Better Audio Selection Titles

In the various Plex media players, the current Audio selection popup or steam selector includes some information from the Media Info. It should also include the Title attribute.

Today, the selector is in the format: <language> (<codec> <channels>). That is, media info that has language: English, with codec: AC3 and channels: 5.1 will show up in the streams and/or popup as English (AC3 5.1). The track title (title: Commentary) is ignored.

Many people change the audio track titles to things such as “Commentary” to make them easier to find. In players like VLC, that is what shows up: <title> - [<language>], in this case it shows Commentary - [English].

However, if you wish to preserve the additional info, perhaps Plex could show <title> [<language>] (<codec> <channels>) so this case would render Commentary [English] (AC3 5.1).

All of this makes it easier for people who enjoy these additional tracks to use them.

Thank you.
