Hello,

I just want to know, if there it is possible to use a barcode scanner to add new DVDs/BDs into the collection. It would be funny to use a hardware scanner instead of typing ne barcode numbers manually   

Can somebody help or has an idea if that somehow works?

Greetings and happy new year,
Daniel

As far as I know, you can use any Barcode Scanner within here. I have a Voyager USB scanner, and it works with any program I throw at it. Used to have a passthrough PS2 scanner, and it worked OK. It should just be a matter of drivers for it. My USB works natively under XP, Vista and 7.

Be aware that AFAIK if you get one of the 'Collectorz' Cat scanners, you have to 'de-claw' it to get it to work.

any scanner that acts as keyboard input (most) will work.

If you can scan a barcode into notepad and the text appears it will work. Some scanners may require a wedge software that will come with the scanner and/or be downloadable from the manufacturers website.

We don't have a FAQ, otherwise we could point to the FAQ.


btw. The cuecat works great, and if you are a bit brave it's very easy to declaw one yourself.

LOL.. I see that the first post was made in December
Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer.

I have a Cuecat straight from Radio Shack years ago and I did not have to declaw it and it works great.
