I have been using Plex for a few months now and can't imagine not using it with PleXBMC & XBMC to access and stream my movie collection.
One thing that I find very frustrating, however, is that there does not appear to be an option to have titles listed by their original title (which is usually the title the film went by in its main country of origin, like on IMDb). For someone whose collection consists mostly of non-English films, this is a massive inconvenience. For many obscure works I simply don't have a familiarity with a supposed-English title and it may not have been used for decades, apart from when a film got a limited run in the US or UK upon release. A localised (English) description of the film is fine, but I want the original (non-localised) titles of films to be display.
If I go to "Edit" the data for any particular film, it seems as if agents pick up multiple titles and movies have a field called "Original Title" that gets populated, but there is no option to force the original to be displayed on the Plex interface when accessed through the iOS app, Samsung TV app or PleXBMC etc.
As you already mentioned "Original Title" gets populated, that means it's not an agent issue. I just checked it and it seems that this information is also available in PHT but the skin needs to support it. This feature is quite useful, so I'm going to add it to my skin with the next version. Anyway, if you want I can guide you through the necessary changes to also get this information in the default plex skin ....

I'm about to setup a RasPlex, and I would appreciate information how to include original title info into whatever shin is used on this device. Thanks in advance!

Hello and thanks for the response.
If it is a skin issue, and I primarily access Plex through PleXBMC, would I need to contact the developers of that particularly software to add an option to list films by their "Original Title"?
