom. | | | | Last edited: by Tom Smith |

| | Posted: | | | | Maybe the region setting is playing you up? Regions are all a bit up in the air on BD profiles, personally I set the program's default to all region so as to pick up everything. |

Mike Have you ever had any problems with Profiler connecting to update the profile list? I noticed in your example you have 332,000 titles in the list, but I've got 336,000 in mine. The Ratatouille that is missing in your list shows up in an identical search on my machine, so all I can think of is that your profile list is out of date. The missing Ratatouille was added to the database on Dec 7, Bridge to Terabithia was added on Dec 10. So I can only assume that for some reason your list hasn't been updated since before those dates. That would be why the UPC codes wouldn't work either. What you might be able to do, until you can get this sorted, is to add the discs as a manual profile (but using the UPC to add it), then ask Profiler to check to see if there are any updates to the profile - it should find the online one and download it. But obviously in the long term you need to find out why the list hasn't been updating. | | | | Last edited: by northbloke |

| | Posted: | | | | Yup, both are definitely in the database. See my post above about a possible out of date profile list. |

Mike Glad to hear you've finally got them loaded, but the lack of updates is a mystery to me - I've been looking through all the options and I can't find any way of switching it off - even deliberately! All I can think of is maybe - are you running some kind of firewall that is preventing Profiler accessing the online list? Though I would think that would stop profile downloads too... There is a way of doing it manually: in the Online menu there's an option called Refresh Online Profile List. Select that and see what happens. |
