[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1103530, member: 18896"] Switch "Use the original title from the movie" to [B]OFF[/B] which should import it as "As Good As It Gets". Those settings work as expected when IMDb gives you the content how it would for a USA IP user. So if you want the easy way out, have MediaPortal rely on a proxy to communicate with the internet, and find one that is USA based. A Finnish movie would then show as: [INDENT]Purge (2012) "Puhdistus" (original title)[/INDENT] And that is when the "Use the original title from the movie" setting works as expected. For you IMDb.com screws things up for me, because it would not even show English title, it would just show: [INDENT]Puhdistus (2012)[/INDENT] And for English movies with a localized/translated title it would show: [INDENT]Elämä on ihanaa (1997) As Good as It Gets (original title)[/INDENT] But there is no easy way for me to know when/if IMDb is doing that, which has lead to this difficult situation. Now the good news is I know how to fool IMDb.com into doing it without a proxy, but it will require a full rewrite of scraper-script and adding new option to IMDb+ plugin.
