    Anyone know if there's a filter for Language (audio track)? Or am I just missing something? I can't find anything in any filtering option on any of the clients.

    That is not currently available as a filter.

    Best way I could suggest if you're looking for an alternative: use a media manager to tag with a unique identifier (e.g., "en-a" or "en-s" for audio/subs, respectively) and filter by that tag if your client supports it. This could get messy if there are already lots of existing tags but would provide this functionality.

    any plans on adding it? seems like a big oversight, especially for those with libraries that contain not-insignificant amounts of non-English-speaking content. or in lieu of that, how about exposing an "advanced search" option that leverages actual metadata embedded in the content? seems all Search really searches against are Titles, which - while obviously useful - is rather limited. anyway, just a suggestion for either feature to hopefully be added Smiling-face

    I did consider that, but that would mean going through each (>3000 titles) and adding that tag; doable, yes - desirable, not really; especially when Language is already encoded data on the media

    Yeah I looked at this in the app I use, which has auto-tagging, but it doesn't work for languages which is disappointing. So it's not just Jellyfin, doesn't seem like a priority for many apps. That app already includes metadata for languages taken in during scans, but you can't even sort/filter, which would allow you to manually mass tag. Frustrating to find a solution...

    Hello, I wrote a plugin that automatically tags media with languages based on its audio tracks. This allow for filtering and even showing users only content available in their desired language via parental controls.
