YAMJ on Popcorn Hour A-110

Recently IMDB has implemented some changes resulting in localized search hits. Fx "A Streetcar Named Desire" will turn up as "Omstigning til Paradis" probably because IMDB detects that the search is coming from Denmark. This can be avoided in the browser by logging in to an account a changing the preferences. To be able to avoid those localized search hits in YAMJ would be nice. I don't know if it is possible to enter login info in the properties or use browser credentials.

Maybe you could add a property for IMDB settings :

imdb_title=[default, Original, USA, GER,...]

Where :
default = is what ever IMDB desides to give you today. The way it currently is.
Original = Original title in film's original language. "(closing credits title)"
*** = Coutry code or country name.

The localized title data can be found in IMDB at

http://www.imdb.com/title//releaseinfo#akas

ie.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1259571/releaseinfo#akas

I did some more testing and you can find the Original title on the ".../releaseinfo" page at the very top of the page right below the really stupid and annoying localized title.
