[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 667486, member: 18896"] Using the akas. instead of www. does not work for every movie, foreign movies for example are then shown in their foreign title. That is why this was not used for the official scraper as a solution. What does work is using the direct IP of an American server, for example: 72.21.214.36 But for the official scraper it was decided this was dangerous as well, because if Amazon ever decides to change the IP or there is maintenance on that single server, then the scraper stops working fully. So what is being worked on right now is to use the information from the 'AKA' subpage and retrieve the English title, which is present in about 5 different formats. This requires a lot of extra code, so it will take a little bit of time. The impatient users can use your akas scraper, or edit it with the 72.21.214.36 IP for a better version, but anyday now the real fix will be made available. [/QUOTE]
