Getting AKA titles from the IMDb-scraper - Nickman99 - 2009-10-17

Hi, I have a suggestion for the IMDb-scraper. It’s about getting AKA titles. I would like to be able to select AKA country and have my titles in this format:

Code:
Original Title (AKA Title)

Example 1 (Movie: Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo, AKA Country: USA):

Code:
Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo (The Good, the Bad and the Ugly)

Example 2 (Movie: Arachnophobia, AKA Country: Sweden):

Code:
Arachnophobia (Imse vimse spindel)

What do you think?

Or the other way around:

Code:
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo)

I've done some thinking. It would be better if the scraper always got [Original Title], [USA/UK Title], [AKA Title (Optional Country)] and saved them seperatly.

Now you get much more option when displaying the title. I know this involves skin development too.

The skin could display AKA titles on the movie info page. It could sort movies by AKA Title.

Or maybe you could have some kind of advanced title formating like in Winamp: http://www.myplugins.info/winamp-wiki/doku.php/advanced_title_formatting
Example:

Code:
%usa_title% "%aka_title%"

Code:
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly "Den gode, den onde, den fule"

Anyway, I want more flexibility when it comes to displaying movie titles. I don't know the best way to do it or implement it. Any other suggestions?
