Hi,
I have TMM configured for everything in spanish. When scrapping a movie with IMDB, I have reallized that TMM shows as release date the date it was released in your country, which can generate a lot of problems because Kodi catalogues a movie from their release date, not from the data that is stored in year on the NFO.
Let's look for example this movie:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048696/ -- Tarantula (1955)
As you can see, if you go to release dates on imdb in this link you can see it shows that release date for Spain is 31-august-2019. I have no idea if that is correct or not, but I have checked that Kodi shows that movie, considering my local nfo, in year 2019, which really sucks as you can imagine. This movie is on 2019 when it should be in 1955.
I think TMM should consider original release date instead of country release date, to avoid that problem. I hadn't reallized about this problem until now, but exporting my library into Excel, and doing some formulas, I have around 1.000 movies out of 19.000 witha difference in year above 3 years, and 343 movies in which the difference is higher than 10 year.
I really would appreciate if you can correct what data is scrapping TMM from the different sources when you have another country as your preference. In this case, it makes sense to have original release date.
Thanks.
