Scott310 137 Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Hey Guys, I noticed in the newest update of Emby Theater that there is an audio and Subtitles Picker now on the main movie detail page. Great work! It's nice to be able to pick that before actually starting the movie. However The audio picker in particular is using the file name of the audio instead of what it actually scanned as. For people who encoded their audio files with the right file names this probably has no effect on you. But some of my file names are not labeled as AC3, AAC, or DTS. The theater used to only display them as what the scan determined they were. Could we maybe add an option to choose either the scan result or the audio file name? Some of mine are ridiculously long and are ugly up on screen. I attached a photo so you see what I mean. Thanks! Sorry if the photo is sideways...

If they are mkv files obviously... Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

I have thousands of files...I don't know of a way to batch this off hand but I'm sure it exists. However the process does not require any reencoding or remuxing... Edit your track name and hit save, refresh in Emby and you're done. I have thousands of files as well and went through them with this tool a couple of times already and survived.

Scott310 137 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Ugh... I would really like to be able to avoid having to do that but I will if I have to. It was just fine when it didn't use the file name of the audio file. Edited November 10, 2017 by Scott310
Rayger 14 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) I too am having this issue with ugly output from the track names. It would be a great undertaking to rename all of the tracks. MKV tools still take a long time to edit even with simple edits. To be honest, I don't really have a need for track-picking prior to viewing the file. I would like this feature to be an option only.

MndWrp 101 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 I found this, wich is part of the mkvtoolnix toolset. https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/mkvpropedit.html# It's a bit complicated but if you can setup a basic command line you can pretty much batch it to at the very least remove the awkward track names and let Emby assign auto track names upon a refresh.

I agree. I really don't have much need for it either. I thought some people might. For me it just takes up more space on the detail screen. If I had to choose between editing the file names of 80% of my audio files and getting rid of the feature all together I would choose the latter.
MndWrp 101 Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Having already reworked all my files, i think it's a great feature but having the option to turn it off seems like a good idea. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk
Scott310 137 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Just opened emby theater for PC and it looks like the feature has been removed for now. Hopefully that makes its way to xbox... Edited November 10, 2017 by Scott310
Rayger 14 Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Yes, it looks like it is displaying the type of audio rather than the audio title. This looks way better now. Thank you. On a side note, if this feature is going to stay, it is impossible to get to the subtitle picker with a remote due to the location of the option. Edited November 11, 2017 by nnylray
Scott310 137 Posted November 12, 2017 Author Posted November 12, 2017 Just opened Emby theater for PC this morning and it is back to showing the title of the audio and video file now. No change on Xbox either. Ugh... just when things were working perfectly the way you want them lol
Scott310 137 Posted November 12, 2017 Author Posted November 12, 2017 @@Luke after seeing this is there any chance of adding an option for either using the scan result or file name? I would just like to know before I end up having to go through and clean up a few thousand file names... Which I will do if I have to. I also think there are probably a lot of users who may not take the time or don't know how to do this. Thanks in advance for having a look at this.
FrostByte 5392 Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) I prefer neither one. The "Name" field in the header information please. That's what it's there for to put things like "Commentary", etc. If the header information is blank then it can default to scanned media info results. This is how it was working. Edit: I definitely don't want to see the filename in there Too long and means nothing unless you want to rename all your files with mediainfo in it. Edited November 12, 2017 by FrostByte 3
Scott310 137 Posted November 14, 2017 Author Posted November 14, 2017 Is anyone from DEV team gonna weigh in on this? Sorry but I would just like to know if this will be changed or if its gonna stay before I start going through thousands of files @@Luke
