Language of audio tracks produced with makeMKV are not recognized with XBMC

Hi,

i produced a mkv file with makemkv from a DVD. Playing the mkv with mediaplayer classics and VLC shows the language of the audio track.
XBMC does not.

Producing the MKV with mkvmerge from the MKVToolnix: XBMC, VLC and media player classics are able to show the language of the audio track.

Producing the MKV with handbrake: all (XBMC, VLC and media player classics) are able to show the language of the audio track.

mkvmerge from toolnix (identically to handbrake):

Forced                                   : No

The difference is
Title : Surround 5.1

Is this is a misinterpreting from XBMC or a wrong produced outputfile from makeMKV? Does anyone have some experiences with the specification?

If you set the track title in mkvmerge (or mkvmerge GUI), can XBMC still show the audio track language?

Good idea!

The answer is: After setting the the track itle in mkvmerge GUI, XBMC does no show the track language any more.

Thank you, i will have a look at the XBMC forum
