IMDb+ Plugin 2.1.0.291 with IMDb+ Scraper v4.9.xxx (2 Viewers)

So no Roman numerals as stated in the Rename xml. Any thoughts?

Just looked at your options and you have the rename turned off.
Replace with my settings and check if it works.

I don't know how to test the localization also. RoChess (lives in the US) advised me to use a VPN also and set it to the USA. I did this, but the results were the same. It's not so easy to fool the original IMDB.com. But if you log in with your IMDB-account, you can set the movie titles to original. That forces English titles, even in the Netherlands.
But this setting does not work for a scraper. I have asked a question about this to IMDB, but still waiting for an answer.

Done this. It worked like a charm! But I have more instances of Mediaportal in my home. I checked the Options on another one. By default, it has "special_edition", "rename_titles", "refresh_all_fields" and "secondary_summary" set to "true". I have never done anything to the options. This is how it comes when installing. Did you perhaps set all options to "false" with your adjusted version?

I have asked a question about this to IMDB,

Did a search and found IMDB does not support the use of scrapers.

Did you perhaps set all options to "false" with your adjusted version?

No, if I were changing the default values I'd make them what I provided before.

To KJ-Cox: is your solution to IMDB+ still working? Because I tried it on a new instance of MP. The difference to my working settings is: Windows 11 instead of Windows 7 and MP 1.35 vs MP 1.33.
I tried scraping a disk of movies and most (not all) are picked up by themoviedb.org as shown in the log.

Yes, it's still working for me and I am using Windows 11.
I am using IMDB+ as the first scraper and themoviedb.org is the backup.
If you have a new intance does that mean you need to change the settings again?
One thing that does mess up the scrape is when the filename has extra numbers in it like 2000 and it thinks it's the date.

Ok, thanks. When I'm talking about a new instance, it is on a completely new computer with a new install of MP, so yes, all settings need to be set anew.
I did some more research and found out that the movies that were correctly scraped by IMDB+ were exactly ALL the ones that had the tt-number from IMDB in their file name, the others depend on name and release year.
So, this can't be a coincidence. Maybe another change by IMDB?

Some more info: when I import the same disk into my old working setup with all of your additions it works completely through IMDB+. The differences to the setups are:
1. Working: Windows 7, MP 1.33, Moving Pictures 1.8.4.1, IMDB+ your version
2. NOT working: Windows 11, MP 1.35, Moving Pictures 1.9.7.214, IMDB+ your version
Maybe the Moving Pictures version?

It's working! It was my bad. I wasn't aware there were TWO versions of your scraper: no. 339278 and no. 340273. I kept on working with the first and after a really thorough read of all your postings I finally understood you attached TWO DIFFERENT versions. After using the right one, it worked again like always.
