    I'm located in Germany and want to fetch movies metadata in English.
    Running Windows 7 Ultimate in English.
    So I tell the imported I want English but all I get back is in German.
    I think IMDB is acting up.
    Has anyone been there? Is there a workaround?

    If your mediaportal language is set to 'english' you can switch to use themoviedb as your primary data source. There might be an option in IMDb+ scraper but @RoChess will need to help with that.

    Just for clarification, are you using the built in IMDb scraper that comes with MovingPictures or the one that comes with the IMDb+ scraper plugin? If you are unsure then you are using the built in one.

    To make things simple I would just suggest using the themoviedb scraper, I assume you know how to make that your primary source.

    Ok somehow I got it working by just using local sources XBMC (nfo) first and others. Metadata were fetched using Media Center Master.
    For some reason it still get the alternate title in German but MP only shows the English.

    Just saw your last post, I guess I'll try that at some point or keep on using MCM.
