Description

IMDb have changed their structure again. Until now, the title contained the original movie title. Now they changed it to show the English title and below is the Original title. Here is an example of the source code for movie ID 0247586:

<div id="tn15title">

<h1>Nine Queens <span>(<a href="/year/2000/">2000</a>) <span class="pro-link"><a href=" http://pro.imdb.com/rg/maindetails-title/tconst-pro-header-link/title/tt0247586/">More at <strong>IMDbPro</strong></a> »</span><span class="title-extra">Nueve reinas <i>(original title)</i></span></span></h1>

</div>

It's possible to add an title_original() method to get the title inside <span class="title-extra"></span>??

It will be really helpful. Thanks!

This issue has already been reported before, and then was revoked. In that specific case it turned out that it only affects us.imdb.com - could you please verify if only a specific site is affected, or all of them? Please, check at least whether akas.imdb.com AND one local site (e.g. uk.imdb.com or www.imdb.de) are affected - and let me know.

Oh! I didn't know that it only affects us.imdb.com. I checked akas.imdb.com and its showing the original title (as wanted). I don't know why IMDb is redirecting me to the US version, it never happened before, but is not important… So IMDbPHP takes data from akas.imdb.com as deafult?

  • status changed from new to closed
  • resolution set to invalid

So it is the very same case - time to start some FAQ heree :) The site to use depends on your configuration - you may want to check the Wiki for details (General Options).
