Feature Request: Auto Select Specific Languages In "Select Tracks" Dialogue

Issue #679 open
Mari Marasu created an issue

Can we get a Preferences setting that auto-selects specific languages that the user checks off in Preferences? Can this setting also include a language option for "Unknown Language", as most Video Tracks don't have a language set.

I always remove all non-english tracks and subtitles from my files when importing, so this would be a huge time saver.

    I created a feature in a new pull request that allows you to select which track you’d like selected as default playback in the queue. It’s in the github version of the repo: github.com/SublerApp/. I haven’t tested it in conjunction with the “Fix Audio Tracks” feature that will label an unknown track as the selected language, but I believe my feature executes after that one, and so if you select “English” for the unknown audio and use my code to automatically select audio and subtitles labeled with “English”, that should solve your issue.

    @Damiano Galassi Just checked out 1.8. Great new addition to the queue here, but this addition isn't quite what I was looking for.

    I was looking for something that would automatically check or uncheck streams of a file upon opening the file in an individual window. The goal being that unselected/undesired language streams are never imported into the file in the first place. Your solution simply disables non-selected-languages, but still included them in the file, and only when a file is added to the queue.

    Ideally, if we're going with the queue method, then the specific thing I'd be looking for is more akin to "Include Only Audio Track With Language:" and "Include Only Subtitles Track With Language:"

    Sorry for being a pain about this.
