#103 MKV with multiple languages

[Mathieu Malaterre]

I am using Freebox V5 / UPnP Client to stream an mkv movie. However
this particular client is assuming a single language per film (i
assumes so). It is currently failing to send any sound at all with the
following mkv (meta info) [*]

It would be very nice to have a feature in minidlna to specify a
single language and pick an arbitrary one (based on $LANG and/or
minidlna.conf) for sending meta data.

Thanks

You can close this ticket, after trial and error the same movie does not play even with additional languages removed.
