HI,
MKV: the language of an audio track is not recognized from XBMC, if a title is set for this audio track.
I think this is a bug, can anyone confirm this?
I don't understand the issue. Can you elaborate?
i have an mkv produced with makeMKV. if i choose an audio track with VLC and media player classic i was able to see the language of the audio track (e.g. german or english).
Or more exactly, i have this:
Output from mediainfo:
Audio #1
ID : 2
Format : AC-3
Format/Info : Audio Coding 3
Mode extension : CM (complete main)
Format settings, Endianness : Big
Codec ID : A_AC3
Duration : 1h 31mn
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 448 Kbps
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Channel positions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz
Bit depth : 16 bits
Compression mode : Lossy
Stream size : 292 MiB (8%)
Title : Surround 5.1
Language : German
Default : Yes
Forced : No
Title should be the same as track name in toolnix/mergeMkv
With VLC i see:
title - [language]
in this special case:
Surround 5.1 - [german]
with xbmc i see (no language):
Surround 5.1 - AC3 5.1
If i set the track name in toolnix/mergeMkv to an empty string, vlc says:
title 1 - [german]
xbmc:
German - AC3 5.1
so if the track name/title of the audio track is set, XBMC shows it instead of the language. So the language is not displayed any more..
i tried to reproduce the problem using handbrake.
Audio->Show Advanced->Track Name
But handbrake does not insert the track name into the mkv file (i checked this with mediinfo and mkvinfo), so i am no able to repdroduce it in this way.
But, if i add a track name with MKVtoolnix/MKVMerge (Gui) to the file handbrake produced, XBMC does not show the language of the audio track any more.
Ah, I see. Nice catch. Can you report this on our bugtracker site:
http://trac.xbmc.org ? Just use your same forum username and password and say what you've said here, and then we can use that trac ticket to notify specific developers of the bug.

You filled in Frodo as version. We do not support/fix anything any more for that version.
Only Gotham 13.0 and up.
Is there anything i should do now (after is was set to Gotham 13.0)?
You should be good now, as the ticket is open again. You might not get a response right away, but hopefully as people have time, someone will be able to look into it.
It might help if you supplied a mkv sample showing the problem, you can use MKVtoolnix to generate the sample, just make sure it's long enough to show issue e.g. 5 min and not too big e.g. ideally less than 100mb. Upload to a file share site that requires no log in details or user account to download the sample, for example Google Drive, Dropbox, MS OneDrive.

I attached the examples to the ticket.
Thanks for doing that, it goes a long to making life easier for the dev's in trying to replicate if they have a sample that should show the issue the user is having.
