Serviio

Hello guys,

I'm happily using Serviio since a while now; I came up with a couple of improvements I'd like too see implemented to improve my experience with it
(I'm going to keep these two proposal into two separate threads just to avoid confusion).

It happens to me to have shows in two different languages (usually english w/ subs and my own language); in my case, the language is specified in the filename (so I can get this information picking the media under "Folders"), but this information is lost under the "Shows" folder.
The current behavior is more confusing when the same season of the same show is present in both languages: the two files will show the very same metadata information.

So I'm wondering if it would be possible having an extra "tag" - that could be extracted from the filename, like the season/episode info - and use it to provide further details on the episode itself.

Something like the following:


The idea is to use this "new" information with the other metadata fetched online, and presented something like the following:

or

(this second approach might need to request the user to provide his/her "default" language)

A further improvement might be allow the user to specify the subtitle languages (if any)

so that



Do you believe this is something feasible?

Thanks and Regards

it is doable, but not sure how many users would actually be using this.

could be used in conjunction to audio track selection, then alot of users would use it. but instead of the user adding the (en) serviio could do it itself language of a track is avilible in ffmpeg report i think?

I'd say using embedding such kind of information into the track is a cleaner solution... I strongly believe there's an ID3 tag for the language, if it can be used transparently across all the media types, it could save some work

I'd like to have that too. Full language name in the title should be possible too
