Alternate Language Movie names in Table View.

[Dubwize]

Bug report

Describe the bug
Movie names are not pulling English titles when they are Japanese.

To Reproduce
After the movies are imported;
Go to Movies -> Tables

Expected behavior
Name should be populated the same as they are in Emby, even if there are various names available.

Screenshots
Here are two movies listed in the tables display of EmbyStat.

Here is the same movies from Emby

Battle Royal's info on TheMovieDB

System (please complete the following information):

• OS: Debian
• Browser: Brave
• Version beta.25
• Media server type: Emby

Additional context
I would think that the metadata scrape should either populate whats already available from Emby, or if it's doing a new scrape from TVDB or TheMovieDB, then it should include your language selection when determining how/what to display as the title.

Couple more as reference:

As a side note. Nice work on beta.25. Very nice indeed.

Hi @Dubwize, thanks for the bug log. I was on holiday so I just now saw your issue.

It is strange indeed that the Japanese titles are shown because I'm mapping the Emby data directly into EmbyStat. I did see that I'm using the OriginalTitle property, maybe Name or even SortName would be better indeed.

[Dubwize]

No worries man. Gotta get out and unplug sometimes.

I included that "Original Name" image because I assumed that was the value you were pulling. Also, and i'm not Emby variable guru, but i thought SortName was a user populated field, used to force Emby to override the title with what you have entered.

Thanks, and again, keep up the great work, this new version is amazing.

Thought I would drop this here. Looks like I was right about SortName. It's user defined. I would suggest using SortName first, and if that field = null, then use Title.

Technically that field is blank in the UI but not the database. At least in Emby

Yeah, I'm also always receiving a sort name when I fetch the data from Emby. Displaying the SortName is a bad idea because this can happen

So will try to display the Name but sorting the name column needs to be done on SortName. Sounds like a plan?

Sounds good to me.
.... and now that I know emby is storing everything in a sqlite db, I'll be able to dig up more info for you, in advance, next time.

@Dubwize, can you check the new nightly build (0.2.1-dev.1365) to see if your problem is fixed? Nightlies are only available in Docker containers. Let me know if you need a Windows artifact.

[Dubwize]

I use a linux 'package' I can spin up a docker though and give it a test in a bit.

[Dubwize]

Small spelling mistake in that nightly. might be in the main build also. "Synchronization"

Unfortunately I can not get the docker nightly to do a media sync. The issue is, it doesn't do name resolution correctly, so can't get out to TheTVdb. To note, I run my dockers on a macvlan network.

docker create
--name=Embystat
--net="docker_vlan20"
--ip="10.10.20.145"
--dns="10.10.20.1"
-p 6555:6555
-v /volume1/docker/embystat:/app/config
uping/embystat:nightly

... all other dockers have access outside the network without issues

Using apt update as an example. You can see it fails DNS lookups from within the EmbyStat Docker

This is probably an issue with embystat:latest also, but i haven't tried to deploy it.

[mregni]

@Dubwize, I'm not really familiar with how the DNS resolving should work inside docker and how I need to change my code to use the docker DNS settings. You don't need to try the 'embystat:latest' since it's not updated anyway.

Can you give me a docker image example that does work on your system? I could have a look at their docker image file to see if I'm missing something.

edit: fixing the type as well, thanks!
