Format (BluRay/DVD) won't Update

    I'm trying to change a disc from BluRay to DVD. I'm using the exact same call as I do with (a successful) reorder (position). The error I get back is :
    <status_code>412</status_code>
    <message>Title is already in queue</message>

    The url:
    http://api.netflix.com/users/USERID/queues/disc?title_ref=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.netflix.com%2Fcatalog%2Ftitles%2Fmovies%2F70044689&format=DVD&etag=250342737825&method=POST&handleAs=xml

    I'm using a personal account, and we have access to both formats.

    hmm.. yeah what you are describing looks like a bug. I'll take a look at it and get back to you..

    BTW handleAs is not a valid attribute, output is the correct attribute.

    Hi Mike,
    Ok I have identified an issue with this. We can have a fix for this out soon. Sorry for the inconvenience on this, but thanks for giving me such good details.

    I assumed that it was a Blu Ray, as I got that from this xml node (hope this shows):
    <category scheme="http://api.netflix.com/categories/title_formats" label="Blu-ray" term="Blu-ray"/>

    I fixed the 'handleAs', thanks.

    Thanks for the quick response Mikey, let me know.

    I've been having this same exact problem. I can't seem to change the format of an existing movie in either direction dvd->blu-ray blu-ray->dvd.
