    Hi
    I have several movies in my collection there Posterwall names them with chinese characters instead of English. The MKV file have a English name, the movie is registered in IMDB with an English Name. You can force Posterwall to change the poster to one with an English name but the movie are still named in Chinese. This is ruining the alphabetical sorting of movies in the Posterwall.
    What can I do to change this?

    Are movies in question original Asian movies? If yes, you have to change settings in HT4 to "not" to show movies in their original name.

    Hi Muha
    Sorry for the late reply.
    Could you please guide me to there in the setup of HT4 to select "not" to show movies in their original name.
    I looked around for it but seems to miss there it is placed.

    Thanks in advance.

    He means for option: "Show movies in original names: NO"

    Maybe Zidoo removed the option.

    I Started to use TinyMediaManager to create all the nfo, picture and info files.
    From TinyMediaManager it's possible to change the movie names from Chinese to English characters.
    When Posterwall reads the nfo files from TinyMediaManager it shows the movies with the English names.
