A way to search for foreign language movies/shows - EyeCandy - 2014-11-13

I would like a way to search for movies that contain English + at least one other language. So the language field contains "en" but not only "en".

Thanks for considering it.

Do you mean the field spoken languages or audio streams?

smart playlists, for example this for subs... you need three characters, spa, eng, swe, por ... in minus


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
<name>Movies with Swedish subs</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="subtitlelanguage" operator="is">
<value>swe</value>
</rule>
<group>none</group>
</smartplaylist>

and this for audio stream

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
<name>film vo</name>
<match>all</match>
<rule field="audiolanguage" operator="is">ENG</rule>
<order direction="ascending">title</order>
</smartplaylist>

I was thinking of spoken languages field, but audio streams would be much better. The languages field from IMDB is inaccurate for some of my movies, because they are showing the original languages and I have dubbed audio streams.

Thanks for this information that I can probably use. I am still interested in the original question which is searching within tinyMediaManager.
