Good morning to everybody,
I'd like to report an issue that is happening with the IMDB scraper. When I set "Italy" in the scraper's preferences, in some cases it retrieves the international titles and not the Italian ones, even if in the IMDB page the Italian title is present. A couple of examples: "Le salaire de la peur" (1953) - it even has two Italian titles "Vite vendute" and "Il salario della paura", but none of them is retrieved; "Das weiße Band" (2009), whose Italian title is "Il nastro bianco", but the scraper keeps downloading the German one.
If I set, for instance, Brazil as country preferences, the scraper correctly retrieves Portuguese titles.

I have version 2.2.2 but it only has 205 lines...
EDIT: I was looking in the wrong directory. Thanks indeed, this works!

It worked but some Italian movies are then retrieved with their international title: for instance "La prima cosa bella" is retrieved as "The first beautiful thing"... ?!?

Well, that's because there is no Italian title listed on imdb...
The lines you deleted were forcing the imdb display title if the movie was filmed in Italy.

I think I'll revert to the official scraper. Now every Italian movie is retrieved with its international title...
What I do not understand, about the official scraper, is that some foreign movies are correctly retrieved by their Italian names, and some others with a title in another language, even if both have, on IMDB, the Italian alias...

It still does not work for Italian movies like "La prima cosa bella" (retrieved as "The first beautiful thing")

You're right, it works. I cut and pasted over another line.. man, am I dumb.
Thanks for your help, olympia!

I cheered too soon.
Some Italian titles like "la prima cosa bella" and "La vita è bella" are correctly retrieved in Italian, some others like "Vallanzasca - Gli angeli del male" or "Il mulino delle donne di pietra" are retrieved with their English names.
I don't know what to think anymore...

If there is no title found from Italy, then the scraper will return the USA/International title.
...and this is the case here. I have to think how to work around that.
