Reviews on Pocketpedia

Post by Fish »

DVDpedia finds on most DVD a german Amazon review while on the same DVD Pocketpedia doesn't. Ist this a bug or does Pocketpedia not use the same source for viewing reviews as DVDpedia does?

They both use the same source. I tested it out with "Das Leben der Anderen" (B000GNOOQ2) and got the same 10 most helpful reviews. DVDpedia does go further in that it lets you browse all 182, reviews in this case. If you are having trouble downloading the reviews in Pocketpedia for a specific movie please let me know the title and EAN number so that I can try out the same movie.

Thanks for your fast response.
Here are a few samples where DVDpedia found reviews and Pocketpedia not (checked only the first few movies in my library and found these):

3 Engel für Charlie (B00005CDBA) 364 reviews in DVDPedia, no reviews in Pocketpedia
10 Dinge, die ich an Dir hasse (B00005AXLJ) 431 reviews in DVDPedia, no reviews in Pocketpedia
28 Tage (B000053GXV) 94 reviews in DVDPedia, no reviews in Pocketpedia
101 Dalmatiner (B00004SAIC) 44 reviews in DVDPedia, no reviews in Pocketpedia
2001: Odyssee im Weltraum (B00004RLZT) 913 reviews in DVDPedia, no reviews in Pocketpedia
A.I. - Künstliche Intelligenz (B000060K5W) 1241 reviews in DVDPedia, no reviews in Pocketpedia
Absolute Power (B00004RYZL) 55 reviews in DVDPedia, no reviews in Pocketpedia
Akira (B00005CDBA) 655 reviews in DVDPedia, no reviews in Pocketpedia
Asterix - Bei den Briten (B00004RY9T) 7 reviews in DVDPedia, no reviews in Pocketpedia
Asterix - Sieg über Cäsar (B00004RY9U) 4 reviews in DVDPedia, no reviews in Pocketpedia

Strange is also that sometimes I get english reviews and sometimes I get german ones (in DVDPedia). Can I change a setting anywhere in DVDPedia to tell the application only taking reviews from amazon.de and not from other sources?

I also found out when I check amazon.de directly as sample for:
"Der Sternenwanderer" (B0012IP7F2) 154 Reviews on amazon.de link --> http://www.amazon.de/Sternwanderer-Clai ... 26&sr=11-1 (No review on DVDPedia found)
"2 Fast 2 Furious" (B0000A1WR6) 62 Reviews on amazon.de link --> http://www.amazon.de/2-Fast-Furious-Pau ... 17&sr=11-1 (No review on DVDPedia found)
"10.000 BC" (B0019BSC68) 62 Reviews on amazon.de link --> http://www.amazon.de/10-000-BC-Blu-ray- ... 70&sr=11-1 (No review on DVDPedia found)
"44 Minutes" (B0006JMJYA) 1 Review on amazon.de link --> http://www.amazon.de/44-Minutes-Michael ... 57&sr=11-1 (No review on DVDPedia found)

There are for most DVD I checked directly on amazon.de reviews but DVDPedia says there are no reviews.

Tried the reviews directly on DVDpedia and got the same number of reviews as those on the website. The same results with the iPhone. If you could please send us dcards for these entries from DVDpedia. To do so drag the movies from the table view to your finder. This will create dcard files that you can them email to us. With the file we can look at exactly what information we have for the movie that you might not. Also out of curuosity try the beta of DVDpedia so that you are working with the latest development version.

Also please send us a few dcards for the movies that you are getting reviews in English for. DVDpedia retrieves the reviews from the original site that the movie came from. If you added the movie from UK, then the reviews would be from the UK.

Could you please give me the rights to upload files in forum to send you a PM with attachment or an email address where I can send the dcard files. I also downloaded the beta from the link above, problem still occurs.
