Change language on movie titles

[alireza12186]

I really like php4dvd. but I have a problem with it. my server that I installed php4dvd on it is located in Germany. so when I search for a movie or update a movie it replaces English title with German title. but I don't know German and I'd like to have titles in English.

How can I fix it ?

Hi @alireza12186, at the moment I don't have a configuration option for this. I'm waiting on the latest update of imdbphp; that I made a pull request for. After that php4dvd will have a "complete" fix for changing language, for then your server aren't "talking" English. At the moment you can change this .ini file directly: php4dvd/lib/imdbphp/conf/php4dvd.ini

Remove the semicolon and change it into this: language = 'en-US,en'

It only works for movies/tv-series that have English titles, those who have only Japanese and English title in "Worldwide" will not work with this. But a fix for that are on it's way.

Thanks @jreklund It didn't work for some titles. but generally it was useful. I changed the line and tried to update a movie. I selected "some like it hot" . It's an American movie so it's name is English. but after updating it, again it's name showed in German. after that I entered many titles and all of them was English . thanks

No problem @alireza12186, thanks for the feedback. If you previously added that movie (1 week) you will need to empty your /cache folder, or wait one week. And update it again. If that's not working, you will need to wait for the next release. I will add a way to select a remote IP-adress (English IP/American IP) so that IMDb think you are connecting from that country.

There are now a complete fix available. You can read more about it in the readme; Configure languages

thanks @jreklund I prefer to wait for new version. I think It will be good if search results show the original language of movie. I added 275 titles today and non-english titles show in German because my server is located in Germany.

thanks

You should try the new $settings["imdbphp"]["ip_address"] option. You can now "be" in UK/US if you specify a UK/US based ip-address. That will at least give you the English title.

There are also $settings["imdbphp"]["langauge"] available, that's same as php4dvd.ini as mentioned earlier.

Can you give me a couple of IMDb ID's I can experiment on, that's non-english, that you have added. Don't have any in my own collection.

~~You wan't the search results in the original language? You wan't the movie "Title" (after you select a movie) to be in the original language? Even if you specify another language inside $settings["imdbphp"]["langauge"]? (English)~~ Just tested it out; returning the original title and it's not going to work. It needs to download every search result and look it up. The only way to do it are to keep the search as is and add the original title instead of title ($settings["imdbphp"]["langauge"]), for then you actually add it.

I tried all of settings you mentioned before. (imdbphp, php4dvd.ini, ip). these are some examples. please check them agian.

The Water Diviner --- Das Versprechen eines Lebens The Piano --- Das Piano The Patience Stone --- Stein der Geduld Winter Sleep --- Winterschlaf

I just want search and add a title in English. even if my server is in different place.

thanks

I'm sorry but those works just fine (from Sweden) using the following, in version 3.7.0.

$settings["imdbphp"]["langauge"] = 'en-US,en';
$settings["imdbphp"]["ip_address"] = '127.0.0.1'; // Insert a UK/US IP-address

I can also return them in Swedish, German, etc. There aren't anything I can do if this ain't working for you.

Remember to also empty your /cache folder before trying new settings, your search results are kept for 1 week at the time.
