A lot of movie files set the default audio track to AC3, Plex by default plays that default track.
I want always DTS if available.
It would be very nice to have a setting where I can say Plex what track to pick so I don’t have to change it after I have started the movie.

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (Plex will pick the best available/compatible track matching your language preference unless you manually select another one)
