WD TV Live HD Media Player do not play second audio track mkv

[elrengo]

Hi! I’m a owner of WD TV HD Media Player (Part#: WDAAN0000NBK) with the last firmware, 1.06.43_V, I have one movie (MKV container) with one audio and some subtitles. Spanish Subtitle is not inside of MKV. I download the subtitle and rename with the same name that MKV file and works.
My doughter do nos understand English and can not read because she do not know, have 3 years old. I download Spanish audio for that movie. AC3 file. When the file have the same name that MKV file in my PC VLC and Media Player Classic Home Cinema I can select that alternative Audio, but In WD TV HD Media Player I can not select other audio that come inside of MKV.
How I can see the movie and select the other Audio for that movie? Is not possible?

Thanks!

Guido

if the AC3 file is a separate file then you will need to “mux” it into the MKV container eg. using MKVMerge (installed with MKVToolNix)

it’s very easy to do, and will take about 1 Minute

Thanks! If not possible is in diferents files, with the same name? Because other software can merge on the fly with out to handle the mvk

“Other” software ? you mean VLC and Media Player Classic Home Cinema ?
Well, that’s PC Software … which can play / do almost anything, compared to a WDTV (Hardware Players)
