Today, when syncing medias, Plex will sync only the main audio track and subtitle (as configured on the server or directly on the media), with the subtitles (if present) will be embedded in the video.
I think it will be great to have Plex sync all audio and subtitles tracks if the user chooses so.
It will be more than usefull in the cases where the audio / subtitles tracks are wrongly tagged (for example the English language tagged as Chinese, so the server will sync the wrong audio / subtitle track) or in case we want to change it while watching.
that would be great. I had the same problem when I went on vacation. I had synced several movies to my iPad with the Dutch subtitle active, but some of those movies had an embedded Dutch subtitle and I couldn't remove the extra subtitle...
This really has been bothering me, as well. I guess for native English speakers, this doesn’t seem important at all, but for the rest of us it definitely is! Almost all of my media is dual language and depending on how complicated the context of the media is, I sometimes want to turn on English subtitles or even switch audio. Unfortunately, this is not possible with Mobile Sync.
For development, I can see why subtitles are next to impossible to conquer for this, because a lot of clients need transcoding once subtitles come into play, due to the lack of subtitle support; but multiple audio tracks are supported by every client, right? So that should be fairly easy to implement and would be a great improvement for Mobile Sync for many of us.
I’d appreciate a developer’s take on this.
