Hello,
While MC 23 development is on going, would it be possible to retrieve cover art and metadata in a language other than English when such data exist?
Thank you

[kolia]

Is there anybody willing to take care of this request, at least a no, yes, maybe. Thank you!

[ferday]

where would this data come from?

there isn't a tag in google image to only show images with spanish captions (for example), so i can't see this one being simple

where is MC receiving the metadata information? If it's only TMDB, there is for example german cover art and metadata information

You can switch the language on the globe icon, so it should be possible in the api too.

EDIT: https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/getting-started/languages

The next version of MC will support selecting a language for retrieving metadata, if the metadata provider offers a simple language choice.

Great news.  Thanks.

I am quite interested in this. After a search in the release threads I found this:

23.0.38 (8/18/2017)
1. Fixed: "Get Movie & TV Info" properly handles Unicode sequences in the TheTVDB result.
2. NEW: "Get Movie & TV Info" now offers a language choice for metadata lookup (currently available with TheTVDB and TheMovieDB).

Has anyone already gained experience with it?
Does it work as expected, also for covers/posters?
I am still on MC20 and need a reason to upgrade at some time ;-)

I would be happy to get some more information. Thanks.

[kolia]

Well it works as one would expect, see capture

OK, that looks promising 
Merci beaucoup!
