Should you add an extension to the folder or / and file name if a film is in another language, e.g. in English? What should it be like and where should it be located?
I have a Foreign Language 'smart playlist', that teases out language other than english. Smart playlists (wiki)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>Foreign Language</name>
    <match>all</match>
    <rule field="path" operator="startswith">
        <value>J:\Foreign\</value>
    </rule>
    <rule field="audiolanguage" operator="isnot">
        <value>english</value>
    </rule>
    <order direction="ascending">country</order>
</smartplaylist>


You can also put all Foreign Language into one source folder and use a smart playlist with a 'path' to source rule as the example does.
Tags are also a possibility along with genre to tease out the files. Tags (wiki)
If you add some marker in the title, you could use that with a playlist, then save the playlist to favourites or add it to your home window (skin dependant).
OK, thank you very much, also for the code!

And do I have to add the name of the language to the movie folder and / or video file?
