missing UPC lookup for movies?

[Derek Tombrello]

lol.. Yeah. Wouldn't you know that after I hit 'Send', I figured out how 
to add that source?

That worked fine with two small exceptions. I tried doing the "multiple 
UPC Search" thing and, after scanning two dozen or so codes and hitting 
'Search', It found the first one and reported back that all of the other 
UPC codes could not be found. I did them one at a time and those same 
codes were, in fact, valid and found. Most of the time. There seems to 
be some kind of a limit to how many you can do in a certain time frame, 
because every so often I would get "yadayadayada not found" and the link 
it is complaining about contains something about "trial period" or some 
similar text. I don't remember exactly what now, but I can try to 
trigger that again if you're curious. I know that's not a you problem or 
anything you can fix, just thought I'd share that with you.
