Movies XML File Lists - Blu-ray Forum

If this thread that I am starting goes against this site rules, then a Mod can go on and delete this. I just figured it would save on people from making new threads asking how to use XMLs and where they could get the XML file.

Since people have been asking what XML files are and how to use them as well as where they could get the file. So, I decided to go ahead and make thread where people can get thee XML info and how they work.

An XML file is a file that are found on a Digital Copy Disc that iTunes uses for validation purposes for redeeming digital copies of select movies. The XML file has the info iTunes needs to find to right movie of a certain movie in their database. When someone redeems a digital copy file with just the XML, you will get an error message after redemption when it attempts to transfer the movie to your PC. This message is expected, and you will be able to find the movie in your iCloud storage for download or stream (on most digital copies).

The steps of making the XML file with the XML info:

1) Copy and Paste the XML info (provided in this thread) to Wordpad or Notepad. Also, if you copy and paste from the spreadsheet that Zu Nim provided the link to, check to see if these " " are at the beginning and end of the info. If they are, then delete those quotation marks.
2) Save the file with this name: iTunesInfo.xml as an Open Document Text. (Really it shouldn't matter what option you choose to save the file as, since you are basically changing the way it is saved when you have the'.xml' at the end of the file name.) Also, you might get an error message the document being saved as a text only doc, but this is normal and just click yes.
3) Move the newly made XML file to an empty USB/Flash drive.
4) Remove the USB drive from the PC, and open iTunes, if not already open.
5) Re-insert the USB into the PC

Now, iTunes should automatically sense the file and open a special redemption page for the specific movie in iTunes.

Here is a link that was created and maintained by dtPUNISHER that has all the XML info of each movie that requires disc/XML to redeem the iTunes digital copy. Also, if you are having trouble copying & pasting the XML info due to getting quotation marks, try viewing the spreadsheet as a list instead of normal. This way will allow you to highlight the info instead of clicking the box and copying the XML info that way:
