AudioLanguagePreference not respected

[fice-t]

Software Versions

• Jellyfin Server Version: 10.8.10
• Roku Client Version: 1.6.6

Describe the bug

"Preferred audio language" is set to English, yet on Roku it still plays audio track 1 by default (unless changed with * beforehand). The web UI handles it correctly for the same files.

How To Reproduce

1. In the web UI set "Preferred audio language" to English.
2. Add a .mkv video with a non-English audio track 1 and English track > 1.
3. Play the video.
4. Non-English audio track is being used.

Expected behavior

English audio track is being used if present.

Additional context

The relevant server setting is AudioLanguagePreference which jellyfin-roku on the surface appears to take into account. Are there any logs that I could check to find out more? Or perhaps some debug output could be added?

I don't know of any logs or debugging output that could help you but I just want to point out that the code you linked will always play the first audio track when the PlayDefaultAudioTrack user setting is set to true. In other words, AudioLanguagePreference will be ignored by design if PlayDefaultAudioTrack is set to true.

Right, I forgot to mention that PlayDefaultAudioTrack was also unchecked through the web UI. I also made sure to restart the server and re-install the client.

This was fixed a while ago... we just haven't released a new build yet...

There have been a few new builds since then, yet I am still experiencing this problem (as documented here).

Same issue here.

The issue seems still to persist on the latest version

[stephenshutters]

I’ve noticed that this issue only occurs (and always occurs) when the audio file is of a DTS-HD MA format. It seems that Roku can’t handle it, which is frustrating as h*eck, since half of my movies are remuxes with DTS-HD MA audio tracks.
