Ok, now that this scraping nfo business is out of the way, I managed to have tmm retrieving info for most of my movies.. works perfectly, thanks... except that it seems that the imdb scraper does not correctly retrieve the original title.
I set the UI language to French, and the scraper preferred language to English, but for instance for Fassbinder's masterpiece "Angst essen seele auf" (original german title) -
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071141/ - the imdb scraper retrieves "Ali - fear its the soul" as both title and original title, whereas the imdb page clearly indicates the original title.
This is also the case for French movies... any way to solve that problem?
And - if the original title can be retrieved - I would love that one to be used by default by the scraper, but there doesn't seem to be an option for that. I would like "Angst essen seele auf" to be listed under that title, Godard's "A bout de souffle" under that title (and not "Breathless"), and even chinese or japanese movies to be listed under their (romanicized or not) original title. Is that possible?
Thank you
UPDATE: if I perform exactly the same steps using the "themoviedb.org" scraper, then it correctly retrieves "angst essen seele auf" as original title. Maybe I could select all movies, click on "search & scrape selected movies", unclick all items that have already been scraped using the imdb scraper (title, rating, cast, runtime, ...), leaving only "original title" and that would fetch all original titles from themoviedb.org . Do you think that would do the trick? I tried using one movie, and it worked, but I don't know if it found it on themoviedb.org by title or using the imdb - id (the latter being the only reliable way). Can you enlighten me?
