Multiple Languages, Multiple Files - FilmForge3d - 2025-06-18
I have the same movie in two different languages as two different files. Based on the documentation I named the files Movie (2013).en.mp4 and Movie (2013).de.mp4, both placed in the folder Movie (2013) [imbdid-tt000000].
Is far as I understand they should now show up as a single movie with the option to select the language as it is possible with two audio files baked in, but they don't. Instead I have two separate movies next to one another.
Is there a way to merge them without reencoding the files?

You did not name your files as the documentation states for multiple versions.
The part before any suffixes MUST be exactly the same, including any years and/or metadata provider IDs.

I just checkt my library and they are in fact exactly the same before .de.mp4 or .en.mp4
Turns out the movie in question didn't need the imdbid, but I will keep this in mind when I have different versions again.
