Good evening everyone. I am very new to XBMC so please excuse if this question is posted wrong here, but I spent hours searching for the following: Is there any way that XBMC shows the language of a specific movie with a "country flag" or something similar in the movie overview. My movies all have to following structure: "The Forbidden Kingdom.2008.Ger.mkv" or "Yogi Baer.2010.Dl.avi" whereas "Ger" stands for German and "Dl" stands for dual. The single folder that contains the movie has the same naming. Within YAMJ I was abe to then show the respective country flag on the movie poster. In addition, YAMJ indicated the presence of subtitles with a litte "flag" on the specific movie. Thank's to everbody who can help me further here.

yes, it's more or less possible to show a country flag based on the movie language. but you'll need a skin that has implemented it (i don't know of any that currently does this).
i say 'more or less' since it's only possible to show 1 language even if the movie contains multiple.
for this reason i have never added it to the Transparency! skin.

thanks for the answer! Too bad however, as I have lots of movies that are once in english and once in german or even in another language. Would be great to see right away what language comes with a given movie. Would also be great to see right away if a given movie has subtitles available. YAMJ does this based on the naming of the movie. I.e. "yogi baer.2010.ger.mkv" will show a german flag in the poster "yogi baer.2010.eng.mkv" will show an english flag etc.

I also need this function badly.
I live in Russia. And when I am watching a movie with my wife I wish to know language options available.
Would be really GREAT to have a skin with filtering language capabilities. For example, to select only movies with English audio track and Russian subtitles.
I believe this is achievable because language information is in the XBMC media library database.

Yes, I too would love this feature. Right now, all I can do is download a poster that is in the language of the movie. But if the title is the same as in english, then it clearly does not tell me anything. Also, if the movie has double or triple language track, then it's also a problem.

+1 for that feature, multilanguage support would be perfect, but what I really NEED right now is library filtering by the primary language of a movie.
