[Feature Request] Per Section/Series Audio/Subtitle Language

The current auto-selection of languages for subtitles and audio languages is useful, but it would be nice if it were possible to give preferred settings in a per library section or per tv series way.

 

Say I had the system defaulting to english with no subtitles, but I had a "Japanese Kung Fu" movies section.  It would be nice if I could set that entire section to default to the japanese language with subtitles on rather than it turning off the subtitles and selecting english automatically like my regular movies section.

i would really like this

Me, too. Like+1 the first post.

this would be amazingly convenient.

Would love this for my anime. +1

This is exactly what I was looking for.

When you select ‘Automatically select audio/subtitle tracks’, there is no option to simply only use the ‘Forced/default’ flags within the file itself. Without this, your only options are to always use subs when they are available (the ‘Show only with Foreign Audio’ option is broken) or no subs at all. No subs isn’t that big a deal for movies, but for anime its a big deal. With the always subs option, TV suffers when a sub track is available.

Might open a separate ‘show only with foreign audio is broken’ thread.

Early 2021 clean-up: duplicate (the other thread is slightly newer but already using the current naming → library instead of category)
