Audio track language no longer showing

[rbjtech 5284]

ok understood.  Is there any reason for the single version why you don't just modify the video title - ie 'The Hangover [Theatrical Version]' ?  This will then show up without need the embedded titles ?  

This is what I see if I modify the original Title.

It's probably a bit over the top I agree .. but functional .. If only there was a 'version' field ....

@Happy2Play  It only shows if you do not prefer embedded titles in the Advanced Library settings.  If you use embedded titles, it doesn't show the language in front of the name field like it used to.

Correct so you are saying your embedded title are not displaying as you assigned them in the tracks title, as Emby will just present the track title header from the file itself per the "Embedded track title display" setting?  If so can you provide a example.

What Emby shows and what mkvtoolnix shows.

@rbjtech  I did what you suggested at first, but I don't want to modify the name of the movie.  It's just the version.  Then when you are flipping through the list, you will see Movie name [Version] in some cases and not when there are multiple versions.  My solution albeit hacky worked great for me with the limitations of Emby since they wouldn't add the Version field to the display unless you had multiple versions.

 

@Happy2Play  I provided an example earlier.  The upshot is that the rules have changed.  Before if you used embedded titles, your audio track would appear as [Language] [Name].  Now it is just [Name].  The rules have changed and now many people will have to modify thousands of files to prepend the Language to the Name tag to get what they need to see if the display.

Yep - I get that - but this raises the question why they felt the need to do this in the first place ?    Why not correct those deficiencies - then they would not have to hand craft the title ...

I'm not correcting deficiencies when I use the title tag to provide a title for my embedded audio tracks according to the mkv spec.

Asking Emby to display that meaningful title doesn't mean I don't want to see the language tag for a given embedded audio track.

Okay I see it now after testing 4.5 and 4.6, where previous example did not provide any information to me.

Prefer Embedded Title

4.5

4.6

This just bit me too. I was using embedded titles to describe what each track was, with the language properly tagged in the MKV. Now I can't tell what language I am going to get for the audio or subtitles in advance!

I have over 800 movies and near 10,000 episodes of TV, all formatted this way. I really hope I don't have to go and edit every single file to put the language (redundantly!) in the track title.

Is there any chance the old behavior can be an option we can re-enable? Editing 10k MKV files with 2-10 tracks each is not plausible for me.
