Better visual support for commentary tracks

Feature Suggestions

Currently, in the Plex Media Server or mobile apps, you can choose which audio stream you want to use when you start the video. In the Plex Media Center / HT, you can change the audio stream once you have started the video, but there is no visual indication that there are multiple streams. I would like to see two things:


  1. Show what audio tracks are available visually in the Media Center / HT client


  2. Support for naming the extra audio tracks. Most commentary tracks are just the stereo tracks. Sometimes you have a movie that has multiple commentaries, it would be nice to be able to label them so you know what exactly they are.

Most video containers already allow you to give track names to audio and subtitles embedded into the file however plex doesn’t use these track names at all except in the Plex HT client and only for audio. I agree totally that there has to be some sort of way of telling what is what especially when there is a list of three or more tracks all with the same language.
