Hi all! I really enjoy participating in metadata collection and submission however there seems to be some real issues with this function that is causing me to abandon it for now until hopefully someday in the future things get resolved. In the meantime I will post some suggestions that seems to be spread out here in the forum and some others that I have run into.
Firstly, The stability of the metadata entry form in very unstable. I am lucky if I can get through a disc without the program crashing. I'm not sure if it just me or if other users are having similar issues, but I have run into this on both of my computers which are very high end machines. The program crashes both when trying to preview streams or when trying to enter info.
Secondly, the preview stream feature is completely broken in the latest version and other users are having same issues. If I preview a stream, all I get is a black window with the timer and position meter moving. No video. The workaround is to use the old version.
Thirdly, like other users have pointed out. If when selecting data and the drop down menu appear up instead of down, the mouse cannot select items without the menu disappearing. A workaround is to use the keyboard to select the item.
Fourth and this is a nit picky thing, is that when select an item in a category such as bonus features, it gets moved to the top of the list of unknown or other categories. On some discs that have a lot of streams, this takes forever. Would love to have the items not be categorized like this and have them stay stationary.
Lastly, a lot of users are uploading garbage (it seems they are only in it for the cash
). It would be great to have a way to submit corrections rather than just being able to give a thumbs down or up and feedback because I don't think the people who originally uploaded the metadata are going to go back and make corrections.
Anyways, those are all the main reasons I am leaving being a submitter of metadata right now. I was having fun with it but once I got halfway through mapping out the Alien Anthology Disc 5 Bonus Disc and the program crapped out on me, that was the last straw. I hope this feedback helps whoever checks here and that other folk if they have come up with issues send feedback too. I am a huge Blu-Ray collector and would love to continue participating but cannot until stability and bugs are worked out. Excellent software otherwise! Thanks for all of the effort and time.
