Is there a structure to have multi languages on Movies/TV Shows by files ? I have a TV show in 2 languages but its on separate files and would like have both on Plex under the same “item”
Example
┌── Show Name
│──── Season 1
│ └── Episode 01 (Eng)
└── Episode 01 (Swe,Dan,Nor)
You could handle the files as different “Versions” of the same episode – however the Play Version dialog is focusing on video quality and not languages available in the file.
TV Shows
/ Show Name
/ Season 01
Show Name - s01e01.English.ext
Show Name - s01e01.Swedish.ext
Show Name - s01e01.Danish Version.ext
Show Name - s01e01.Norwegian Edition.ext
This should show as a single episode item in your library with a blue square in its top left corner, indicating there’s 4 versions of that file.
Personally I wouldn’t recommend that approach as you’d end up guessing which exact version to play.
Have you considered merging the files using e.g. MKVToolNix, using the video stream from one of the files and include all the audio/subtitle tracks? This way you’ll get a single episode entry and can use the language selectors from the episode pre-play screen (as shown below on a movie pre-play screen…)
