I’m using plex server Version 1.16.0.1226 and a Roku Streaming Stick+. I’m watching a movie which has two MKV’s. AT first the server didn’t recognize there was two parts. I renamed them adding adding part 1 and Part 2. That worked, it now see both and adds them to the whole. He’s the bug. I’m watching it in french, second language. When on the second MKV it will not use the second langue stream no matter what I do. And I know it’s there I can use VLC on the second language stream. I know PLEX see it because it actually says the correct language; french. Not sure what I can do now.
I have another movie two part mkv and it’s the same thing. If you want to listen to the second stream on the second MKV it will only play the first Language stream. This has to be a bug.
When you bring up that Media Info window, in the lower left corner is the View XML link. Use it and save the output. Zip it up and upload the XML output for both parts of your video please.
Also screenshot or just try adjusting your Settings > Account > Audio & Subtitle Settings to see if you can further adjust how it automatically chooses the audio.
Do you have any experience with remuxing or apps like mkvtoolnix?
Thanks for explaining how it’s choosing the first audio track.
Both parts? Plex has created one movie and it’s combining the two MKV’s. I only have one option, one view.
It was set to default, which is English. I tried as my default English, french. It doesn’t seem to change anything. Like I said, two movies with the mkv’s same thing. I don’t believe it the mkv’s I think it’s a bug. And merging the mkv’s problably will fix the problem but doesn’t fix the bug.
IT doesn’t work. This is what I believe is happening. Since plex server is appending the second MKV, it’s not checking which audio stream the user is employing. This is an over site; how hard could it be to check language stream and use it for the appended MKV(s). I believe there will be more movies in the future which will require disks.
Anyway to tell the programmers to check on this? Meanwhile, the only option is to merge the two MKV’s togather. To bad, I have really no complains. Plex work almost just like VLC’ plays everything.
Use a desktop/laptop and go into Settings > Account > Audio & Subtitle Settings
Hit the Edit link please, and make Preferred Audio Language say French.
Test again.
It’s one thing to overlook the language from the preceding part,
it’s another thing to ignore your default choice of language.
