"None" in movie listings - Blu-ray Forum

Jamison · 03-02-2010, 01:23 PM

There is a new price tracker bug today. Most of the movies I'm tracking have the word "None" tacked on front. For example: "None Batman Begins". See the attached screen shot.

I've noticed the word "None" in front of most movie titles that are listed, both in searches and in my own collection listing.

A database glitch, perhaps?

Ah... you are using the simple movie-list layout, that was why I didn't find it

This should have been fixed now, let me know if you find any more problems

Thanks, iceman, that fixed the issue in the "My price tracker" page, but the "None" still appears in the green price tracker box at the top of the site.

I'm posting this bug here because it may be related to the recent price tracker bug. While the "None" has been removed in the price tracker list and green box, now any movie I look at is entitled "Dr. No"! See attached screen shot.

Hey JamisonC. I started a thread about this here, not having spotted this thread or post!

Looking at your screenshot, if you delete "Dr No" from your Price Tracker then all movies you look at will be retitled as "Wolf".

Thanks for fixing the "None" bug in price tracking, but I've found it somewhere else. The "Blu-ray Community - Statistics" page at "https://www.blu-ray.com/community/stats.php" also has the "None" bug showing up in the titles listed there.

I might be in the minority but I find this page to be very informative and check it occasionally. This page displays some key data on the current state of blu-ray.

I'm not sure if this is the thread for it, but I'd like to suggest some improvements to this page:

(1) Add audio stats. I would just include the best (or top) audio option on blu-rays. I think this would be an interesting stat, showing whether Dolby or DTS is winning, 5.1 vs. 7.1, and so on.

(2) Add short explanations for each statistic, because it's unclear in some cases what is being measured. For example, how were the "Top 20 most popular movies" arrived at? Highest average overall score? Are the "Top 20 studios" the most popular amongst those in collections on the site or in the database? This question applies to the rest of the stats, too. Does "Country share" measure discs released by companies based in the countries or the countries the discs can be played in or the number of users from these countries?

(3) What if there was a link to this page from the "What is Blu-ray?" and "Blu-ray FAQ" pages? Or even the home page. More people should see these stats, it seems to me.

1-3 are also very good suggestions, we will do something about that in a not too far future

Hi

Btw, even if we want to contribute with a synopsis i guess we can't search them properly... i mean how to search those editions without them ?

Thanks

The "None" bug rears it's ugly head again, this time in the price tracker e-mails.

This also shows a bug that has been present since I joined last year: the "current price" is wrong, it's actually the price before it dropped.

Thanks a lot for reporting, *should* be fixed

(This time it was actually not my fault either
