Hi Ken,

iPod Touch 4G
DvdProfilerApp 2.01
IOS 5.1.1

The adding of DVD's by barcode does not work anymore. When I used it, the screen does not give the red bar anymore. I tried to use it anyway, but no barcode is recognized, I tried closer & further away, horizontal/vertical, nothing happened.

Some more info: the standalone pic2shop app still works ok, shows the red line and recognizes any barcode under a second.

There is no red line on this integrated scanner.  Our testing with iPod Touch 4G with the new integrated scanner went well.  Does the screen focus properly on the barcode?

eca, all you need to do is hold the camera over the barcode and after a while it should automatically recognize where the barcode is located and scan it. I tried it with barcodes of various sizes and they all scanned perfectly. I am using iOS 6, however.

The screen does not focus, however as far as I know a, ipod touch does not have a focus mechanism. I do not see any difference in sharpness however between the picshop app and dvdprofiler, the former scans any barcode while keeping the barcode centerend at about 50% screenwidth under the red line. I tried any zoom, any amount of light, horizontally and vertically but the dvd profiler app does not do anything with them. Do you want a screenshot of a barcode like I see them?

Hi, I'm having the same problem that eca is having. Since updating to DVD Profile for IOS 2.0.1, I'm only able to scan about 1 in 10 barcodes, when previously I had about a 99% success rate.

pic2shop still works fine for me too.

iPad 2 with IOS 6.0.1

We've implemented a preference for scanning in the next update, to use the built-in scanner or pic2shop, which works better for devices without a focusing camera.

Heard great things about this, so purchased it for my iPad. I haven't been able to get the bar code scanner to work one time....I refuse to spend more money to buy pic2shop when I paid for an app that already has one.  Suggestions?

Here is a barcode scanner source I used before. There are rich barcode scanners and barcode scanning guide there. Hope this would be helpful.

Oh great, now the spammers aren't just in the new users forum. 

And what happened to the red arrows? They were the only way to even report spam.

Find and integrate a ipad compatible barcode reader, I have installed a barcode reading software on my ipad2, and it works well but not the same issue like yours.
