[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 978495, member: 18896"] This is unfortunate side effect of IMDb changing their website. IMDb does not provide me with any type of language information as to what the title is in. So I came up with a relative complex method to deduct as accurate as possible what the title language is by looking at the country+language the movie was produced in. A movie made in USA with English spoken language is bound to have an 'English' title. The problem is that now IMDb uses their new (censored) system in which users from around the world get different results. So now a 'title' can mean: [LIST=1] [*]English title [*]English title translated into one of the AKA titles [*]Original English title [*]New English title [*]Original non-English title [*]Original non-English title translated [*](whatever else they keep coming up with to irritate me :confused:) [/LIST] I do however have a few new ideas to detect what language the title is in, but still have to code up a solution for that. It is weird indeed to see "Foreign title (English title)" appear with two English titles, but that is the unfortunate side effect that right now there is no automatic solution for. A manual solution to at least make it work for you right now would be to add the movies that go wrong to your "Rename dBase IMDb+ Scraper (Custom).xml" file (instructions on syntax inside). Once added you can refresh the movie inside MovPic or use IMDb+ plugin method. Keep in mind that MovPic only loads the list of titles once during startup, so you have to restart MediaPortal to see the updated results inside the list (but when highlighted it does show new title) To locate the file (which you can just edit with notepad) = Start (button/screen) -> All Programs -> Team MediaPortal -> MediaPortal -> "User Files" -> "IMDb+" folder -> right click file and select 'edit' or "open with...' to use notepad. And if fortune is upon me I will find some free time one of these days to rewrite the entire title detection system :whistle: [/QUOTE]
