[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 872889, member: 18896"] Hi Luca, This scraper started out as pure English. Then I added a rename system which would during import lookup the movie and see if it should be renamed to 'group' it. Then later I added support for alternative languages such as German. The problem you are dealing with is that the rename system is not functional in German language yet (or any of the other non-English for that matter). But there are two solutions to this problem. Solution #1 = Disable the title rename system, which will stop using the default English rename database to rename titles during import. Solution #2 = Add your custom preference to the custom rename database to overrule the default one with whatever you want/prefer. You do this by going to: [B]Start Menu -> All Programs -> Team MediaPortal -> MediaPortal -> "User Files" -> "IMDb+" subfolder[/B]. Here you will find "[B]Rename dBase IMDb+ Scraper.xml[/B]" and "[B]Rename dBase IMDb+ Scraper (Custom).xml[/B]". The first one (default) is updated auto by the IMDb+ plugin whenever I commit a change to it. The 2nd (custom) one is all yours to modify however. Right now they have a slightly different syntax way, because I improved upon the default rename system and did not wanted to make everybodies custom file stop working. The format/syntax is really easy and when you open the file in notepad, you will see: [INDENT=1][LEFT]<rename id="tt0000000" title="Change the IMDb tt-ID and this example title to get started" />[/LEFT][/INDENT] [LEFT] [/LEFT] [LEFT]So all you have to do is add this to it:[/LEFT] [LEFT] [/LEFT] [INDENT=1][LEFT]<rename id="tt1132620" title="Män som hatar kvinnor" /> <rename id="tt1216487" title="Flickan som lekte med elden" /> <rename id="tt1343097" title="Luftslottet som sprängdes" />[/LEFT][/INDENT] [LEFT] [/LEFT] [LEFT]Or if you prefer to retain grouping, you can try:[/LEFT] [LEFT] [/LEFT] [INDENT=1][LEFT]<rename id="tt1132620" title="Millennium Series I: Män som hatar kvinnor" /> <rename id="tt1216487" title="Millennium Series II: Flickan som lekte med elden" /> <rename id="tt1343097" title="Millennium Series III: Luftslottet som sprängdes" />[/LEFT][/INDENT] [LEFT] [/LEFT] [LEFT]Whatever the title="..." part contains is what Moving-Pictures will show (when you refresh/update the movie first inside MovPic or via IMDb+ plugin hidden menu options). So there is one other option you can do:[/LEFT] [LEFT] [/LEFT] [INDENT=1][LEFT]<rename id="tt1132620" title="Män som hatar kvinnor" sortby="Män 01" /> <rename id="tt1216487" title="Flickan som lekte med elden" sortby="Män 02" /> <rename id="tt1343097" title="Luftslottet som sprängdes" sortby="Män 03" />[/LEFT][/INDENT] [LEFT] [/LEFT] [LEFT]And this will sort the movies at a different position then their title, but keep in mind that this can look confusing with a movie starting with letter 'F' sorted under the movies with an 'M', which is why for the default rename system I had to add all those prefixes that gave some sort of logical reason for the sorting.[/LEFT] [LEFT] [/LEFT] [LEFT]The majority of movies series names are derived from the title of the very first movie, but that would have resulted in: "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo II: The Girl who Played with Fire".
