Hi guys,

I guess this is a rather uncommon issue:

I got a MKV from 1955s movie "It came from beneath the sea" which contains both black and white and colored version inside one MKV.

And two audio tracks.

Though emby does see the two video streams, I cannot select the second one.

maybe this is of interest for somebody....

 

bye Michael

I think has been asked and answered before - Emby will only play the first video stream.

To play the 2nd stream, the easiest way is to extract/remux the 2nd video stream into a new mkv.  Or just copy it, rename and then remove the first video stream.  Mkvtoolnix will do this with ease. 

If you keep the files in the same directory, same name but append a '- colour.mkv' and '- black&white.mkv' onto the end of the filenames, then they will be grouped together and you can pick which version you then would like to play. :)
