As I rip some of my personal Blu-Ray discs for use on my Plex server I’m presented with many audio options: -TrueHD 7.1 -DD Surround 5.1 English -DD Surround 5.1 Spanish -DD Surround 5.1 French -DD Stereo English -DD Stereo English (yes listed twice for some reason) -6 subtitle tracks (forced not forced and different languages) Also, I have the option to name these audio tracks but this does not seem to show up in any players… I wanted to quickly see the impact of these decisions in the player but I cannot see this easily, might you have some suggestions? In the old days I could use Quicktime Player via Mac but this software dies not like my MKV files. VLC does not show the data so I was trying to use Plex but I don’t fully comprehend Plex just yet. I appreciate your help–thanks! Robert ---

Showing the track titles in the Plex clients is a long standing feature request. (One of) the stereo tracks could be - containing audio commentaries - ‘audio description’ track for visually impaired persons - simply a stereo mixdown for compatibility reasons The best way to determine which it could be is to examine the cover of the Blu-ray. Desktop players who allow you to switch those tracks quickly during playback would be VLC and MPC-HC (Windows only). You can use these to determine which is which. I recommend you to name those tracks anyway. You will be able to see the names when looking at the Plex media info. ---

Okay, I’ll look at VLC once again. I did not notice a way to view or select the various audio options. Also this renaming that you mention where will I be doing that renaming? Where/how best practices…? Thanks, Robert ---

I just bought MakeMKV but this tool you mention looks like a way to dial in the resulting MKV for optimal results with any server such as Plex. ---

“Bought”? AFAIK this tool is free to use. Paying is not mandatory. And yes, is not specifically made for Plex. ---
