How to get metadata in a foreign language

[zombieagain 7]

Hi,

 

I'm impressed by the metadata handling in MB3, but I'm still using metabrowser for my collection of Italian movies and I want to see if I can use MB3 for the metadata of these collection to.

 

As an example I have this movie http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/139504-il-comandante-e-la-cicogna?language=it and in the server metadata I set Italian as preferred language both in the parent item and in the movie page itself, but if I refresh the data, the overview is fetched in English.

 

Another examples is this movie http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/59579-into-paradiso?language=it where the overview is only available in Italian, and if I refresh the metadata, the overview field remains empty.

 

Any suggestion on how to get MB3 to fetch data from themoviedb in Italia, or is it even possible?

 

Thanks!

That should be all you have to do, so you'll probably have to give us more information and tell us exactly what you did.

Luke, I looked at this a little more. My settings for metadata are:

Download metadata from the internet

Save metadata within folder

Language: English

Country: United States

Disable automatic updates from themoviedb (I guess I can enable this once we figure this out)

 

I then I have a collection for which I set language as Italian and Country as Italy. The interesting part is that I noticed that these last settings don't stick. After I save them, if I refresh the page, the Language and Country fields go back to be empty. Could this be part of the issue?

 

Thanks,

that sounds like it could be a problem yes.

Can I edit these settings manually instead of using the web interface? Or maybe I can remove the collection and add it again...

Hey Luke, sorry to bother you again. I confirmed that setting the metadata language preference in a specific movie works as expected, while the same setting doesn't work for the parent folder where all these Italian movies are stored. Is there a way to make this work or should I go ahead and set the preference one by one for each one of these movies (more than 100)?

 

Thanks,

Giovanni

for now do it individually. it was never intended to be inherited unless the items have an actual relationship, such as episodes of a tv series. it will have to wait until we have bulk editing.

Thanks Luke!
