Edit Audio codec - kalemvar - 2024-02-14

Hello,

I'm strugging with this situation and don't know what to do : my video file has 2 audio tracks listed as this :

English - Dolby Digital+ - Stereo - Default
French - Dolby Digital+ - Fre - Stereo - Default

1) is there a way to remove the "Fre" from by second audio
2) I already ask in the most long time ago, is it possible to change the "Dolby Digital+" to "EAC-3 or DD+ or something chose" ? Dolby Digital+ is pretty long name and the esthetic behind that isn't clean like others Codecs like "AC3, AAC, DTS, DTS-HD" that are naturally see by Jellyfin. Ultimately something like that would be ideal "English - EAC-3 - Stereo - Default"

Thanks for your help

afaik that's the actual track title in your video file and you will have to use mkvpropedit from mkvtoolnix to edit that

As what @tmsrxzar said, you'll have to use MKVToolNix: https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html
The mkvpropedit file will be installed in the same folder as where you install mkvtoolnix. You'll need to use the command line/command prompt to use it though.
If that's too complicated for you, mkvtoolnix also provides a GUI interface that will handle everything for you.

Jellyfin will detect what the language flag is set in the file properties.
It inserted "Fre" in there based on that flag.
I think you may be able to remove this if you use mkvtoolnix to remove the flag (and have that file not be linked to a specific language).

Though I do want to point out that for track naming on Jellyfin, everything before the first "-" is the actual name. Anything after that is populated by Jellyfin itself.
So from your examples:

English - Dolby Digital+ - Stereo - Default
French - Dolby Digital+ - Fre - Stereo - Default

The most you could change would be this:

<Your Track Name Here> - Dolby Digital+ - Stereo - Default
<Your Track Name Here> - Dolby Digital+ - Fre - Stereo - Default

Basically, both your examples have just the language name as the filename.
If you want "Dolby Digital+" to display as "DD+", you'll have to modify the Jellyfin source code yourself, then build and run that custom Jellyfin server.

Also, it looks like both audio tracks are set to default. Jellyfin will display which track is set with the default flag.
You can also change this with mkvtoolnix too.

Thanks for your reply @tmsrxzar & @Efficient_Good_5784

You guys think It would be possible to ask this as a request/add on/option to the group of coders of Jellyfin ?

RE: Edit Audio codec - Efficient_Good_5784 - 2024-02-28

You can make a feature request for Jellyfin over on this site: https://features.jellyfin.org/

It doesn't guarantee that the main developers will work on it though.
However, since people can upvote feature requests made on that site, developers/contributors can see what the community wants most as new features and focus their free time on those.
