| | Posted: | | | | I would really love to see the addition of World Cinema (or Foreign) to the genre list.
There's no current way (that I know of) where I can sort my collection for World Cinema. I could possibly do a audio track search, but it not really the same, and even then includes English spoken films that are dubbed.
Another, better, suggestion would be a tick box (with the genre list), to indicate a foreign film as this still allows for three, film storyline relevant, genres to be chosen. |

| | Posted: | | | | It was part of the genres in previous version, but removed for Version 3.0. The inclusion of Country of Origin was designed to replace it. |

You can use tags for this purpose of course, worth a try as many users are utilising this function for just this reason. The problem I see regarding a 'foreign or world cinema' genre is that it is dependent on who is viewing the dvd. I buy a film from Hong Kong and it is foreign to me. However to a Hong Kong user the same DVD isn't, and vice-versa. cheers rich | | |  |

rich I was just about to type this myself....being a Canadian, I'd say that 95% of my collection is foreign  |

How am I able to sort by country of origin? Menu -> Collection -> Sort by -> Country of Origin -> Ascending or if you have meant to filter for CoO: Filters -> General -> Country of Origin | | | | Last edited: by RHo |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes I think it's a good thing that Foreign genre has been deleted because it depends of the country of the people. For exemple for an US people, the movie xyz from USA is not a foreign movie but for a people of France, it is. So it's a little bit too complicate to manage.
Tags, has already said is a good solution to add more personal genre to your collection and you can filter on this fields. | | | Regards

| | Posted: | | | | Shows how much attention I paid to the "foreign" genre entry. I didn't know it was even gone. It never made sense to me anyway, so I never used it, but I didn't even miss its absence.  | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)
