Search for movies with multiple titles - schum182 - 2014-10-12

I want to know if it is possible to have one video movie file known under more than one title in the library.

I'm gonna explain using the movie "A fistful of dynamite" as an example.
Say I add this movie to my database, it is scraped automatically as "Duck, You Sucker", an alternative title of the movie.
Suppose I would change this to "A fistful of dynamite", as this is the title I know the movie as.
Weeks later a friend shows up and wants to watch the movie "duck, you sucker", but I have forgotten that movie is actually in my list as "A fistful of dynamite". Using the search function I would not find "duck, you sucker".

So is there a way to add all alternative titles automatically by scraping or maybe by adding different NFO files or something?

I don't believe this is currently possible.

That's too bad... maybe it should make a post in the feature suggestion part of the forum.

Or is it possible for someone to move this post to that part?
