VLC 3.0.10 - ignore Description of Audio-Track Language

Postby #thweiss » 10 Jun 2020 11:06

HLS-Video Example with three Audio-Tracks (1. English Commentary, 2. English and 3. Spanish)
http://cdn.theoplayer.com/video/elephants-dream/playlist.m3u8

I konvert the HLS-Video with the Profile "Video H.264 + MP3 (MP4)" and changed the Audio-Profil to original Audio-Tracks.

The saved HLS-Video has three Audio-Tracks, but all Audio-Tracks including the spanish (Track 3) are named as "english" in the VLC-Player 3.0.10 (64-Bit) under Windows 10.
1) In the Menu / Audio / Audio-Track / Track 1 to Track 3 are all English Language marked, but Audio-Track 3 is Spanish!

2) In the Menu / Tools / Codec Information / View are all Streams with English Language marked, but one Audio-Track is Spanish!

The HLS-Index-File

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U #EXT-X-VERSION:3 #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="subs",NAME="Chinese",FORCED=NO,AUTOSELECT=YES,URI="chinese/ed.ttml",LANGUAGE="zho" #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=SUBTITLES,GROUP-ID="subs",NAME="French",FORCED=NO,AUTOSELECT=YES,URI="french/ed.ttml",LANGUAGE="fra" #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="aac",LANGUAGE="en",NAME="English",DEFAULT=YES,AUTOSELECT=YES,URI="en/chunklist_w370587926_b160000_ao_slen_t64RW5nbGlzaA==.m3u8" #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="aac",LANGUAGE="sp",NAME="Spanish",DEFAULT=NO,AUTOSELECT=YES,URI="sp/chunklist_w370587926_b160000_ao_slsp_t64U3BhbmlzaA==.m3u8" #EXT-X-MEDIA:TYPE=AUDIO,GROUP-ID="aac",LANGUAGE="en",NAME="Commentary (eng)",DEFAULT=NO,AUTOSELECT=NO,URI="com/chunklist_w370587926_b160000_ao_slen_t64Q29tbWVudGFyeSAoZW5nKQ==.m3u8" #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=2962000,NAME="High",CODECS="avc1.66.30",RESOLUTION=1280x720,AUDIO="aac",SUBTITLES="subs" 1280/chunklist_w370587926_b2962000_vo_slen_t64TWFpbg==.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=1427000,NAME="Medium",CODECS="avc1.66.30",RESOLUTION=768x432,AUDIO="aac",SUBTITLES="subs" 768/chunklist_w370587926_b1427000_vo_slen_t64TWFpbg==.m3u8 #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=688000,NAME="Low",CODECS="avc1.66.30",RESOLUTION=448x252,AUDIO="aac",SUBTITLES="subs" 448/chunklist_w370587926_b688000_vo_slen_t64TWFpbg==.m3u8

Hope, someone has a Solution to record the right Language Name for the Audio-Tracks in the Video Metadata.
