Set language/subtitles for complete series

It would be nice if you could set a manual language selection for a whole TV-show.

Some of my tv shows have dual audio tracks (original + English)

My problem:
I have the default language set to English[1], which is what I prefer for most content.
But: For some[2] series I really prefer the original audio+English subtitles.
This means that when watching the show, I have to change the language at the start of every new episode.

It would be nice if it was possible to select a non-default language for a complete series, something like this:


The default option for all three would be “Library default”

Even just the possibility to change this for multiple selected items (instead of only one at a time, while playing) would be nice.

[1] I have these Audio & Subtitle settings: (which works great most of the time)
Automatically select audio and subtitle tracks: yes
Preferred audio language: English
Preferred subtitle language: English
Auto-select subtitle mode: Shown with foreign audio
[2] Only a few: basically when the English dub is pretty bad

This setting should be in my opinion on user base too
e.g. each PLEX home user can set a preferenced language for a series.
