[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 991191, member: 18896"] You stumbled upon the Amazon/IMDb website nightmare that has not been fun. In their sheer genius they decided that since you live in Sweden and they can detect that via your IP/language-settings, that when a Swedish title is available on the AKA page, as per: [B][url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317248/releaseinfo[/url][/B] that they should give you that tile instead. What that in turn does is totally kill the "English" / "Original Title" detection system that I had designed, because at that point the English title becomes Swedish title and the original title is 'lost'. If I visit [B][url]http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0317248/[/url] [/B]then I get "City of God (2002)" and below that "Cidade de Deus (original title)", but if you visit the same page from your Swedish location, it shows something totally different (well it should, because that is why you get such weird results in MovPic). I've been working on a full rewrite of IMDb+ to come up with a better system, as I've gathered many log files from European users and I think I've stumbled on a way that would allow me to make all of that functional again and even add additional options. A full rewrite is just very time consuming, and it is also hard for me to test it. So far I've been lucky and have been able to test my theories with online proxy sites such as [B][URL='http://www.4proxy.de/']www.4proxy.de[/URL][/B], but finding free time to actually work on it has been a problem lately. In short, right now your only option is to force English titles, because at least after many fixes I got that part to work again for foreign users. Then you could open MovPic config and manually edit the titles for those few movies you wish to have that 'real' original title on (copy and paste it from the AKA entries from the field below it). Or you can use the custom rename database system for this. If you are technical then you could use a USA based proxy that you can configure your HTPC to use, so that IMDb website thinks you are based in US and will give you the 'correct' titles. Keep an eye on the IMDb+ forum though, because it is high on my ToDo list to get that done, but I might be forced to come out with another version first that incorporates some other features first (as they are easier to add). PS: The reason why the movie series show English title, is because they all get their title renamed based on the default rename database that contains all the series information. So as stated above, you could use that to 'correct' these movies that you prefer to get another title on, and configure IMDb+ to use English titles on everthing by default. You would then create an entry such as: <rename title="tt0317248" title="Cidade de Deus" /> Or: <rename title="tt0317248" title="Cidade de Deus (City of God)" /> Once you save the XML file with notepad the changes are instant and you can refresh the movie in question inside Moving-Pictures GUI, use IMDb+ plugin hidden refresh system, or MovPic config, and the title will get updated instant. Keep in mind that any 'list' entry does not get update until you restart MovPic. [/QUOTE]
