Missing Movies when using other languages

[Druidblack]

I started looking through the list of films "Movies everyone should watch at least once during their lifetime" and noticed that the films that are on the letterbox website are not in the list in the collection. Although I have a movie. For example https://letterboxd.com/film/come-and-see/

Try adding imdb_id_filter: true under the letterboxd plugin config section. It'll be a lot slower but should be more accurate.

I added imdb_id_filter: true

This added an additional 3 films

Here is part of the log https://logs.notifiarr.com/?a10cb781adacfb32#J9jXDHh3YDUtQm7TYXfRf2gEphg1F4kvGFRCP1owdB2f

I don't understand the logic of how the plugin doesn't recognize movies.

I thought he was looking for a Come and See movie in English. And I have it in the fields name and original name written in the original language (Russian). But also the plugin does not find the movie Back to the Future, which I have and is named exactly as it is written in the log. Also with the Gremlins movie.

Hmm it's quite hard to debug without knowing your exact library. I assume you're using a metadata provider in jellyfin and the imdb_ids are included in all your movies?

Beyond that, it's hard to know what to suggest - non-english languages could be part of the problem. If you're comfortable with python, try adding breakpoints in utils/jellyfin.py to work out where the query is failing.

It's time to test your ideas. I checked on plugins for IMDB. The results are as follows.

1. Plugins add movies to the collection not based on IMDB ID (tt000000), but based on the title. And it may differ by spaces, colons in the IMDB and TMDB databases. Therefore, not all films are added to the collection. I tried adding movies to the collection in the library language (in my case, in Russian). It got better. 128 films were added in English, 138 in Russian. (this is for the top 250).
   Is it possible to add a setting in which language to search in the plugin settings? Otherwise, I had to edit plugins in the docker container via the console.

As an idea. Make an addition to the collection in two languages. Original and local. This way there is a better chance that more movies or TV series will end up in collections.

I launched two containers, one with edits to search for movies in IMDB in Russian, the second container searches in English. Disabled list cleanup. As a result, the list collection (250 IMDB films) grew from 128 to 150 by searching in two languages.

Thanks for testing this out. I'll add a flag to allow setting the language for imdb search (potentially for multiple langauges). Have you managed to work out what's happening with the rest (if they're in your library)?

[Druidblack]

I haven't looked yet at how many of those movies that are on the imdb list and I have don't get in. But it all comes down to names.
How is the search going now? Is the case taken into account when searching?

P.S. Make sure that the search is performed in two languages: English and the one that can be installed. This way there will be a better chance that the search will be more complete.
