Add example for movie libraries splitted by language #22

Open roboyoshi opened 5 years ago

roboyoshi commented 5 years ago

Just so it was mentioned or can be tracked somewhere how one might want to go about it and what the Pro/Cons are.

1) Have all in the same folder 2) Split them at the higher level (movies-en, movies-fr, movies-de, ....) 3) Split them at the movie level ('movies/The Movie (Year) [en]', 'movies/The Movie (Year) [jp]' ... and maybe more..

Update:

As commented, there is also the option to move the language 1 level higher.. which is useful if you have a lot of different language content (en,de,fr,es,nl,ru,...).

I personally have them in root/video/german/movies/ but I dont know if root/video/movies/german/ is better

@fionera thanks for the comment. While that works pretty well, I think it duplicates too much of the hierarchy if you have a small amount of different languages. But I always like to see practical examples so for some (legit) reason you do it the other way around and that makes me think a bit harder about the problem at hand.. If I'd scale this filetree to ~20 languages, then I'd also argue that your approach would work better. It's therefore a nice alternative that I'll have to keep in mind.

Another solution would be to have another folder level in the folder of the movie itself. 'movies/The Movie (Year)/en/

I think curation for languages is dependent on how much you have and your focus.

'movies/The Movie (Year)/en/ is useful if you have lots of videos in multiple languages and it isn't encoded as a single file.

In other use cases, such as mine, where the focus is the nationality of origin, you have a high quantity of a limited set of languages being tracked, and most videos are only in a single language `root/video/japanese/movies/The Movie (Year)' allows for finding the way you might think of it (e.g. I want a Japanese movie/series). This also accounts for the rare times where two completely different countries make a show with the same name.

Both methods are valid, but different use cases.
