Actually, on further reflection I’m not sure this approach makes sense: Video, Sound and Subtitles are all elements of the same encode. They can NOT be independently set. Given this, it doesn’t make sense to show them as 3 independently selectable drop downs.
I like the general approach here:
However, I would make the following critiques:
- As @kamhouse himself later suggested:
- As I noted in my previous post, as the director, encode details, (and other details) can (and often do) change with a cut, the “cut” needs to be moved above these details. @kamhouse’s mockup does this for the web app, but not the 10 foot UI. However, even in the webapp one, items like year, rating, etc. are above. It’s possible these may vary with different cuts. Furthermore, while the web app mockup has the “cut” above most details, it presents them all at the same time which implies the details below will not change based on the “cut” that is selected.
A Proposal
Given the above, I think the best option is a drop down. Two possible options that bear the above semantics in mind:
-
Below the title:
-
To the right of the title:
I’ve included the run time in the drop down as I think this is often a key attribute of the “cut.” But there’s nothing essential about this. (Also, obviously the run time should be accurate 
)
I’m sure the Plex team would be able to make it look far far prettier than I have. At least I hope so 
With regards to “versions,” as per my previous post, I think the simplest option is to include the full filename in the “Play version” dialogue. Importantly, a “version” should be a “child” of a “cut”. i.e. it doesn’t make sense to show a 1080p encode of the “theatrical release” as “version” option when the “final cut” has been selected as the “cut.”
