Hi all, i don’t know if this is a bug, a missing feature on WDTV Live (Gen. 3) or i’m doing something wrong. I ripped a film with two audio streams in an mkv container, thing is, WDTV can’t display the audio track language or title when you switch them, it is showing only the track type (“DTSHRA” for English or “DTS” for Italian in my case). Here’s a mediainfo log:

This issue has already been discussed Here or Here but they are old threads and it seems that a fix isn’t out there yet. As you can see from the log, i also tried to add the “Title” field in audio tracks with MKVmerge, but the player doesn’t display it. The toolchain i used for ripping and transcoding the film was: MakeMKV → HandBrake → MKVmerge. Any suggestions please?
EDIT: forgot to mention i’m using latest firmware v2.01.86, also tried a factory reset but didn’t solve this issue.
