How is possible to switch from one to another in mediaportal scren not in configuration?
Is possible to use two version of the plugin at the same time?

No to all, and why would you want that anyways?

Cause i have English and dubbed version of the same episodes ans series and I want to use different database for different language.

You could just create different 'views' for that.

... or even better mux the audiotracks together and have only single episodes with multiple audiotracks... also saves space...

"AVI Mux GUI" is extremly easy for that, it supports AVI files (obviously by the title), but also MKV files.

It can even embed text-based subtitles into AVI files, though that is not a well supported solution, so usually better to keep SRT file seperate. But it does support bitmap-based and text-based subtitles for MKV, as well as chapters. And multi-audio tracks of course (both AVI and MKV), just don't forget to set the language fields, or you will get confused selecting it within MediaPortal.

AVI-Mux GUI

PS: You can also use it to extract audio, subtitle and video streams out of an existing file, so you can remux it back into a new one. It can also join multi-part files together. And since you are not transcoding any audio or videostream, it goes as fast as your system can go, usually 20-30MB/s, so a 700MB file will take about 30 seconds.

Could you explain?

Dubbed are in PAL from SDrip or from DVDrip and Original are in NTSC from HDrip.
And the bigest problem is that the cuts for the commercial doesn't have the same timing!

You can do it from within the GUI, but it is easier to do it from within control panel. Use the tab 'Views/Filters', and have a look at the existing Views that are installed by default. Then you would just add your new view. One 'English' and one 'German', and just select/edit which shows you want under each view.

This does depend on the ability for you to seperate those 2 at some level, as in there is both a German entry and English one in MP-TVSeries. Or for example you could setup seperate import paths for each language, and then you can use the Template Views 'Removable Media' and 'Local Media' to seperate them by marking one import path removable (assuming you don't need this option for normal usage). Another option for this type of view filtering could be 'Subtitles' and 'Multiple Audio Tracks', but this would mean that you are indeed able to seperate them based on that.

A fancier way would be filter based on language, but you would need to know semi-SQL and edit the database to edit the `Views` table with the viewConfig field. You could then construct a new view that contains an <Episode.Language>;like;%en%<;> based setup for the English ones, and an <Episode.Language>;like;%de%<;> for the German ones. This is assuming your German videofiles report it as such to MediaInfo. You would have to verify the online_episode.Language SQL field values for that.

Might be easier for you to just place a dummy filename.srt file to go along with say the German versions and use the default View template 'Subtitles' to seperate.

Or you can be patient and wait for a future upgrade, because a better way is in the works, but will take a while for the developers to finish.

PS: <Episode.EpisodeFilename> is another option if you are able to SQL edit the Views, and your filenames contain the indication on language.

I have another problem.

The first two dubbed version's episodes are in separated files.
The first two subbed version's episodes are in one file only.

If i import even manually the second episode for the separated files version it disapears after manual import.
If i delete the one file version the second episode for the separated files version is automatically added.

How i can fix this?

PS: Your avatar is amazing! I love it.

I try the 'Subtitles' filtering but the filter display no item even if the tag availablesubtitle is "1".

Another question, I can display non subbed item?
