Here's something I'd like to try: Since I've deleted my BD data, I'm wondering how many "files" need to be saved for a Magnolia menu not to show up. So I'm letting the BD data build up again, and when I encounter another Magnolia disc, I'll delete them one by one to, hopefully, know for sure.
Probably meaningless, but what the heck.

Keep in mind that the data listed in the BD Data folder is mostly BD-Live downloadable content. The files listed are not directly associated with what the Magnolia discs are storing. Clearing this folder, by highlighting it->pressing Triangle->Delete All, will clear out both storage locations. And as already mentioned, it will fix any disc that wasn't previously working.

With regards to some Magnolia discs not working as intended, it seems most complaints are coming from the Netflix versions. While I am not directly involved with Netflix on any level whatsoever, I can assure everyone here that the matter is being looked into.

I would like to know which RETAIL/PURCHASED (NOT RENTAL) discs did not work. If you could provide titles and the player used to playback the disc, it would greatly help in resolving this issue.

Thank You

Chris

Just curious, who exactly are you involved with?

ChrisDVD · 04-05-2013, 05:19 PM

I am one of the programmers on a few of the titles mentioned. I am currently investigating the issue.

Thanks

Chris

Well good to know.
I can't speak for everyone, but I can say that every Magnolia title I've rented from Netflix encountered this problem. It seesm like such an odd problem.

Can you tell me what player you used? If its the PS3, can you give me the Model and FW revision?

Thanks

Thank You. This issue happened on EVERY Magnolia Disc rented from Netflix? Any chance you may have rented a Magnolia Disc from Blockbuster or RedBox and the issue did NOT occur?

I can guarantee it's Netflix, because it's the only rental outlet I use. I didn't think Magnolia made those dreaded "rental copies"?

ChrisDVD · 04-05-2013, 09:26 PM

As far as I know, Magnolia does NOT make "Rental" copies.

Thanks again for your help.

And I hope they never do! I feel bad for only owning a couple Magnolia titles, but after searching for all their BDs in the database I was surprised that I've seen, pretty much, every one of their BD releases. A lot of good films there.

Its not just rentals. I can't get my copy of John Dies at the end to load.

What player and FW Revision? Is it the same issue where menus do not appear onscreen?

Thanks
