Jellyfin compatible naming scheme : MULTi
Posted: 27 Sep 2025, 23:52
Hi,
Following main thread (Jellyfin compatible naming scheme) here is second part of the main idea named "MULTi"
For many non English (or for non English movies) we can have a specific tag to highlight that multiple languages are included with the movie.
If existing in original filename or if multiple language audio tracks are detected. I'd like to have MULTi in new filename.
There's a catch I could have multiple audio tracks of the same language (ie audio description, comment, different codec) that don't match for MULTi.
But, by example for an English movie, if I've an French audio track, I only will have comment audio track in English if I've also an English audio track for the movie itself.
If (order not relevant) :
- ENG + FRA = MULTI (each of them is a main title audio track)
- ENG + ENG = VO (2 main title tracks with different codec/quality, or different dubbing, or one main track and a commentary track, by example
- ENG + ENG + FRA = MULTi
- ENG + FRA + FRA = MULTi
- ENG + FRA + ITA = MULTi
I know that DUAL tag also exist, but I prefer to stick to MULTi for example described above.
Thank in advance
