Wrong audio track selected when playing MKV files (1 Viewer)

[pedu]

I have selected English as default Audio language and Danish as default Subtitle language in the Videos configuration settings. However when trying to play back a MKV file with two embedded audio tracks (1st: German, 2nd: English) Media Portal always select the 1st track - not the 2nd with English audio. I have attached my mediaportal.log file but by browsing through it I stumbled upon the following (marked in bold):

As far as I can see MP finds and select the correct subtitle stream da but does not find an audio stream which honours the AudioLanguage CultureInfo en.

By manually inspectiing the file with MediaInfo I get the following info


Audio #1
ID : 2
Format : AC-3
Format/Info : Audio Coding 3

Codec ID : A_AC3

Channel positions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE

Audio #2

So it's obvious that the MKV container contains two audio tracks with the second track being the English track. I also noticed that the first track (German) has the default track flag set - however I thought that MP would ignore this flag and enforce the Audio Language selected in Video settings instead.

Is this a bug or have I got it all wrong?

Cheers,
