Is it possible to have separate library based on language?

I'm not sure how to do it automatically.

I tried this and ran it as cronjob with every reboot

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# Define directories and language code
SOURCE_DIR="/drive1t/media/movies"
TARGET_DIR="/drive1t/media/himovies"
LANGUAGE="hin"

# Check ffprobe path (modify if necessary)
FFPROBE_PATH="/usr/bin/ffprobe"  # Update this if ffprobe is in a different location

# Create the target directory if it doesn't exist
mkdir -p "$TARGET_DIR"

while true; do
  # Loop through video files (mp4, mkv)
  find "$SOURCE_DIR" -type f \( -name "*.mp4" -o -name "*.mkv" \) | while read -r FILE; do
    echo "Processing file: $FILE"

    # Extract language using ffprobe (error handling added)
    LANG=$("$FFPROBE_PATH" -v error -select_streams a:0 -show_entries stream=codec_type:stream_tags=language:stream=codec_name -of default=noprint_wrappers=1:nokey=1 "$FILE" 2>&1 | grep -oP '(?<=language=)[^,]+' | head -n 1)

    # Check for ffprobe errors (optional)
    if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
      echo "Error extracting language for: $FILE (ffprobe might have failed)"
      continue  # Skip to the next file if ffprobe has errors
    fi

    echo "Detected language: $LANG"

    # Check if language matches and create symlink if needed
    if [ "$LANG" == "$LANGUAGE" ]; then
      if [ ! -L "$TARGET_DIR/$(basename "$FILE")" ]; then
        ln -s "$FILE" "$TARGET_DIR/$(basename "$FILE")"
        echo "Created symlink for: $FILE"
      else
        echo "Symlink already exists for: $FILE"
      fi
    fi
  done

  # Sleep for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
  sleep 600
done

....doesn't work tho
