Hi. I have a father that use to borrow BD's from me. Now that I got over 200 titles, I'd like to filter my bd's with following criteria.
1. With Norwegian subtitles
2. Filter away BD's he's allready borrowed
3. Filter away BD's he's allready seen (might be the same as #2)
How do I do that?

does he still borrow or not? opening statement is confusing.. but  Your BD's are  filtered already..,
and if you use the 'history details'  of each title and keep his name in the database as a borrower  this is done already..
Otherwise there are tags you can create for each BD title  re:  borrowed or not ..

How do I do that?

First you have to narrow down to Blu-ray only by checking it off in the Format tab, then select Norwegian in the Audio/Sub. tab.

That's the easy part. For 2/3 you may have to do some work. As you can see under the Personal tab, there's no way to filter on borrowed by a specific person. Only whether the movie's been borrowed at all or is currently borrowed, by anyone.

So, what I'd suggest would be to start checking off your dad as having watched movies when he borrows them. That will allow you to filter by Watched Status, which is also available in the Personal tab. You may have to modify your dad's account and put a checkmark in the "Watches DVDs" box. To modify users, go to Tools->Edit Users...

For movies he's already borrowed and returned I don't think you have much of a choice but to first filter so that you see movies that have ever been borrowed by anyone, and then manually checking those for which ones he's borrowed, and updating the Watched Status accordingly.

What I want to know is if Dad screws up, have you told him he will "sleep with the fishes".               Or did he make you an offer you couldn't refuse.

The Database Query plug-in will allow you to query which movies have been borrowed by a specific user and you can even filter by the number of times they've borrowed it.

Of course that doesn't really solve this issue which is to find out which movies a specific user has not borrowed. 
Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.
