Freebase agent always picks English movie title

Hey there,

 

I just added a part of my movie library to Plex and all in all it went really well! Plex managed to get the metadata for almost every movie right.

 

But I have an issue regarding the movie title: The Freebase agent always picks the English movie title instead of the German one. The description text and movie-subtitle is in German though.

In the server setting the option "Localized Titles" for the Freebase agent is checked. (I assume this option should provide me with German movie titles?)

 

Any idea how I can fix that for my imported movies? Or how I can avoid this issue when importing further movies?

After fiddling around with the order of the metadata agents for some time I found the solution.

I was surprised to see Plex picking the correct movie titles in German after I put "Local Media Assets" at the bottom of the list. I always had it at the top at first, as this is what all the guides say to get Subtitles etc working correctly. My agents order and their settings are now as follows:

The Movie Database
    O Use collection info from The Movie Database
    X prefer artwork based on section Language
    O Include adult content
    > Germany

Freebase
    X Localized Titles
    X Find trailes and extras
    X use red band
    O include extras with subtitles in Library Language

Local Media Assets

(X means this checkbox is ticked)

I don't really see the reason why "Local Media Assets" has an influence on the movie title though.. (My movie folders don't contain any files where it could try to pull the movie name from)

Dude! thanks so much for figuring this out, it's been driving me crazy for the past 5 hours!

Indeed, why is it doing this? There's nothing related to the english movie title locally, so I'm stumped that happens.
