Displaying Title and 'Also Known As' Titles from IMDB

Post by markw »

I have a collection of European (mainly Italian) giallo/Poliziotteschi on video and DVD-R which I would like to catalogue. These films are often known by 2 or sometimes 3 or more different titles (usually the original title in Italian and then the English title(s)). Is there a way to be able to access this information from IMDB (Title field and 'Also Known As' field(s)) and display them all within DVDpedia?

Cheers,

Mark

P.S. Nice program by the way.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the feedback. It's on the feature request list, but because there so many options it's a hard feature to implement. Between detecting the users country as well as IMDb not always being consistent in their labeling figuring out the original title and the regular title has proven tricky. Glad you are enjoying the program.

Thanks for your reply. If this isn't possible at this moment in time then is there a way to keep the title you searched with in the record entry somewhere, or is it a case of using cut and paste to do this.

It's a case of copy and paste. The original title field is not enabled by default, but you can turn it on in the preferences under the fields tab.
