Please add audio language filter/complex filters

[Modify3453 23]

Hey,

I have been switching from Plex to Emby but still go back to Plex for a few things - this is one of those things.

Plex lets you filter by the audio language, and more importantly lets you save 'complex' filters which may be a combination of filters.

These then become items which can be added as shelves or rows so to speak to home screens on a per-user basis.

 

At minimum, adding the audio language filters within a library would be really helpful for me.

The primary uses for me is filtering which content in a library has dual audio (English + another language), or foreign (no English) audio tracks.

Oops, I noticed the Feature Request section after posting this.

To clarify, I may have quoted too much of your request in my response.  What is coming in the next release is the ability to create custom home screen rows based on filters.  Not specifically the audio filter you are asking for.

That is still a huge step there and much appreciated. Thanks for clarifying.

Working in tandem with the Home Screen Companion plugin, audio languge filters are now also possible - really good improvements Emby!
