[QUOTE="Guzzi, post: 1091952, member: 55213"] ah, ok - yeah, the old game - settings/flexibility vs. complexity ... actually, what we tried is to offer users a simple setup with the wizard, that presets almost everything to defaults to get to a working config. However, if you want to tweak things, you'll have to go into the details - we also had discussions about reworking the setup completely and move all those options to menus or something like that - but it is a lot of work and in the end, you only use it once to setup what you need... so the wish is there, but the priority is ... low ;-) You probably already had set german in the initial setup - so this IS the preferred language. Beside that, it again depends on the script you use; assuming, you use the IMDB-OFDB script, it always tries to get german description, title and categories from OFDB - but falls back to IMDB, if OFDB data is not available. Unfortunately, the OFDB gateway is not very reliable and often does not return data (beside the fact, that not all IMDB movies are available at OFDB). From memory, I am not sure, if that script also tries to get description from TMDB (it does lookup TMDB too). So there is nothing else you can do with that script unfortunately, if it returns english data. What you CAN do is try to update the data with a different script - e.g. TMDB-de or directly with OFDB - then you get a german result or none. Can be done in GUI too via remote - see here - even only single fields and you have a limited preview on what you get from the chosen script there too. Actually, MyFilms provides APIs for both menu editors and property based menu options for skins - so it is up to the skinners what they use in their skin. If the skin does not include the APIs in their skin editor, but support setting start parameters, you could get those [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/Skinning_My_Films/Hyperlink_Parameters']here[/URL]. Same applies to some of the optional features, which are only available, if the skin supports them.
