Then we might have a fun project to help out your community.
At CLZ, we are constantly working to improve the quality and completeness of our Core online movie database, based on feedback from our users. The main things we are getting complaints about are:
Not getting the correct cover image when adding by barcode (wrong edition, wrong regional version, low-res image, slanted image, etc…)
Not getting the correct Edition info (e.g. “Collector’s Edition”, “Steelbook Edition”, etc…)
Fixing all this is a huge project, as we have a lot of movie barcodes in our database. Because of this huge amount, we want to work on this project as efficiently as possible, so we are designing and building custom in-house CMS tools to do this.
COVER CORRECTION TOOL
We are currently working on a tool for checking and replacing the movie cover images we listed for the specific movie editions. This is all done by barcode.
With so many movies still to go, we are looking for people who would like to contribute to this cover check tool.
If you are interested in helping on this project, let us know below!
What specifically are you looking for help with?
More people could become interested in this if you put a list of what specifically you were looking for help with.
Hey Terry, thanks for your interest in the helper program. As mentioned above the tool we are currently working with, helps checking/correcting cover images in the CLZ movies database. You might scan in a barcode now and then, which shows the wrong image. With this tool, we are solving that issue. The tool gives you a barcode, different images, and information to check if it is the right one.
You don’t need much knowledge on the subject yet, as we have a complete manual that explains what you need to know to check and correct these images. Let me know if you are interested, and I can send you the manual.
I own personaly about 3000 original blu-ray and DVD for which I could certify the cover images. They are all scanned with front and back cover in good quality (used DVD Profiler). I recently migrated from DVD Profiler and in order to ‚protect‘ my images they are now all marked as ‚local‘. In DVD Profiler I used to contribute the covers I had personnaly scanned. This mecanisme could also be made possible to the CLZ community.
I’m afraid there is not an easy way to get these 3000 images in the CLZ Core database, but if you come across any errors, feel free to let us know and provide the correct image. This can be done by submitting the error through the app, or the Core Errors page on this forum: Core | Errors - Club CLZ
As mentioned at the top of this chat, we are still looking for people who would like to work on our cover correction program. This program will show you a title and barcode, then lets you correct that specific entry.
If this is something you would be interested in, let me know!
