Set default audio and subtitle track for a specific movie

I recently added The Passion of the Christ (2004) to my library. As you probably know, this movie was originally filmed in Aramaic. However, in my library, besides the original Aramaic track, I also have dubbed audio tracks in English and Spanish.

My question is: how can I make Plex automatically select the Aramaic audio track by default for everyone accessing my server, regardless of the language settings on their client? I’m not referring to manually selecting the track in the playback options — I mean setting it as the default only for this specific movie.

Thanks in advance!

Remux it and reorder the audio tracks accordingly. If therte are no languages in there which conform to the user’s audio language preference, the first one will be used.
You cannot override the user’s language preferences.

I want to preserve all the tracks. If it can’t be done, then it should be implemented — just like the option to keep the original title of a specific movie has already been implemented.

This method doesn’t throw away any tracks. It just reorders them.

My video has 3 audio tracks: 1. Aramaic, 2. Spanish, 3. English. But it doesn’t matter that Aramaic is in the first position, because since Spanish is set as the default language in Plex, it selects track 2 (Spanish). I want Aramaic to be the default for this specific movie.

As I said:
You cannot override the user’s language preferences.

I’ve already figured out what can and can’t be done. Don’t you get it? I want a feature implemented so that for a specific movie, the server owner can choose the default language.
