In this case, there is no AKA mentioned on the (redesigned) main page. My guess is that, finding nothing there, the plugin assumes there are no AKA's and therefore doesn't check the /releaseinfo#akas page. If this is so, considering the inconsistencies we've seen in both release dates and AKA's, it might be better to ignore the main page for this data and get it directly from this page.

I see only three. Of the four listed, one is the Original title. It appears that's included in the list if the display title (http://www.imdb.com/help/show_leaf?titlelanguagedisplay) has been localized.

Agree.

Right, I see the same on IMDb's page; I overlooked that importing the Original title into the AKAs would be redundant.

Yes, I'll do this in future. I am currently too busy with the Grid view ;)

:o  Is this your sneaky way of announcing that our #1 all-time feature request is finally "planned" for version 1?  ;D

In fact, it is my sneaky way of announcing it is 60% ready :)

Now let's see how long it takes for someone to ask, "What's Grid view?"...  ;)

They'll see it for themselves soon enough. I am planning to release a "Technology Preview" version right after finishing the Grid View.  8)
