I can't change the audio track of multi-audio videos (mkv, avi, mp4). Can kaffeine devs give us this feature please? Thanks.
It's still impossible to change the audio track of multi-audio videos. :(
Created attachment 118611 [details] Kaffeine with the language selection for a multi-track mp4 Kaffeine does support multi-audio track mp4. You should notice that language selection for multi-audio videos is at the bottom of the window. See the image. It is the box I painted with green. There was however a bug with Vlc (maybe due to some changes at the library?): it was not allowing to change the language back. I'm pushing a fixup.

Pushed by mauroc into branch 'master'. backend-vlc: store current audio stream Store the new current audio stream after a change. Without that, it is not possible to change back to the first audio channel.

Weird. The box painted in green is greyed out here on Arch Linux. Tested avi, mp4 and mkv multi-audio videos.

Kaffeine strongly relies on libVlc to be able to detect multi-track videos. It could be due to some differences between the version you're using for vlc or because the track encoding is using something that libvlc won't properly detect. In my case, I'm using the open source Elefants Dream video from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLkA0RELQ1g As this video has only English, I downloaded also the Spanish version from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1L20Svw6sQ Extracted its audio channel and merged it to the main video with: $ ffmpeg -i Elephants_Dream_\(2006\).webm -i spanish.mp3 -map 0 -map 1 -metadata:s:a:1 language=spa elephants_dream.mp4

While addressing another bug, I found one issue at the logic that updates the metadata. Basically, up to 2.0.16, the audio channels are updated only for the first video. There are still some small things to work with, but I pushed some patches that should fix the issue. Please test.
I have just installed kaffeine-git on Arch Linux. Now i can select the audio track \o/ I noticed two issues: sometimes the tracks names are not entirely readable even when the dropdown is open; sometimes the dropdown seems empty when I open a file, despite the tracks are listed when I open the dropdwn and kaffeine plays the first track correctly I will post screenshots. Thanks Mauro.
