Well, I am really in a hard situation.

Miss Congeniality (1 and 2) DVDs were released with the same Disc ID at least 3 times:
- Original release - 1 movie only. No problem, use UPC and original cover
- 2 movies boxset - UPC was created for the boxset, the 2 movies were added by Disc ID, Cover of boxset
- 4 movies boxset - UPC created for the boxset, movies already exist by Disc ID, not sure what to do with cover images, as the images are already assigned, but this is not a re-release of the 2 movies boxset...

I guess I am going to quit submitting this one.

Okay, this happens all the time.  All you need to do is create a new parent and then create any child profiles that don't already exist.  If they already exist then you're finished.  It really couldn't be easier than that.  If anybody wants matching cover scans, they are welcome to do that locally.

I did, the issue is with the cover scans. I cannot submit the ones from the latest boxset as they would remove the ones attached to the previous boxset. And I cannot use the ones from the previous boxset because they do not match.

I think you're getting confused on the concept of "locally".  You change it in your personal database and then lock the profile.  You leave the online alone.

No, I am not getting confused, and I maintain my local database differently from the DVDP databse for some items.

In this case, there are 2 UPCs, with 2 different images, which contain the same Disc ID. Let me explain:
- UPC 1: Miss Congeniality / Miss Congeniality Armed and Fabulous
- UPC 2: Miss Congeniality / Miss Congeniality Armed and Fabulous / 2 Weeks Notice / Divine Secret of Ya-Ya Sisterhood

In UPC 1, the 2 movies are entered with 2 Disc ID, and both images are from the front cover of the boxset. Normal, as done per the rules.

In UPC 2, the two Miss Congeniality have the same Disc ID than in UPC 1. Meaning that I cannot change the picture of the child to the boxset of 4 movies, as I would delete the previous one. But keeping the one from the 2 movies boxset is not correct either, as it does not reflect the 4 movies boxset correctly. And the other 2 movies (which do not have a Disc ID in the DB yet) would have the image from the 4 movies boxset. Not very logical.

I have been thinking about for a while and I do not see how to submit the Miss Congeniality children correctly for the 4 movies boxset (I am talking about submission, not my own local DB), and follow the rules. Image is the issue, not the data.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Thanks

Ok, we are in agreement.

Thanks
