Alert for DVDPedia users: PocketPedia2 is now out. (Free download). Has two way synch.

 

[TonyD]

So glad I had the first Pocketpedia, it still has the amazon blocked info on ther e that the new pedia can't access.

 

[Citizen87645]

Is it still returning search results?

 

[TonyD]

No, but nearly all of the 1300 dvds I had before the amazon thing happened still have the dvd info there, on the
pedia 2 it is blank except for a note saying amazon won't allow the info to show.

 

[TonyD]

old



new

My Pedia2 seems to have the release specs. Plot synopsis appears to be hit and miss, but I'm not seeing any note about Amazon's disallowing information.

 

[TonyD]

Ok, right.
I see the release date too, but when i press the 3 horizontal lines it brings up the amazon note.

Also I see you can change star rating in pedia 2, can't in pedia 1.

 

[Citizen87645]

Do you have Quantum of Solace? I have a plot summary for that one. If there's no summary it just says "No summary."

 

[TonyD]

Nope Never picked that one up.

 

[Ted Todorov]

You can keep PocketPedia side by side PocketPedia2. The only catch is that synching PocketPedia requires *Pedia 4.5.3 or earlier for synch to work. I synched it before upgrading and and saved the 4.5.3 Pedias in a safe place. Of course if the DB format becomes incompatible in the future with the older *Pedia you will no longer be able to synch newer entries. Hopefully by then Amazon will have recovered its sanity, or we will have the info from other sources.

The main question remains if IMDB info gets treated as Amazon info? If so, we are screwed... Big chance for Barnes & Nobles

Speaking of the IMDB - there is now (finally) an official IMDB app.

Universal Infrared Remote (for HT components, etc.): RedEye
It is now out of beta. The app is free, the hardware costs $188. It is a learning remote, but they reportedly have predefined codes for 500+ manufacturers.

I'm waiting for a review from a trusted source on this one, but unless it proves a dud I'll definitely pick it up. However if some eager HTfer wishes to step in to the breach, a review would be most welcome.

Not only that but it makes the feature I use most in IMDB (cast look-ups) even easier to navigate than the web site itself.

Coolest new App I have seen in a long while:
