No audio language listing on pre-play screen

Plex Players Player Betas
1

webOS version: 3.8.0
Player version: 5.1.2

A rather glaring inconsistency here. On the new player, the pre-play screen does not tell you what language the audio track is, but it does for the subtitles:

This is a blu-ray rip I did with a half-dozen audio languages on it.
All I can tell is it’s 5.1 channel and DCA (DTS) audio.
Compare to the old player:

I also notice the new player’s screen does not mention the video codec at all. If this information is now considered “superfluous” by Plex, why list the subtitle format or audio codec?

I’ve said it before, but it would be nice for audio and subtitle selection move to the pre-play screen itself and out of the More (three dots) menu. That menu is not intuitive to anyone, and is a blight brought about by “web 2.0” design silliness.
