Update: It works fine IF the mkv is the first one alphabetically. Where before, selecting the mkv when it wasn't the first one would result in video stats not displaying, but now they do. And it doesn't break anymore. But it would be nice to default to a lower quality, I did this intentionally.

I tried looking at the logs myself and was comparing the ffmpeg logs for when the version did and didn't share a title. I noticed that the transcoding was different.
Transcoding without multi-versioned title:
Transcoding with multi-versioned title:
It looks like both video and audio are being transcoded differently. Idk what really any of this means except for 5.1. I did a quick google search and chrome doesn't support 5.1 audio so maybe thats the reason for this case? I have a feeling that the problem is deeper than simply this though. But i did go through a few other mkv movies, and so far the ones that have stereo sound don't have this problem, but ones with 5.1 sound do.
