    According to https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server...rnal-files external audio files should still work in 10.9.6. However, it seems it doesn't, at least not here.
    Has anyone else got this issue or is this something I should first try to nail down locally in more detail?

    Exactly as described in the link and the way I've been doing it for the past maybe two years or so with 10.8.13.
    From your reply, I take it you've tried it and it did indeed work for you?

    It's probably a caching issue. I added another language by copying a random audio file with a different extension in the same folder, renamed it, and miraculously both, the new .ac3 and the previous .dts audio now show up as selectable audio tracks in the browser.

    Yes, it is this cache bug in 10.9.

    I usually got two (Firefox) browser windows open. One logged in as admin and one as a normal user. If you search for a film in the window as a user and open its info page, then change something like adding an audio track before scanning the library or edit metadata for that film, it won't update.

    If you press the home button and search for the film again to view its info page, nothing has changed. I have no idea how to reliably update the view.
