Choosing TV series quality doesn't work

[shadow82]

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.

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?
