1 month ago I always asked myself why video, audio and subtitle compatibility fallback isn't already a thing in Plex. Would be nice to have a similar feature for subs where if for example vob_subs or ass subs aren't supported fall back to srt. But there would have to be two checks, the first would have to be does a fall back option exist for the preferred language (if I select English audio/subs does 2.0 English audio or srt English subs exist?), if not then I'd prefer to transcode, if true then is the next track compatible? If so then fall back to compatible track.
I'm not sure if this is possible, but it'd be nice to have replex auto select appropriate audio tracks (similar to 4K or 1080p depending on the screen resolution) based upon the clients capabilities. Optimally it would still let audio be transcoded, but if it's doing so from 5.1 to 2.0 and there's a 2.0 track available it would auto select the 2.0 track.
