[Feature Request] Show Metadata Titles Instead of Codec

This has been bugging me for a while, I assumed it would have been a natural update, so
I left it alone until now.

It would be more helpful in my eyes while looking at any episode/movie to show the title
of the metadata instead of or in addition to the codec (I know that Plex sees that information images 3 through 6). The language and channel count is nice to have.

Below are images 1 & 2 of a movie with multiple audio parts, and subtitles. Audio parts include a DTS MA 5.1 English, one AC-3 5.1 English Scene Explanation (for the blind), three AC-3 5.1 English commentary tracks, and two AC-3 5.1 foreign language audio dubbed tracks. Subtitles include English foreign language forced closed captions, English closed captions, English closed captions SDH, and two foreign language closed captions tracks. I didn’t include images of how Plex sees the metadata for the video, main audio, or foreign language audio/subtitle tracks as they are fine as is.

You can see how confusing it can be to understand what is what at a glance without having to either select one of the tracks, or going into the metadata and check before playing.

Last thing is, when I edit tracks with MKVToolNix, things that I select Force or Default for, don’t automatically get selected when being added to Plex even though it understands one track is forced. I have to select the track myself (which can get pretty annoying for subtitles for tv episodes).

This would be really helpful because Plex already shows the data on get info page. But when playing back, I have no way to tell what the extra tracks are without using a computer to look at the details… This would resolve that and Plex already clearly has the data, just needs to show it…
