Choosing TV series quality doesn't work - shadow82 - 2025-01-12
Hi!
Recently I got 3 quality versions of a TV series: 720p, 1080p, 2160p.
I named the video files respectively as follows:
TV Series X - S02E01 - 720.mkv
TV Series X - S02E01 - 1080p.mkv
TV Series X - S02E01 - 2160p.mkv
Next I merged versions - to have 3 options to choose
It looks good in the menu:

But when I choose a version and play the video (clicking the video thumbnail below the list), it opens me the first available (720p) version. Always

This works correctly only when I hit play on the right button. But this plays the episode I was on and I want to be able to choose TV series version and play the episode I want from the list.
My setup:
Docker based Jellyfin 10.10.3
Docker: 27.4.1
Docker Compose version v2.32.1
Ubuntu 24.04

I'm not sure what you mean by "video thumbnail below the list". I don't have a thumbnail below the version selection in mine.

I mean I have 2 TV Series types in my library. One English version with subtitles, 2nd - with Polish lector.
When I choose desired version clicking next on an episode (lower on any thumbnail) gets me to English subtitles version - no matter if I choose it or not.
When I click play button on the right - it plays chosen version, but from the moment I left.

So I have no option to watch any desired TV Serie episode - I can watch one with desired audio language, but only from the moment I left or I can watch any I need - but only with English subtitled version (probably cause it's 1st on the list)

It looks like this is a long running issue with the merge versions plugin.
https://github.com/danieladov/jellyfin-plugin-mergeversions/issues/47
Jellyfin server, not the plugin, arbitrarily decides that one of the two versions is the "default". In my testing which one it picks is not consistent.
Is there a reason you have separate versions for each language instead of having multiple audio and subtitle tracks?
