[All Platform] View different language movies separately - Ashaneil - 2011-05-02

Hi,
Not sure if this has been asked and answered but I could not find anything on this topic.

I have movies in multiple languages (not just audio tracks): English, Spanish and French movies. The movie names are in the said language (they may contain English audio tracks).

The movies are located using the following structure:
Home Theater
>> Movies.EN
>>>> Tron: Legacy (2011)
...
>> Movies.ES
>>>> ReciƩn Cazado (2009)
...
>> Movies.FR
>>>> Nothing to Declare (2010)
...

I don't all the movies appearing in the same view. I would like to be able to see Movies (English), Movies (Spanish), Movies (French)... . Is this possible?

Are you talking about creating a smart playlist like below?

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<smartplaylist type="movies">
    <name>Movies (English)</name>
    <match>one</match>
   <rule field="path" operator="startswith">/share/movies.en/</rule>
    <rule field="path" operator="startswith">smb://MEDIASERVER/movies.en</rule>
    <order direction="ascending">movies</order>
</smartplaylist>

If so, then just use path as the field?

Also, will the library still function?
