Title: "Original title" always empty
Post by: Knudow on March 07, 2013, 08:38:30 pm: Hi.

I discovered this program today and I'm loving it, but I can't get the plugins to fill the "original title"

Neither IMDB nor TheMovieDB plugins fill it. I tried all the possible combinations of "overwrite" thing, but it doesn't work. (Checking title and original title, "filling" title and original title, checking only original title, filling only original title...)

If I use Filmaffinity [ES] it gets the original title, but it's a little bit tiring to use IMDB for all the movies and then re-scan them with Filmaffinity (with the consequent stops in almost any movie so you can check the correct one) only to fill the Original Title.

I'm using the last version of the program and the latest update for the plugins (0.9.8.13 IMDB and 0.1.0.1 TheMovieDB

Edit - AnimeNFO plugin also works, so it's only the IMDB and TheMovieDB plugins that don't fill the Original Title section. (I don't have any other plugin installed)

Yes, Original Title transfers, but only when it is on the Imdb page written original title.

A good example is A View To A Kill (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090264/):
Slovenian title is: Od tarce do smrti
A View to a Kill (original title)

I attach a picture as evidence as mentioned above and PVD.

Since Imdb script does not seem to retrieve the original title anymore (because the imdb page does not display it), would you know how I could "tell" PVD to fill the "original title" field with the filename?

Thanks

Partly have to answer for yourself, but not completely true. IMDB plugin transferred Original Title only, when at Imdb page shows Original Title. If Imdb page no shows Original Title, it can no pass. This is also described here. (http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,3310.msg16572.html#msg16572)

Can I automatically use the filename (for ex "Terminator.avi") to fill the "Original Title" field (Terminator) ?

I think so—by using <origtitle> instead of <title> in the relevant regex. I believe the same value will be used for [Title] if it's not otherwise provided. But this will only work for files being added to the database via the scanner. We really need the plugin(s) to be working properly in retrieving and updating [Original Title].
