Can't switch audio tracks

[pgomez]

Hi everyone.

I've looking for this issue but I had no luck. Thing is I've been playing some mkv files in my 4th gen Apple TV through VLC app, and it works just fine, but it seems that i can't switch audio tracks. It only plays the first one available (some times the default audio track is "Disable" and I can't hear anything at all). I can choose my subtitles just fine but when selecting audio tracks it just doesn't do anything. Of course, audio tracks are switching fine in my computer. Is this a known issue? Anything I'm doing wrong? Is there a way to change the default audio track for each file? That —I think— will solve the problem partially.

Thank you all.

Same problem here with audiotrack selection of mkv's. I also use a 4th gen Apple TV and connected to my Synology using SMB.

Just updated VLC app, same problem remains.

Is it with the 1.0.3 release of VLC for Apple TV?

[pgomez]

Yep. That's it. 1.0.3. It happened as well with the previous version.

[fkuehne]

OK, will look into it for 1.0.5

[pgomez]

Hi guys. Just FYI, I just tried 1.0.5 and still happening.

Thanks.

It behaved absolutely correctly in my tests. Can you give more details?

OK, so I'm using Yosemite (10.10.5) in my iMac and VLC for tvOS 1.0.5. I select one of my mkv files with VLC in my Apple TV and play it. Now, I try to switch audio tracks, selecting a different language, but nothing happens. When switching subtitles, it works just fine. If I open the video in my computer with VLC, I'm able to switch audio tracks. Using VLC for tvOS I just get the default audio track. Sorry If this info is not enough, I'm not sure what you need. Please let me know. And thank you again!!

Same problem, any fixes? This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING. I have a brand new computer and no other users of these files report the same issues.

Note that this is about an issue on VLC for AppleTV, not on a computer.
