HLS: Single audio track only

[guilhermy]

I don't know if this is related to TVirl or the Live Channel app: I have some channels with multiple audio tracks (like a dubbed and a original version), but in the options on the channel menu, where there's the Closed Caption, PIP button, etc, the selection of audio track is always grayed out. It there a way around it?

This option becomes active when there're multiple audio tracks in stream.
you can check how TVirl identifies stream (it's tracks and so on) by enabling "Debug overview" from TVirl's context menu.

Also - please send error report from TVirl's settings after playing problematic stream.

TVirl supports multiple audio tracks, but ExoPlayer forces single audio track for muxed strean in HLS. http progressive and HLS with separated audio streams work well.

• HLS - ExoPlayer doesn't detect multiple tracks of same type muxed in TS chunks google/ExoPlayer#2014
