Collection miscounted # of movies? - Blu-ray Forum

growler · 07-27-2012, 06:42 AM

I had: My Blu-ray collection (535 movies, 10 TV seasons, 501 SKUs)

Added 3 new BDs:
Hunt for Red October
Fiddler on the Roof
War of the Worlds (2005)

Now shows:

My Blu-ray collection (539 movies, 10 TV seasons, 504 SKUs)

So SKU count correct but, appears to be counting one of these new movies as two?

They are set to "1 unique movie". Try deleting them from your collection and as you add them again see what effect it has on your movie count (try to look after each one)

Good idea. I deleted, checked the total BD count & then re-added for each of those 3 new titles in turn. Worked as expected, deleting dropped total by 1 for each. Adding back increased total by 1 for each.

I'm going to have to count them all. groan.

Do you know how many titles fit on a page? Is it a standard amount? I have 3 pages on my desktop iMac for a total of 549 BDs (539 movies + 10 TV series)

I figured a way to quickly count. I C/P onto a document which fits only 2 titles per page & 252 pages so 504 BDs which agrees with the SKU count.

So I did not add a title twice. The count of 539 movies means that 35 extra are due to sone movies counting as 2. I have at least a few double features.

BTW, is it possible to look only at a list of my TV season BDs? I checked the sort by drop down list & don't see any way to even have them all at the top. I want to check since I think I only have 8 & not 10 BD TV seasons.

Maybe this is a cache issue?

Everything updates. When I did the test you suggested it immediately updated the new totals 6x. Deleting & then adding back 3 titles one at a time for 6 changes.

I'm guessing no method to look only at TV shows?

Are documentaries counted as TV seasons?

I guess it would depend on their origin. If they were given theatrical releases they would be counted as movies but a BBC documentary would come out as a TV season.

I just now saw the system make an error or correct the one from last month where it added an extra movie to the count.

I had 555 movies, 520 SKUs.
I added 2 titles; Red Heat & 48 Hours.
I now have 556 movies, 522 SKUs.
No other changes.

Some times changes are made to the "unique count" of a SKU. For example, Scarface was listed as having 2 "unique" movies but actually it only has one Blu-ray movie and the unique movie count was adjusted to 1. Also The Dirty Dozen was listed as having 2 unique movies but one The Dirty Dozen: The Next Mission is an SD extra and not a blu-ray movie.

The Site Manager made the corrections yesterday and since you own The Dirty Dozen, once you added the two new titles, you collection count refreshed. You added two unique movies, but since The Dirty Dozen is now accounted for as 1 unique movie your Blu-ray collection only went up by one.

Well i've got 123 movies including ones on order and it's showing as 120

UPDATE: it was my Italian Indy steelbook ,probably as it's only just been added so stuck the French one in until it gets registered properly and reading as 123 now.hey my psn ID is stu123 and i've exactly 123 blu-rays -i need to get out more.That's probably a good tip if your amount isn't right,look for the one that's only just been added to the website.
