Movie alternative names

[Ninko 78]

Hi,

Is there a way to tell Emby to use the movie name used in your own country, in my case, the UK?

Hi, you configured your metadata language and country for each of your libraries?

[Ninko 78]

Yeah, that's the first thing I checked, but it still only uses the default movie name and not the alternative name used in the UK.

You can edit the displayed name in the metadata.

[Ninko 78]

Oh I know that but I thought that was the whole point of selecting your language so it grabs the information related to your country?

[pwhodges 2014]

Well, that also relies on the on-line info having the information you need.  That can be further complicated if the same movie has been issued under different names in the same country...

I checked the film in question and the correct alternative name for the UK is there, hence why I'm asking why Emby doesn't use it?

When you set your language and country in the movie db website, what title does it show for that movie?

[Ninko 78]

As far as I could tell it still showed the wrong title, so I'm confused, how and when do the alternative names get used?

Is having an alternate title be searchable possible? For example if I have The Wrong Man in my collection, which is its Australian title, is there a way to make it show up under a search for 'Lucky Number Slevin'?

[Luke 42085]

Yes it is searchable, but the regular name is the one that is always displayed.

[Ninko 78]

So the alternative names are never used as the main title in Emby?

Not at this time, but options are possible for the future. Thanks.
