Hi everyone,
I’m still new to Jellyfin, and getting everything set up on SamsungTV has been a bit of a challenge for me. It actually took me two tries to get Jellyfin installed and working with Tizen on my Samsung TV, it was quite difficult for me. I’ve tried everything I can think of, including looking at similar forum posts online, but nothing has helped me solve this issue.
Setup:
When watching movies with multiple audio tracks (e.g., English, German and Japanese) on my Samsung TV, I can usually only select the first audio track. Switching the language is either impossible or only works sometimes. Often only if I enable subtitles, which I’d prefer to avoid. I can change the language in the menu before the movie starts or while the movie is playing, but nothing happens, it still plays in the first language the movie happens to be in.
On other devices, such as my PC (via browser) or Android app, language switching works without any problems. However, when I cast from my phone to the Samsung TV, the same issue occurs: I can only use the first audio track.
What I’ve Tried So Far:

Setup:
- Jellyfin Server Version: 10.10.3
- Running on: Synology NAS DS224+
- Client: Samsung Smart TV (Tizen, Jellyfin App)
- Other Clients: Win 10 PC (Browser), Android App (Mobile)

What I’ve Tried So Far:
- Adjusted default audio and subtitle settings in the user preferences on the server.
- Tested several movies with multiple audio tracks and subs.
- Checked transcoding options, but Direct Play seems to be active on the TV.
- Is this a known issue with the Jellyfin Tizen app?
- Are there specific settings I need to adjust to make language switching work properly on the Samsung TV?
- Should I force transcoding, and if so, how can I correctly set this up on my Synology NAS?
