Hello,
Context
Currently when creating a filter for a playlist, the boolean operation is "all or nothing" :
Request
Would it be possible to add a way to have advanced boolean operations on filters ? I.e. being able to do something like: ("X equals A" OR "X equals B") AND Y is C -> combination of AND / OR with parentheses
Example usage
When creating playlists for filtering content based on language I realized that I sometimes content uses different ISO 639 macrolanguage flavours to set the metadata value for the language.
Sometimes they use three letters as in 639-2, 639-2/T or even 639-3... or even the two letter as in ISO 639-1...
The problem is that the language codes are not the same for these flavours, for instance french is fr, fre or fra... (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes for more information)
From my understanding, currently it is not possible to create filter rules where "language is "code1" OR "code2" while having a set of other rules which must all return "true"
As a result it is difficult to have a working filter.
Thank you in advance for considering this request,

- AND operation: all filters must return true
- OR operation: it is enough to have a single filter to return true
