Hi! Is it possible to attach an external audio track (\*.mka) to video (\*.mkv) in PLEX? I tried to rename audio files to the same name as video but it doesn't work. May be I'm missing something... ---

> [@Alternate \[external\] Audio Tracks](https://forums.plex.tv/t/alternate-external-audio-tracks/20559/1): > > Directors Commentary, Dubs, etc.I'd love the ability to load external audio tracks for directors commentaries, things like MST3K-style alternate audios, dubs, etc. Sometimes these are in MKV, but sometimes you find them as separate files. Would love to be able to play simultaneously!
