Hey!
What’s the reason of poorer metadata language selection on Apple TV. In my case Lithuanian language is available for metadata on macOS and iOS, but not available on Apple TV.

I don’t even see Lithuanian listed in the Apple iOS, tvOS or macOS app store for Infuse.
Maybe @james will have an answer.
Apple TV gives only English language and indicates region as Lithuania, but metadata is fetched in English:
I imagine that @FlyGoneCrazy sees Lithuanian as an option in macOS and iOS because their system language settings include Lithuanian as a language preference. The first few suggested languages in the list when selecting a language to choose for metadata in Infuse reflects the languages selected in the system language preferences. This is why I am able to see Persian as an option in Infuse on iOS/iPadOS/macOS, even though Persian is not an official language option for metadata in Infuse.
@keyx9y most probably you’re right. As Apple TV doesn’t have Lithuanian language, but has Lithuania as region. That’s why I see English (Lithuania).
Anyways, I’m curious why Infuse shows only some languages. As technically https://www.themoviedb.org/ supports any language you want. Of course content is not created for all languages, but this is just a question of fallback scenario - what to show if preferred language is not available.
I was wondering the same thing, but hopefully this will be addressed in a new upcoming feature where you can have the metadata display in the original language, though I am unsure how exactly this will be implemented and whether or not the list of available languages for metadata selection will be expanded.
