App in development

[jrauseo]

Did anyone else experience a loss of titles from their collection in the app? Not sure if an update moved some titles or categorized some differently, but I went from 1066 to 1040 overnight. I've since added more so my current total is higher. This happened a few days ago last week.

Any reason why that would have happened? Anyone else see that happen to them?

Any way we can get a filter for "unwatched" from the collection? Would be nice to filter that and select movies from there

What you are looking for is called 'New' in the app. They are sorted with most recently added first.

These 'New' items controlled by the 'Watched' setting in the Collection Edit view. Once you set the 'Watched' flag, they will be removed from the 'New' filter. If you also set the watched date, you are able to sort by it.

A jump in the collection count can be a combination of the following:

• A change to the 'unique movies' count for one or more blu-ray entries in the database.
• App not syncing with your blu-ray.com collection.
• Bug.

To narrow down what could be the cause, do you remember when you updated to get 1040? This helps us track which movies had the 'unique movies' changed.
If this is a long time ago and you've updated your collection on the site (added or removed items), then the count in the app is most likely a bit off.


Update:
You have 844 movie products in your collection, a total of 1048 unique movies. I've checked your current collection and there has been only a minor change (+1) in the 'unique movies' count in the beginning of May. Maybe you have deleted something from your collection between those updates?

Sorry for posting in two threads... just didn't know which one was more appropriate.

It has been requested before and it's on the TODO
I'll try to look at it soon.

Hey thanks for the response. I didn't remove anything - my only thought is that TV seasons are no longer counted as "unique movies"? Could that be the case?

I know I didn't touch my collection count recently other than to add a bunch of titles. Hmm

Just wondering if this has been considered?

The app supports the collection types that the site has: Digital movie medias are iTunes, Amazon Instant Video and Ultra Violet.

I guess using Ultra Violet is the closest alternative to track such a collection.

Example: https://www.blu-ray.com/uv/Inside-Ou...aViolet/15986/

A single TV season is counted as one 'unique movie'. A box set of five seasons count as five 'unique movies'.

I haven't heard of anyone else reporting collection count issues due to items disappearing. I'll keep an eye out, but most often the reason has been that the 'unique movies' count changed.

UK based user and was wondering if there is a way to change the dates to UK format?

Which date formatting are you referring to? and in what view? Which os are you using? Android/iOS?

We might have missed some date formatting somewhere so it could help us track it down, but most of the dates are formatted according to the settings of your device.

[russgup]

Using Android 6 OS. In any view the date is month/day rather than day/month. Just added some titles and the added date is 6/19/2016, same for watched dates etc.

EDIT Just refreshed my app to add something I had added via PC the other day and it sorted all my date issues. Perhaps a server issue? Either way, all sorted now.

[russgup]

Back to US date format again, corrected after refresh done again.

Possible bug. This title isn't getting listed in my 3D category but it is categorized as 3D when I click into its details from my ALL list in app: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Dinos...Blu-ray/33470/

The reason it was not categorized as 3D is because in the database the "yes" box for "Blu-ray 3D" was not checked.

I did that now, and if you update your collection it should be categorized as 3D.

You are awesome!


Is checking this box something in the future I can do if I spot this type of thing or just bring it to a mods attention?

Yes, if a title is 3D then that box should be checked. You can submit a change to the database by yourself.

In the settings area within the app, the CACHE section has a Clear operation.

Trying to use this always brings up an error window. The listed size for the cache goes to zero (within the app), but returns to its previous size the next time the app starts.

(Seen with App version 1.3.6 Build 4113 on iOS 9.3.2 iPhone SE)

I'm aware that I could clear the cache by deleting the app. But since there's a button to just clear the cache, it'd be awfully nice if it worked!

The app is amazing. Wow. It helps me add the titles in pretty quickly. Three app suggestions though.

- an option for duplicate title
- Manual way to enter UPC
- add a custom field for "location"

Thanks again. Keep up the good work

[jkapera]

What happened to the app? I am now unable to select a custom category when adding a title. It just gives me the defaults for some reason.
