Q. When using IBO with imdb auto backdrops how can I change the Language to my own?
A. Yes it depends what version you are using as there are two main
First being the jbet method:-
For this open movies.php and somewhere within the first 20 lines will be $language = "en-US" this is defining the string for the language throughout the file so no need to change it anywhere else you of course change the
en-US to your own language.
Second using the backdrop.php which you have set the apk to point to so it over rides the default jbet method.
to change this look in the first few lines of the backdrop.php file and it will say <html lang="en"> change it to your own language.

Q. Is it possible to move the IBO icon from top left to top right side of screen?

A. Yes it is but will depend on the version of IBO you have , let me explain the file you need to edit will be RES/LAYOUT-XHDPI (normally) . This can change from APK to APK but as a rule its normally in there.

Hopefully who ever modified the app. kept the logo script out side of the constraintlayouts if so then its easy enough , if it is inside of the constraint you will have to move it outside which is a little advanced but doable.

open the file and scroll down you should see android:id="@id/logo_image" somewhere in the code , hopefully like i said outside of the constraints if so it will be near the top of the file and looks like this :-
