I think it would be nice to be able to import ultraviolet owned movies. There is a VUDU csv exporter at: VUDU Collection List export

Quite new to this so the ability to add an 'ultraviolet' tag to new items - absolutely. Only really interested in Android tho ...
I also have a few 'digital copies' (from other producers not signed up to Ultraviolet) so maybe it should be a 'digital copy' rather than Ultraviolet?
The ability to list a BD/DVD/Ultraviolet combobox (I have a few of these) would also be nice.

There are currently two (or three) prevailing digital formats to consider. This is for US based services, not sure what other countries have, although I think it is the same worldwide, as it is based on movie studio participation.
The digital movie service map is a spiderweb that seems to be ever changing.
"Ultraviolet" covers most of the major movie studios and digital streaming services (Flixster, Vudu, Sony, Paramount, Universal, etc.).
Disney has rolled out their own format "Disney Movies Anywhere", for Disney produced and distributed movies.
And of course there is iTunes which covers most of the same studios as Ultraviolet, and many lesser studios as well.
For some Disney produced movies they are found on both iTunes and Disney, but for other movies produced by other studios but distributed by Disney, they are only found on iTunes or Ultraviolet.
I would tend to agree with mickc1407, that the designation could be "Digital Copy" which would then leave sub-categories such as "Ultraviolet" or "iTunes" or "Flixster" or "Disney" to the individual users in the personal data section. Keep it simple and allow for corporate changes and alliances. Disney at one time had another service not to long ago, "Disney Digtal Copy" and then changed it to the current service noted above. Who is to say that "Ultraviolet" won't be called something different in the future or even align/merge with iTunes, or Disney or vice-versa.

Since service like Amazon Video, Google Play, iTunes, Netflix and VUDU have been added to the Movie\Media Types. Two others that should be added are Disney Movie Anywhere and Microsoft Movies & TV. A large portion of my library are covered by these two service.

It's be really nice if movies for all the Digital services could link to their items in the correct app on the device — or at least just switch to the app, perhaps:
iTunes > Opne in the Video app
UV > Open in the Vudu or Fandango Now app
etc.
I'd also like to see "Plex" added as a digital option for this of us that have digital copies of our own discs in Plex, and link to it's counterpart there. I've been contemplating just using the generic "Digital Copy", but it'd be nice to be specific. Perhaps a user addable label of some sort?
Ideally it'd be really nice if MyMovies could just import and sync all your movies for the various Digital services, but that would require interoperability on their part, but one can dream. ;-)

One thought on the poll option of "VUDU/Flixster/iTunes options added with blu/dvd/hd"
It'd be a nice option to be able to have one listing for a title, and just multi-select the formats formats one has it in.
i.e. I might have a DVD, a Blu-ray and a Digital Copy (iTunes or UV), that came with the Blu-ray of a single movie title, but I don't necessarily always need to see 3 copies of the title in my collection.
I'm not saying this should be the rule, but it'd be nice as a display option, perhaps to just view one's collection by film/tv titles, and not objects/products, but still have the ability to see what formats I have it in.
One would think they'd all have the same IMDB Id#, so collapsing by that would make sense.
So, perhaps you enter the items individually, but there's a display option to just display unique IMDB Id#s in the collection listing with multiples as a "stack" of some sort.
