What to do when Filebot takes AKA title instead of original?

I have a file, called "Tampopo [1985]"
This is the imdb page http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092048/ where you can read "(original title) Tampopo" in the AKA section-

Either imdb or themoviedb return "Dandelion"
I also tried the hack in this thread http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=842
{n}{' ("'+net.sourceforge.filebot.WebServices.IMDb.scrape(imdbid, '''//SPAN[@class='title-extra']''').match('"(.+)"')+'")'}
Which works fine for every movie except Tampopo, where no original title is returned.


What do I wrong?

Thank you for your help, I am a complete newbie to filebot :)

Tampopo is Japanese and means Dandelion, so the English Title is Dandelion:

In this case this binding should work:

Code: Select all

{primaryTitle}

This works, thx :)
And it works for all other movies too so far...why is primary title not standard? Except Tampopo every other movie (even if french or spanish) get's the correct english title and original titlee when I use primary title instead of n

{primaryTitle} is the main English titles from TheMovieDB and requires an additional lookup if you're not already using TheTVDB.
