Pressing Ok, i get the correct results in Swedish, my local language, and most others in english.
Pressing verify then corrects it to the english language


Using IMDB+ 4.4.3, latest MP and latest Moving Pictures.

The scraper-script is set with default values on all the configuration options.

IMDb+ plugin allows you to change those, which are stored in "Options IMDb+ Scraper.xml" inside your MediaPortal data folder under the "IMDb+" subfolder. That log entry is to ensure that your custom settings are being used and helps in debugging.

The fact that you are getting Swedish results inside the search-node is because IMDb detects you are located in Sweden and will use the Swedish title if it has one defined. This can lead to weird results and was one of the many improvements I've made to IMDb+ to still detect the right movie.

IMDb made big changes to everything, so it doesn't supprise me if the system I wrote for old system is also broken for that localized crap that IMDb does. Will have to look at that this weekend, as it is not an easy fix as the ones I've done so far.

When logged in to IMDB you can change what language the titles are fetched with. Would it be an idea to send a cookie for logging in with the scraping and use the users option for language?



http://akas.imdb.com/ uses the english language, would it be possible to use that instead?

It is on my ToDo list to look at that system again for the full rewrite, as there are some serious downsides to going that route. Main reason being is that for IMDb+ to work every user would have to sign up for an IMDb account and then input their username+password into IMDb+. This complicates usage and I want to avoid that at all cost. If you know a generic cookie string that IMDb site accepts for anonymous users to still configure those settings, then I'm all ears.
