I was watching a movie on my local network via PLEX. It started glitching and saying I didn’t have enough bandwidth - which for a 1080 movie is hard to believe. I stopped play, and when I resumed it, the language had changed. I paused the movie and looked at the audio choices. English and Italian. Changed it to English with a note to mux the Italian out later. After the movie was over, I pulled up the movie and looked and it doesn’t HAVE Italian as a second audio track. The second audio track was a commentary track.
I have a shared library with a friend and his version of the same movie only has one audio track.
So where did that Italian come from? Pretty sure PLEX Passes can give you access to subtitles, but languages? This is kind of creepy.
Plex cannot pull audio tracks out of thin air.
The language you heard must have existed somewhere. Either on your server or among the trailers and extras of that movie.
Turns out I have a different copy of that movie with Italian but it is in a different library. I have a library of just 4K movies. Only have a handful. The italian language one is in there. But I wasn’t looking in that library.
So I guess somewhere in the process of watching that film it got confused as to which library it was looking at and pulled the movie from a different one. Still very odd.
