According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_code" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>, "esp" comes from the obsolete 1967 ISO 639 standard. That means that your broadcaster must not be following the guidelines in the international standard. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" />We usually try to adhere to standards as much as possible so that MediaPortal works properly all around the world. In this case, it looks like the list in MediaPortal configuration contains many of the more common codes from ISO 639-2, along with some two letter codes from <a href="http://www.sil.org/iso639-3/codes.asp?order=639_1" target="_blank">ISO 639 part 1</a>. That means that technically we are not following the standard either. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite5" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":confused:" />I can speak to the team about whether we could add "esp" as a Spanish code, however it would be better if you are able to ask the TV provider who is using that code to correct it - the proper code for them to use is "spa".Alternatively, it should be possible to trick MediaPortal into using the correct code like Rekenaar said (thanks Rekenaar! <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />). To do that, first untick the "prefer audiotype over language" option in MediaPortal configuration. After you've closed MediaPortal configuration, you need to manually modify your MediaPortal configuration file:1. Open the MediaPortal.xml configuration file with a text editor like Notepad. MediaPortal.xml can be found in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal on Windows XP, or C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal on Windows Vista and Windows 7. There should be link to the correct folder ("user files") in the MediaPortal folder in your start menu.2. Search for the "preferredaudiolanguages" setting.3. Change it from:... to ...4. Save the change.Note that if you ever revisit the configuration page then the list of languages will be blank and the setting will be lost.</blockquote>
