Filter videos by audio stream language - Emailluka - 2023-12-31

Regarding: https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/39/filter-videos-by-audio-stream-language

there are other requests for this or a similar feature (as i see it):
https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/690/be-able-to-search-and-filter-by-language-movies-series
https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/462/filters-and-category-more-friendly-polarized-user-and-add-more-options

Someone looked already into it, but nothing more.
It was merged to Fider in 2019 -> https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/617

There are 'workarounds' postet like f.ex.-> https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/pull/8889
Also someone who adds a language-tag and sorts by that via a script

I hope its ok to ask if this might be implemented directly - or even considered - because filtering for language would really be a great feature for everyone with content in different/multiple languages.

Thank you

p.s.: if i overlooked that feature somehow.. please just point me to where i could do that. did not find it in either web-view nor jellyfin-mediaplayer for windows

Hey, I wrote a plugin that adds language tags to your media based on its audio tracks. This A) allows filtering by language on demand and B) makes it possible to show users only content thats available in their desired language via parental controls.
