| Q: | How can I configure my preferred language(s) for audio tracks and subtitles in Haali Media Splitter? |
| A: | You should see a white icon in your system tray (right-bottom of your screen). That is Haali Media Splitter. Double-click on that icon to view its options. You can also get to the options by clicking on the Haali Media Splitter shortcut in the start menu. Once you are in the Options screen, click on 'Languages'. There you can set the preferred language(s) for audio and subtitles. The language should be input using a three character code, for example eng for English. You can specify multiple languages by separating them by commas. The language codes should be input as lowercase, so 'eng' is correct and 'ENG' is incorrect. A list of three letters codes for every language can be found HERE. Some codecs for common languages are: ara - Arabic bul - Bulgarian chi - Chinese cze - Czech dan - Danish dut - Dutch egy - Egyptian eng - English fin - Finnish fre - French ger - German gre - Greek heb - Hebrew hun - Hungarian ind - Indonesian ita - Italian jpn - Japanese kor - Korean nor - Norwegian pol - Polish por - Portuguese rum - Romanian rus - Russian spa - Spanish tha - Thai tur - Turkish ukr - Ukrainian vie - Vietnamese |
| Q: | How can I select the desired audio stream in Media Center? |
| A: | There is no way to select a specific audio track during playback in Media Center (at least not without using third party plugins such as MediaControl). It is only possible to pre-configure which one to use. By default the first one is used. See the other topics on this page for instructions on how to configure the preferred language for audio streams in Haali Media Splitter and LAV Splitter. |
| Q: | Is it possible to backup my codec settings? |
| A: | The Codec Tweak Tool has an option to export (= backup) and import (= restore) settings. |
| Q: | How can I configure my preferred language(s) for audio tracks and subtitles in LAV Splitter? |
| A: | LAV Splitter allows you to configure your preferred audio languages using three letter language codes. Simply create a comma separated list of your preferred language(s). A list of language codes can be found HERE. The subtitle selection logic allows more complex selection rules that also take the current audio language into account. To use the complex logic you need to set "Subtitle Selection Mode" to "Advanced". The advanced subtitle selection is explained below in a excerpt from the LAV Splitter readme: The advanced mode uses a different syntax for the preferred language field to enable these rules. Instead of a single language tag, a combined tag of audio and subtitle language is required (separated by a colon). The most basic tag would look like this: “ger:eng”. In this case, the interpretation would be “If Audio is German, use English subtitles”. Note: Even though this may feel similar to the selectors Haali’s Media Splitter offers, LAV’s implemention does not allow you to specify which audio stream is used through the advanced selectors, the audio language is only used to select which subtitles are used. In addition to simply using two language tags, you can use the “*” character to match all languages, or the “off” token to disable subtitles. For example, following tag will enable any subtitles when the audio is english, and disable subtitles otherwise: “eng:*;*:off”. As you’ve seen in the previous example, multiple rules can be concatenated using a semi-colon (or a space) to build rule chains. Again, everything is interpreted from left to right. To complete the advanced mode, there are two flags for “default” and “forced” subtitles which are supported. These two flags only occur in the Matroska container (.mkv files). The flags are identified by their first letter, and appended to the subtitle language separated by a pipe character (“|”). As an example, following rule will select any “forced” subtitles, and turn off subtitles otherwise: “*:*|f;*:off” To finish the section about advanced subtitles, here some examples of rules to inspire you: “*:eng;*:*|f;*:*|d” This is the rule equal to the “Default” subtitle mode with English as a preferred language. “eng:eng|f;ger:ger|f” Load English “forced” subtitles if audio is English, load German “forced” subtitles if audio is German, no subs otherwise. “eng:off;fre:eng;*:*|d” English Audio: Turn subs off; French Audio: English subs; Any other audio: try to find subtitles flagged “default”. |
