I have a large collection of primarily-English TV shows, however some of them are of a variety of other languages. In some instances, I have different sets of files representing the same series but in different languages.
When adding the "TV" folder, one seems to implicitly define a language which will be used for all series scanned (it's an optional setting). All well and good until you hit something which you don't want in English, since it will regardless use the English title and metadata (no matter what the folder-name of the series was).
I had hoped that the tvshow.nfo file would permit me to override this. For example, consider the possibility of the following folders in TV/
My Little Pony - Friendship is Magic/
My Little Pony - Freundschaft ist Magie/
In my case, the latter contains a tvshow.nfo with the following content:
The language is effectively specified here both by the _de and by the &lid=14 markers (in the ID and URL respectively), but unfortunately both seem to be ignored, and the English metadata is used; the only thing that IS honoured is the manually specified Title.
The user is forced to resort to manually selecting the series folder in the Files viewer, and setting an individual language override.
Might it be possible for this to be done automatically by the scraper, based on either of the two indicators I've mentioned here?
EDIT: It seems that this has been asked before, if not with a very informative thread title. https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid...nguage+nfo
