Choosing MetaData Agents - Mixed Language Collection

I have a mixed collection of both Russian and English language films. These are all in one folder. I have generally used the Russian language to name the films (eg Cyrillic not Russian-English).  I have in my agent list Flimz for Russian stuff and the usual for rest (TheMovieDB, TVMDB, etc)

 

When setting up a folder I see that in advance mode you can choose your agent - but does this mean that the others are not used. For example, if I choose the Movie DB, will when the folder is scanned also go to Filmz OR must I choose Filmz instead of the MoveDB. If so, can I do two scans - one with MoviueDB and one with Films so all (or most) of the folder is properly scanned?

 

Please help?

Hello All

Any thoughts here? :(

if it helps, I want to keep (as best as I can) the Cyrillic file naming so the russian films can be picked up by Filmz. But I also want the primary meteagent to be MovieDB.

When I choose a metaagent I cannot really use both can I?

You can use many metadata agents at once. They are all lined up under the "Freebase" agent. The first agent in the list that gets some data will win, so the sequence you put your agents in is important.

However, you can not set two different languages for a section.

I would recommend to have two folders, one for russian, one for english movie. Then make two sections and set the section language accordingly. This works perfectly for me (german/english).
