Hello!

I've been working relentlessly on the hardware/devices/remote/parts side of the site for the past few weeks to the point where the first version will soon be ready.

All I need will be fresh photos of players, demodulators, add-ons, etc.

Could you start taking pics when you have time as follows?

• Front
• Back
• Top
• Under
• Left side
• Right side
• Remote (if any)
• Cables (if any)
• Manual (if any)
• Box/packing material

I hope we can eventually equal or even improve on https://www.laserdiscarchive.co.uk/ in the years to come.

Eagerly waiting!

Will get you some pics of my D704.

I have a full set of hi-res shots of my former CLD-R7G, all angles (except underside) including remote and original box if required?

That would be perfect.

The photos list is just a guideline, I don't need a perfect set of each.
The pictures will just be added all together, first one being the main photo.

Any set of pics is welcomed, especially close-up on all the connectors

For the lucky ones who managed to keep the shipping box/packing material, there is sometimes a barcode/UPC on it for this model, it's not easy to find anymore!

Julien

Are those the same ones featured in the Razzle Readers Wives LD Players 'adult art magazine' published by Paul Raymond?

EDIT: Hmm...on second thoughts they can't be. You didn't send in the underside.

Shhh! (thought the latter might have been pushing it a bit too far)

Here’s the R7G images Julien…..

working on the Pioneer SP-99D though I'll have to cover up someone's old address that was before when I got it.

For these 2, the entries are:

Pioneer CLD-R7G

=> Could you try to update the UPC/barcode and weight (from the manual) to see if the update posts correctly?

Pioneer SP-99D

=> Could you try to update the color as a test?

Thanks!

Julien

what do you do about the sides like the LD-S1 and SP-99D? there isn't an option

I can't really over-describe everything to death.

I guess the photos + a note like "Sides are wooden panels." should be enough.

While I was considering some improvements, I realized that the main/index page was taking a LONG time to load.

On the server from 1 to 3 seconds:



On my laptop up to 6 seconds!

And all it does really is picking randomly 6 LDs with covers available in the shops. That's really bad performance.

Turns out ORDER BY RAND() is a terrible idea for large sets of data => SQL statement improved.

Now:

Good news!

Basic updates are working fine:

https://www.lddb.com/hardware/update/0001/ <= was just updating power to 5W

https://www.lddb.com/hardware/update/0002/ <= color and market updated

https://www.lddb.com/hardware/update/0003/ <= barcode updated

https://www.lddb.com/hardware/update/0006/ <= weight and dimensions updated


Now... I need to finishing coding the "modules" and their subsections.

Julien

I might redo the other pics I have but is the remote fine?

That’s ok xtempo, but try it again in daylight with the camera flash light switched off and perhaps a lighter plain background with nothing else in view and I’m sure you’ll see a big improvement

Was about to reply the same, thanks laserfanhld-gb!

xtempo, yes please try again during daytime with natural light.

Julien

I tried again. closer to a window

Well to my eyes at least, that looks pretty good

This sounds good. Would photographs taken by others (from other websites) be permitted?

Reason I ask is, I have just hooked my player back into my AV rack and don't relish the thought of unplugging everything.

Cheers
