[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1060517, member: 18896"] The FAQ relates to Moving-Pictures plugin, that I made a long time ago (should mainly still be valid, but things might look a tiny bit different in new versions). So look for "Working with filters and custom categories, genres, etc" @ [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/faq-frequently-asked-questions-read-this-first.76721/[/url] To seperate different languages or different versions of the same movie, I use IMDb+ scraper plugin system for that, and then I adjust a filename to for example "Example movie ([Dutch HD]) (tt1234567).mkv" and it will import into Moving-Pictures as "Example Movie [Dutch HD]" and can sit alongside "Example Movie" and even have different cover/fanart. It allows me quickly to spot the different movies inside, and would apply to the "All Movies" overview, or any dynamic view that lists those multiple titles. Of course creating custom categories would work as well, and you could create a filter saying "Full Path" -> 'contains' -> "(Eng)" and then another seperate category for "Full Path" -> 'contains' -> "(Ger)", but you have to keep in mind that you will have to then add a "Full Path" -> 'does not contain' -> "(Eng)" as well s "(Ger)" for the "All Movies" dynamic category if you want to keep things clean in there. In fact on my Moving-Pictures the "All Movies" view has like 60 filter entries to exclude some categories that I prefer to have seperated. As for your TV shows, I use MP-TVSeries plugin for that, and it becomes a little it trickier for that one. You would have to setup a "string replacement" entry that turns "Lost Girl (Ger)" into "Some show title that will fail wizard auto detection", so that the MP-TVSeries importer will import the German version as "LostGirl" show with no TheTVdB match. Then you use the MP-TVSeries wiki entry that explains who to manually add Sports shows, and you create a manual version of "Lost Girl" that is dedicated to your German version, even down to German cover art, German summary, etc. Of course you have to also edit the episode summary in manual easy time, but I personally have those disabled out of fear of spoilers anyway and I never care to know Actor/Directors on episodes. I use that method to allow multi-user support, so a new season of "The Big Bang Theory" is imported seperatly from the older seasons and placed inside a PIN-protected view, so that the new episodes can not be played without me being there, but the older seasons are accessible by everybody. PS: Keep in mind that it depends on your used parsing expression as to how extensive you have to apply the string replacement entry, and be sure to select 'before' checkbox. What I mean is what you might need to replace "Lost Girl (Ger)\Season 01\Lost Girl S" with "Lost Girl (Ger)\Season 01\LostGirl S" as the final "Lost Girl S..E.." is the one that would kick in the parsing expression detection, but you did not provide an actual full path example to give you proper help on that.
