That happens, because you don't have "Title". The field from the file says "Original title", and the program detects it so. You should select "Title" instead.
Also there's a problem with actors, you shouldn't import them. Where did you export this file from?

I exported this from Ant movie catalog, which uses 'Original Title' instead of 'Title'.

When i change original title to title in the csv, and skip actors it does work. So now i have to find a way to import actors aswell.

How exactly did you export the collection? The cast listing is a bit strange. Actors can be imported from Ant Movie Catalog, I checked it myself. Also see:

You can change that in the dropdown list, when importing. No need to edit the CSV. :)

yeah, but i import my actors always like this in AMC: Actor (name in movie) eg. Burt Lancaster (as Paul Labiche), but movienizer doesnt reckognize it that way, but that is changable in excel.

I choose option 3 for importing actorslayout:
3 -> Actors names with character names between parenthesis seperated by linebreaks.


What i do miss is the number when importing, that way i can see which movies it skipped. I imported a list of 2700 movies from an AMC catalog, only 600 movies were imported, and no way on checking which ones it didnt import expect going through that whole list.

Could you please send us your text file? We would like to see why movies weren't imported.
