Hi, I have a situation where I have a tv show in two different languages. One is original the other is dubbed. The dubbed episodes are cut differently than the original, so muxing the audio tracks together and use the original video track in an mkv file is impossible.

Is there a way to switch not only between the audio tracks in jellyfin but to also switch the video track with the audio? Like, I create an mkv file with both video and audio tracks. When I then switch the audio language in jellyfin it should also load the corresponding video track from the mkv file.

For example, VLC player can switch between the different video tracks.

I don't think so.

But you can have multiple versions of the same piece of media, and there will be selector to switch between them.

So you don't need to put both versions into a single file for things to work.

this only works with movies. As far as I tried it does not work with tv show episodes. I gave both video files the same name with different language tags:

  • TV Show S01E01 [English].mp4
  • TV Show S01E01 [German].mp4

All it does is show the Episode twice in the episode list. One with the correct name and description and one with just the file name and no description.

Plus you can't just watch a season of a tv show because the episodes would be played one by one. One time for each language.

If it just language add the audio track to one of the mkvs. Ignore me I see your episodes are different cuts.
