DRM Field Support Added to VNDB Beta - eviltoast

Yorhel added preliminary DRM support to the VNDB beta site on September 12th, 2023.

The goal of this beta - aside from some testing - is to pre-seed the list of DRM types. So go ahead and add and edit DRM types and figure out how to best name and document them. While I can easily transfer the list of DRM types to the main site when it goes live, I’ll probably not transfer the DRM info added to releases, so don’t go overboard with that yet.

List of all known DRM types: https://beta.vndb.org/r/drm

If you’ve encountered a type of DRM that isn’t listed here, please add it! However, don’t bother with documenting which releases are encumbered with DRM just yet, as this data won’t make it over to the real site.

This feature has been in Beta for three weeks and it seems pretty close to releasing. Outstanding issues:

  • It’s possible to search releases by DRM type, but not yet by DRM property
  • Guidelines & documentation (some progress has been made, but it’s not done yet).
