Right now PMS lists and displays the first audio stream in any container (MP4, MKV, etc.), even if it is not flagged as the default stream.

&nbsp;

For instance in this movie, the 4th stream is the default, enabled audio stream (DTS).

The 2 audio streams before it (AAC 2-ch and AC3 6-ch) are not enabled (not marked as default).

&nbsp;

Media Browser recognizes the DTS stream as the default audio stream and displays it correctly in Media Browser Classic.

&nbsp;

However, Plex displays and uses the first audio stream (in this case the 2-ch AAC stream) instead of the enabled, default stream (should be the DTS stream).

&nbsp;

I'd like to submit a feature request to have Plex use the enabled 'default' audio stream instead of the first stream in a container.
