I'd love that!

How do you approach the challenge (of getting the movies / series in English and non-English) at the moment?

Do you download two versions of the same movie?

Do you use Radarr/Sonarr and Plex? How did you set them up to be "bilingual"?

    I've always only torrented movies "manually" until a few weeks ago, when I set up my first media server with jellyfin and sonarr/radarr, and set the language to italian only. often however I see that the requested movies not downloading automatically because no italian torrent is found with the required resolution (1080p), and/or the ones actually available have 0 seeds, while there's plenty of English torrents with loads of seeders

    As someone being bilingual en/de and my family being primarily pl/de:
    I will either manually remux my own from torrent/usenet releases or (usually for shows) usually just download the german version.
    Usually the uploaders include the english track anyway.

    Regarding your question for multilingual radarr/sonarr: https://trash-guides.info/Radarr/radarr-setup-quality-profiles-french-en/
    Just replace fr with language of choice :)

    Thank you for chipping in!

    I guess I have to keep my eyes open for movies series in my own language and hope they come with the original (English) sound included.

    But if not: how does the whole remuxxing work? I have literally zero ideas how to get started with that. Where do you find the right (non-english) audio track(s) for the movies? Which software do you use? Etc...

    Thanks for the link for Radarr dual-language setup! I came across it before :)

    How to remux:
    My program of choice: MakeMKV
    How to:
    Import two sources
    Choose which tracks you want -> Example:
    Video: The best video track of the two
    Audio: 7.1 dolby EN (source 1) and Stereo DE (source 2)
    Subtitle: 2-4 subtitle tracks (if needed). 2 from source 1 in EN, 2 from source 2 in DE
    Remux it into a MKV (basically a zip version of a movie folder with each track included)
    Rename your own release to fit the naming scheme
    Import into *arr/media library.

    For an actual guide better search on YT/Google as only text might be difficult.
