Is there a way to automatically detect kids movies or foreign movies and put them into the right folders, for example
When completed
Miss Bala, Roma, Coco, Finding Nemo
After completion move to
Foreign = Miss Bala and Roma
Kids= Coco and findnemo
Right now I do a manual drag and drop in the the correct folder when completed. I tried looking if there is a way looking at the TAG of the file, meta data, but there is nothing consistent in the metadata that would help accomplish this.
Well, the first problem you will encounter is that your goal is not clearly defined, and it's definitely a matter of degree in many cases, and different people might make different decisions.
e.g. "Kids Movies" is not defined by "Coco or Finding Nemo" but "Movies that are kinda like Coco or Finding Nemo". If I give you a random movie, what thought process will you apply to identify this movie as "Kids Movie" or "Normal Movie"?
Unfortunately, I'm not aware any of any online metadata that would tag movies as "kids" or "foreign", but the existing metadata is definitely good enough for some basic heuristics that'll probably mostly work. @kim already gave you a good starting point for that.
thank you Rednose and Kim for you help, this will help me get started. What you guys think of this, so I am thinking making a python script, thinking of grabbing the information form IMDB, as IMDB displays the following under details and also of the mp4, movies format do not display mush in the meta data.
For foreign - Say if the first language is other than English, it will redirect the movies to foreign folder
For Kids - Say if it states animation or cartoon it stores it within the kids folder

In addition to Kim's suggestion you could look at PG rating of a movie and filter by that.
You probably don't need custom scripts to do what you mentioned as FileBot already has genre and certification as binding, but you'd be relying on The Movie DB, not IMDb.
For languages you can get original language as a binding or get the audio language from MediaInfo, if there is one.
