I might otherwise make the XML file in question available as a seperate download and you can overwrite the file manually yourself.Those movies most likely got imported with TheMovieDb scraper, but we are working on allowing you to 'Force IMDb+' on any existing entry that was added by a scraper that also added a valid IMDb tt-ID to your database. Because it is guaranteed that the default IMDb scraper does this, we simply scan the database for the scraper script ID and swap it with the IMDb+ one, but now we have to modify that to look for valid tt1234567 entries.That might still leave a few movies assigned to an alternative scraper, such as TheMovieDb, because they have some movies in their system that do not exist at the IMDb website. For example I have a few of the Ghost Rider bike movies in my collection and they do not exist at IMDb, but they do have an entry at TheMovieDb, such as:<a href="http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/21327" target="_blank">Ghost Rider #1 - The Final Ride</a>(PS: If you ever thought you have driven fast from point A to B, I highly suggest watching that movie, or the original Paris race that started the phenomena. Both are available on YouTube to some extend).The MPEI system has to load the new update.xml file first to be aware of latest version. Normally it is configured to download all these files when you start it, but perhaps you have this disabled. Then you have to manually do so, via "Options" -> "Download online update info", and you will then see there is an update available for the IMDb+ plugin. The latest version adds more cool options to the plugin, so that one would be 'best', but both obtain the most recent IMDb+ scraper script so in that regard they are the same. The ability to refresh your entire collection (or just the rename database ones) is worth upgrading though, and you will be able to see detailed info on IMDb+ itself.You can modify the scraper script to accept other languages and countries as if they where 'English'. So you have to add Portugese as a language and Portugal and Brazil as countries. I thought I had given you the options file that would have done so already, but maybe I overlooked something. I'm working on adding MovieMeter.nl support to the scraper-script, and that is actually a language I know, so I'll be able to test myself to see if it works and update the Wiki with information on what foreign users should do to make it work.However I'm also working on proper foreign title support, so I might just go straight for that option.The MovieMeter PHP proxy script already works, so just have to add all the regexp code to the scraper-script now to "read" the data properly and put it through the wringers to make sure it works.I see indeed that on DefaultWide with keyboard navigation, you are stuck on the page-tab control. One of those things I tested up/down with keyboard, but closed windows via mouse when tested. So will fix that <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
