Loads titles from IMDb in local language #16

livin52 commented 10 years ago

I have the movie "The Book Thief (2013)" [tt0816442] in my library. When it scrapes the information for that movie, it retrieves "Ladrona de libros", its Spanish title. I want the movie's original name, and there's no place to configure this. I'm from Argentina (maybe this has something to do).

In the preferences xml file change IMBDUseOriginalTitle to true. That should grab original titles whatever language they are in. That might screw up other movies with original titles not in English though. I'm not sure how to set the country in the url so i don't think i can make an option to choose the language for all titles

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0816442/releaseinfo#akas

actually with that page it would be possible to let the user choose the title language.

Please let me know how the IMDBUseOriginalTitle option works for you though.

I changed the IMDBUseOriginalTitle option to "true" but it gets overwritten when I start the program. Therefore, I cannot really test the option.

I just tested it with "Way of the Dragon" and it worked for me. Make sure you quit the program before you change the preferences file. Then delete everything in the cache directory and the database.xml file, then restart the program and reload the movies/tv. Or just hit the "edit" button on the movies you want to reload and clear out the id and click ok.

I hadn't deleted the Database.xml before, now it worked. Thank you!
