There are multiple ways this could be achived, but as it stands I think there is absolutely no way to do this in jellyfin. I have two versions of a movie at different resolutions and bitrate. They use the same audio and subtitles (seperate files) since they are otherwise identical.
My first attempt to sort this in was make a mkv file that stores both video tracks and all audio and subtitle tracks, but unfortunately jellyfin doesnt support multiple video streams in a single mkv. Instead the intended way is to have seperate files for the different "versions" (even though in my case only the resolution and bitrate differs). Making seperate video streams with labels as is intended movie - 720p.mp4 and movie 1080p.mp4 works, but to avoid having to store audio and subtitles twice I also made them seperate files, movie.srt and movie.m4a but this way both subtitles and audio are not being found for either video files. I can take the label off of one to match srt and m4a files: movie - 1080p.mp4 -> movie.mp4
This way the 1080p video works with m4a and srt but the 720p stream still gets nothing. Is there no way to achieve two video streams of the same movie without having to store audio and subtitles twice??
I've been going insane trying to get this to work
