PCM (Stereo) Track Naming Issue - JANONYMOUS - 2024-12-17
Hi,
I usually only enter the language name for audio tracks via MKVToolNix, e.g., "English," since Jellyfin will display all the information automatically, which makes any more custom text redundant. This will result in something like this: English - Dolby Digital - 5.1 or English - Dolby Digital - Stereo.
Today I added a movie that came with an additional PCM track. I gave it the same treatment and only entered the language name. Unfortunately that resulted in the following: English - PCM_S16LE - 2 ch. And while not wrong per se, I was actually hoping for something more human-readable.
Is this a bug or just something that hasn't been addressed yet?
Thanks much.

It's not a bug; that's the intended format. You may also encounter the following formats:
- PCM_ALAW
- PCM_MULAW
- PCM_S16LE
- PCM_S20LE
- PCM_S24LE

I appreciate your response. I'm aware of the various formats. But wouldn't you agree that it looks better without underscores and spelled out correctly, just like with all the other audio formats. It's not a big issue but still wondering.
