I have seen this same issue, or very similar. I believe its happened mostly on MKV files, where you go to change the track and it will not be able to change to the English track from whatever language its on, same video in Plex plays correctly right away. But picking either of the visible tracks in Jellyfin causes the same incorrect track to play.
I have this issue sometimes. I select the other audio track and it just won't switch. then after multiple tries it suddenly works. other times it works directly (same tv show) also it does not remember the setting. if I pause the movie and the screensaver kicks in, the movie resumes with the original audio track again. but once it worked once, it seems to work consistently afterwards to switch the track. (fire TV 4k 0.11.5 + docker server)
I also have this problem. It's really difficult to change the voice language in every anime chapter.
I've seen this also on my NVIDIA shield. The file I was trying to play had a default regular sound track and an extra director's commentary track. When I clicked play in Jellyfin, it started playing the directors commentary, and to get it to play the main audio track, I had to select the director's commentary track.
I tried to repeat it again on the same file, and now the issue is not occurring.

This is still an issue when using ExoPlayer. libVLC doesn't have the same problem for me, but other issues with libVLC (specifically that playback consistently freezes after 4 minutes) prevent that from being a viable option for me :/
In my experience, this happens when the default audio track is DTS-HD with a secondary AC3 audio track (similar to OP where the default track is DTS and the second track is a more widely supported codec). With this combination, ExoPlayer always chooses to play the second track, but unfortunately in these cases the second track is director/cast commentary.

I'm using jellyfin on Shield TV Pro and I'm not able to choose the audio track while playing. Is this a bug being addressed?
I was evaluating moving from Plex to Jellyfin, I prefer Jellyfin for many aspects, but I noticed a lot of issues on the client side, with NVIDIA Shields specifically (I have one in every room).
Hope these basic issues will be solved...can't move from Plex until I can't even reproduce an mkv file.
I'm also having this issue. Pretty much as described.
Edit: Seems to be related to which ever track is set as "default" and the page loading/reloading and Jellyfin not remembering what option was picked, so it goes with which ever is set as default.
My prefered audio language is set to English in the settings as well, but that doesn't seem to have any effect on anything at all.
Same problem here :(
as orginal reporter of the bug, the problem vanished since I started using version 0.12. I don't know if I should close the bug or not. they are "me too" comments but there is no enough details to say if this is the same bug or not
Could #1732 have fixed this issue? I can't recall seeing it in a while, but that issue appears to potentially fix this issue?
I do seem to experience the same bug. When a movie is directly played to Jellyfin ("jellyfin-androidtv 0.13.6 release" (installed today)) my FireTV-Stick (3rd Gen; model no. "AFTSSS") the audio track selection does not work as intended. I do have a movie containing three audio tracks as follows (as presented by Jellyfin):
When the file is directly played the resulting audio tracks are as follows:
Note the absence of the third option from above (the audio commentary)
The issue does not seem to occur when the movie is being transcoded (in my case when I do select subtitles as they have to be burned in).
I can provide more information if needed.
Update: I've switched to libVLC
(instead of ExoPlayer
). With it everything works as intended. I can even directly play files with subtitles.
Describe the bug I wanted to view a movie which has 2 sound tracks (french and english) in french and whatever track I select in the android tv UI the movie plays in english. When I play the same movie from my browser the movie is played in french.
To Reproduce
Not sure I have a 100% reproducble procedure.
Expected behavior Be able to play the sound track I want.
