Set preferred or default audio for videos

@leelynds you made some very valid points, thank you! I’ve updated my original post accordingly. I’m not sure if I’m making things better or worse :sob:. Would you and @jantjo take a look and give me feedback?

Alternatively, we scrap the whole thing and keep both of these threads. Lol

I waited for the Android TV update today before I posted, just in case something miraculous happened. A screenshot from the app, the video has never been played, so options for audio and subtitles are all default.

The thing that bugs me the most, the Android app clearly indicates that there is a better choice for audio, but auto-selects the stereo track. There has to be some logic that is applied to the pre-play screen that knows the best selection should be the AC3 surround audio, but that logic is ignored in the auto-selection for the audio. The video has a stereo AAC as the first track, and a AC3 surround second audio track. It happens to be an MKV, with the AC3 track set as the default (I know Plex ignores the default flags in MKV files)
