The Movie Database Support

Hi, I've searched across this forum to see if this has been discussed before, but it seems not.

Let me introduce this:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/254128?language=en&api_key=###

This is the movie "San Andreas" requested in English language. It has a runtime of 114 mins.

But if I get the same movie in some language (such as Romanian or Norwegian) I get a runtime of 0 mins:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/254128?language=ro&api_key=###
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/254128?language=no&api_key=###

Things get even worse on few other languages, like Nepali, which returns a null value:

https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/254128?language=ne&api_key=###

This behavior resulted in my app to have bad overall statistics (total amount of 50 movies runtimes: 317 min, obviously is not true)

Is this normal or is this a bug? If it's normal, maybe you should consider to make the movies having 0 or null inherit the original amount of runtime for that movie, because obviously a movie can never have 0 minutes of runtime and it's more than likely it would be the same as in the original

Best regards

The movie would need to have an "Original Runtime", just as it has an "Original Title".
And, who knows, an "Original Overview", and a "Original Poster".
So if in your language there is no such information, you get the original.
The film would have an ISO "Original Language-Country".

Hi @Piplos,

There is no runtime fallback right now although I do have an open ticket for it here so it's on my radar. I do not have an ETA on completing the ticket at this time.

Thanks @travisbell!

Runtime's fallback to English now, so you should see a lot more runtime data now wink

Hi, is there an Overview fallback to English right now? I couldn't fallback to English with Overview.

Hi @wonderfullife,

We do not support overview fallbacks on the API at this time. I have a ticket that you can vote on for this here.
