It seems to be impossible to make automated film update from UPC/EAN code. I'm just benchmarking two products "Movie Collector 7.1 Pro" and " Extrem Movie Manager".
While barcode scanning and database submitions works like a charm in "movie collector" all results returned by Extrem Movie Manager where empty with the same barcodes.
Such a shame when extrem Movie Manager appears to have more featrues.
I seem to recall a thread where Alessio said that to use a Barcode scanner you need to set it to Text Mode and place focus on the UPC field so that the scanned code goes into it. I also recall that only the Amazon script uses Barcodes as a search feature. I know that this is not the ideal solution because I too have considered using a Barcode scanner to help speed things up. However, based on the above statements, it seems that it would take modification to both XMM and the importing scripts, which sounds like a significant effort. The question then becomes, how many people would be able to use that feature versus all of the other feature on the table for development/repair?
UPC / EAN CODE import doesn't work
