Having English titles with French synopsis

[Tangsgod 22]

Hi!

I would like to setup my librairie with english titles and with french synopsis, is it something possible with Emby?

I hope it is!

Currently no as metadata will come from source as a package deal, so French metadata query will use French for all fields.

But you can then edit the titles to English and lock them.  Less trivial effort for series than movies, though.

How would you see that?

That. Or scrape everything in English, lock titles, change library language to French and rescrape all. Less typing.

The three-dot meu for an item gives an option to edit its metadata, and the first entry there is the title.  There is a padlock on the right to lock it:

Seems like a godd solution. Is there a possibility to lock all movies titles at once or do we have to do it one by one?

Do you write nfo files with media?  If yes it could be done but a tedious process.

You could fetch everything in English

Then bulk edit all nfo files adding "<lockedfields>Name</lockedfields>" with something notepadd++ (don't know the regex off the top of head)

Scan library

Then refetch everything in French.

Then as you add media it would only be a single edit of Title and locking the field.

Or manually lock Titles as Grim mentioned.

If you don't write nfo files this you would have to manually do every item.

I don't use nfo files, but with your solution i may start to use it. To create nfo, this is an option in the librairie setting ? 

I may have another solution, not exactly what i wanted first but it could do the job if it can be done:

when Emby fetch the metadata you said that it come as a package deal with the choosen language. I noticed that whatever is the choosen langage, the original title is (of course) always the same.

So, is it possible to fetch the metadata in french or another langage, and have the orignal titles as titles of the movies?

(I remember that this is how i was doing it in plex)

No, sadly it doesnt work that way.

But I remember multiple requests about this in the Feature requests forum.
