Currently if you have a movie with multiple audio tracks or multiple subtitles that are the same language there’s no way to differentiate between them, as Plex doesn’t display the embedded information, just the language. For example for a movie you might have the standard audio track, a commentar…

I would VERY much like to see ANY sort of code update that would allow me to differentiate between different audio tracks… Whether it’s reading metadata from the file, or even a way to manually comment. Anything is better than blindly picking. I usually rip every English track, as well as the “na…

Really? Seeing that is requested since 2014 makes me mad. It’s a shame. -_-

More than 5 years old and still no outcome… Can’t believe that ! ‘Name’ information are in the header of video files, just as the ‘language’ param (which is read and displayed)… Hey you people, VOTE for this thread, maybe could help to move forward !?

Just ripped some Blu-Rays and choosing the correct subtitles for each language/the correct audio track for commentary is a pain. Would be nice for some movement on this feature.

It looks like the Title and Display Title are swapped in the media info panel. Title contains the customized track names and Display Title contains the default track titles. Hope this helps. Seems like this has been a real stumper.

It’s been five years in requesting this, plex, and it’s becoming easier for idiots like me to be able to rename the tracks to something we want. Handbrake has even fixed this in their software so when you convert files, names come over. When can we expect this to be implemented?

Bump. Is this being worked on at all?

Add another vote from a Plex Pass user that desperately wants to be able to see the title of my alternate audio tracks that I’ve ripped and labeled.

This is now a feature in my custom client, Plex-MPV-Shim. You can access an option from the menu and it will show the full names of audio and video tracks.
