Confirmed, I did something wrong.
I ran previous tests over my video collection backup drive, and there I deleted from the movie.nfo the lines that force the title for foreign, non-english movies. But I backed up my collection during the weekend and this movie.nfo files were overwritten with the originals, that have the title forcing lines, and for the Mesrines movies I have " - " instead of ":"
So, forget my last report.
It should have been:
100% of accuracy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This counting "The Pirate Radio" as the right title for the "The Boat that Rocked". In relation to this and:
I would say that if someone is looking for the "USA / International" title and is scrapping her collection with the "IMDB" scrapper, it is very likely that her reference is http://www.imdb.com and she will be expecting to get the title displayed there (the old if there have not been changes, the new if there have been changes)
If, after having scrapped her collection, the movie "changes" its title she won't notice that. So no problem. If she re-builds her library, she may notice the change but probably she will verify against IMDB and then she will realize that the scrapper did its job well and it will be up to her to re-acommodate whatever she wants to re-acommodote, i.e. renaming its foldername or forcing the old title via the movie.nfo.
I am in this last situation, so it is up to me what I want to do but I cannot blame the scraper for doing the its job well.
Ready to upload this new version to XBMC repositories?
One more time: my admiration for all your diligent work and your great support.
ps I hope that my movie collection is a good sample of others people's collections and that it does not generate side effects on them

Quote:Well, yes. That's what I was referring when I was saying that I am almost sure that sometimes we need the "New title" and sometimes the old to get the wanted title. Honestly I don't know which would be better in overall, but probably we should remove this 'new title' catching, no?
