sorry I tried to find it

why cant some titles with alternate cover art be contributed for instance the Best Buy exclusive Transformers Dark of the Moon, the one with bumble bee on one side and the other is another character or the Captain America Walmart exclusive or the Transformers Age of Extinction Walmart Exclusive?

Only one set of cover images can be attached to a profile (its a program limitation), so as long as these exclusive discs use the same UPC as the standard release the profile must contain what (most likely) will be in most of the user's collection... which is arguably the standard release.

You could try and contribute them with disc ID which some have done, although that might be a nightmare down the road with boxsets and collections that will probably need those ID's.
I just lock anything like that in locally. Most exclusives thankfully have their own UPC's these days, but there's always the rouge exclusive slipcovers without one.

The ID is the unique primary-key for every profile in the main-database as well as for any profile in you DVD Profiler.

And every profile can just handle one pair of covers. A solution for that was asked time and again, but no answer yet.
