AndroidTV Audio/Subtitle section before playback - Perseverant - 2023-12-19
Hey folks! Being able to select audio/subtitles prior to playback would be a really nice quality of life feature. On the AndroidTV client there are times I play something, then change the audio track, then have to rewind because part of the alternate audio track has already played. It's a minor inconvenience, but from a workflow perspective I think it makes sense to choose audio/subs prior to playback just like you would if you were playing from a DVD/Bluray disc.
It looks like there is already a Fider along the lines of this: https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/595/android-tv-audio-stream-pre-selection-like-in-normal-android
Maybe this one's already in the works? If it's not, I hope it can be added to the next release. Thanks for reading!

I can't find the GitHub issue for it right now (I thought there was one..) but this is not possible with our current playback code.
Fortunately I'm working on rewriting it (already in use for music with 0.16!). After the video playback is ready for general use we can start adding new features like this one more easily. It will need some UI changes though.

Thanks, Niels, for your response to this and the other thread. Exciting things to come!
