Runtime always 0 #1119

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Force moving pictures to always use runtime from data source provider
2. Add a new movie with danish (any non-english language?) MediaPortal GUI

What is the expected output? 
Runtime bigger than 0 ;o)

What do you see instead?
Runtime always 0

What version of Moving Pictures are you using? 
1.5.1
IMDB+ scraper: 4.7.4
IMDB scraper: 2.3.2

What version of MediaPortal?
1.3.0 RC

What Skin?
StreamedMP. 

Not related to skin or MP though because the configurator shows a runtime of 0 
also.

I analyzed the problem to the following:
1. IMDB and IMDB+ scrapers always have a runtime of 0. These scrapers seem to 
have the highest priority when using auto managed data sources.
2. Manually managing the data sources I can prioritize the TMDB provider. This 
seems to return a runtime if the MediaPortal GUI is english, problem is I have 
it set to danish so I get a runtime of 0.

I debugged a bit and here is a dump of the requests and responses from TMDB 
with different GUI languages in the attached file.

MediaInfo runtime is not an option for me because I have placeholder movies for 
my DVD collection that would cause the runtime to be a few seconds.

Did you check if the TMDb API returns 0 runtime for Danish? If it does then 
check online if it has a value for the Danish translations.

Note: it does not fill in english values when danish is not available, you need 
to enter this unfortunately.

Yes, you can see in the dump file that the runtime returned from TMDB is 0 for 
the danish language. Browsing the same movie online also shows the runtime as 0 
when selecting the danish language. 
For a solution I was thinking if it was possible to set the language for the 
TMDB metadata fetching separately of the MediaPortal GUI language. I wouldn't 
mind if I only get the english metadata.
But actually the main problems seems to be that the IMDB scrapers return a 
runtime of 0. Is this problem reproducible?

I think the fallback to IMDb will fix your problem for now, there is not much I 
can do about TMDb not returning the correct value except for you to add it 
there as its an open database.
