Best practice for multi-language libraries

[Glin 7]

Hi,

my collection of movies and TV shows includes files with a German audio track, file with an English audio track and files that include both.

Is there a way to setup my server in such a way that I can easily show the German/English language movies (or TV shows) and have the description in German/English?

 

 

The way I have tried to do it is as follows:

1) Folder structure

    a- On my computer I created a folder "German" and placed files with German-only audio in there.

    b- I created an additional folder "English" and placed files with English-only audio in there.

    c- I then created a third folder "English and German" and copied all files that contain two audio-tracks to this location.

2) I then created two libaries in Emby, one called "English" and the other "German"

    a- I linked the "English" library to the folders "English" and "English and German".

    b- I linked the "German" library to the folders "German" and "English and German".

 

What is happening now is that I can indeed quickly filter the English/German movies (or TV shows) selecting the corresponding library. However, the description of the movies/TV shows as well as the cover art is always in English.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There currently is not a option for multi language metadata.  So you have to currently choose what language you want your "English and German" items to be.

Many thanks for your answers. I understand that currently there is no solution for what I am looking for but apparently others are also interested in having multiple metadata language available. I will add my request to the post that Happy2Play linked.
