justinrh 174 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I have some videos that contain multiple video tracks, but the Emby clients don't allow selection. They do for multiple audio tracks. Is there a way to enable this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Luke 36884 Posted January 24, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 24, 2023 Hi, correct. There's no way to select a specific video track at this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbjtech 4170 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 The 2nd Video track is also highly likely to be a dual layer dv7 Dolby Vision Track - it is not a 1080p version of the same file. To convert to a single layer (playable) DV file - you need to run it through makemkv etc to merge the layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinrh 174 Posted January 24, 2023 Author Share Posted January 24, 2023 Interesting. Merge? Are you saying the first track depends on the second to give the designed experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying the first track depends on the second to give the designed experience? The first track will give HDR10, the 2nd track is the DV 'layer' which then enhances the first if you have DV capabilities. Only hardware players can read the 2nd track (in parallel to the first) so tools like makemkv have devised a way to combine them into a single track - thus you get a dv7 profile file with both HDR10 and DV attributes from any software based player.
