Hi guys, hope you can help.
How do you change the audio stream jriver selects when there is more than one stream? I can change when playing a file using right click, streams, picking stream. However is there a way to change this for multiple files prior to watching so jriver always defaults for those files to the selected stream? I have a tv series with two language tracks for each episode and the first jriver defaults to is not English. I can't see a tag or any other way to do this?
Thanks in advance
Ps I also have a dedicated audio setup run from a pc and the music playback quality, both normal and HD files has significantly improved between jriver version 20 and 22. I don't know what you did but it is a very significant improvement between the two versions, like an expensive upgrade to a DAC! Thanks.

There's no directly supported way to do this that I know of. But there is a sort of hack you can apply in some situations. I have pretty much no experience with it. Do a search if you want more info. Here's the info: There's an MC field called [Playback Info]. If you display this field for a file that you've *already* selected the correct stream for, you can copy this information and paste it into a similar file. Because these are all episodes of the same series, this might work for all of them. Give it a try on one or two files as an experiment and see.

Hi bigentry
Just to let you know that the hack worked perfectly. I copied the corrected field and applied it, after testing, to 253 files and they now correctly play English! Thanks very much for helping :D
