Changing default live tv audio stream (eng) in Kodi - neild7744 - 2019-07-29

Hi,

Using Kodi 18.3 setup with DVBViewer I always used to have the option of playing a channel and going to 'audio settings' could select the audio stream for a live TV channel... i.e. (eng), (NAR)... etc for UK channels and for German channels I used to be able to watch MTV (ger) and re-select the stream to (eng).

Since coming back to Kodi recently (use to use Kodi versions 17.*) and setting everything up in 18.3, I have not got the option to change audio streams. This is not skin specific. I have tried playing about with the 'default language' in Kodi settings with no luck.

Ive re-chacked my DVBViewer TV server and all is setup correctly. In DVBViewer i can choose the audio stream I want. 

Im not sure why in Kodi 18.3 i am unable to select live TV audio streams? The menu option in Kodi is greyed out?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Ok... so I have no way to select any other audio streams not just on PVR, but for Movies & TV shows. Also installing Kodi 17.6 has not given me the option to select an audo stream... so do not think this is specific to the PVR.

Im not sure what im missing here?

Not sure if this will do what your looking for, but on Kodi 18.3 you could try going to:-
Settings>>>>Player>>>>Language

The  first option is 'Preferred Audio Language'. 
Think the option applies to both PVR and video libraries.

The option to change the audio stream from the OSD still works for me, as I just tested it on a couple of my channels. I'm using E2/VU+ PVR addon.

Make sure you have enabled Web/UPNP > Additional TV streams > All audio tracks in DMS settings: http://en.dvbviewer.tv/wiki/Recording_Service_Installation_Guide#Web.2FUPnP

Or just read the FAQ: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=221531&pid=1957396#pid1957396
