Thanks for the quick replies. I’m particularly keen on SW music. I’d like to contribute info and reviews if that is possible.

Uomo · March 27, 2015, 8:24pm

Thanks! I have indeed (Wikipedia and Discogs, eg).

Maybe I’m going blind but I’m having trouble seeing how to upload images to the DB since we changed over. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I think you click on “menu”, then “settings (the little cogs symbol)”, then click on “upload file”. There’s instructions from there.

I’m not at my main pc, I’m on my tablet which I can barely operate but, if you’re still stuck later by the time I’m at my pc, I’ll go through it and take a snapshot of each step. If I could remember without looking I’d tell you but, alas, my brain is like a sieve.

Cheers both. I have it now

I’m not sure if it belongs here, but anyway: Sometimes when I click on a link for Amazon.com, it takes me to Amazon.fr instead. For example, the following two links from the Run Man Run DVD page:

And I also have a question related to Run Man Run: The database says that the Western Triple Feature is region 0, but when I look it up on Amazon.com, there’s an image of the back cover that clearly says region 1. I’m interested in this DVD, but I’m not sure if it’s region 0 or region 1.

There is some geo-location thing eith amazon.com hat tries to send you to where u are if the same product exists. We will probably deactivate that again.

Platypus · September 2, 2019, 3:12pm

Alright, thanks for clarifying. And do you know if that Western Triple Feature is region 0 like the database says, or is it region 1 like the image says?

I believe the seperate releases from BU were region free so it would be weird if these were not. Maybe someone can confirm.

Admin · September 2, 2019, 6:26pm

I would never trust Amazon on this, but also never blindly trust the SWDb. The BU releases are most certainly region free, especially if the single releases were…

Platypus · September 3, 2019, 12:01am

I had a look on BU’s website, and even there it says the triple feature is region 1. I just tried to contact them via Twitter to be sure, so hopefully they’ll answer soon.

It says region 0 also on the ofdb.de:

But elther way dvd region locking shouldn’t be a major deal in 2019. 20 years ago sure but most dvd players can be made region free with a few magic presses on the remote. Look up your player and see if you can’t find a recope for that particular one.

Platypus · September 3, 2019, 4:54pm

I just got an answer from BU:

Still. DVD region locking is not a problem in 2019. You are bound to end up with a very limited movie collection if that is going to stop you
