Commentary tracks? josephzitt Junior Member Posts: 27 Joined: Mar 2013 Reputation: 0 josephzitt Junior Member Posts: 27 #1 2019-03-29, 16:53 How can I get Kodi to play an external commentary track with a movie? Is there a particular way that they have to be named? Looking through the documentation, I haven't found anything.

Must they be named exactly the same? I have multiple tracks for some movies, so would like to be able to keep more than one and to tell them apart.

Why do you not add the audio tracks to the video file? Reply Find Reply Quick Edit Full Edit PH-SYM Fan Posts: 515 Joined: Feb 2012 Reputation: 23 PH-SYM Fan Posts: 515 #5 2019-03-31, 02:58

You can use MKVtoolnix for this. I think all righthtinking people in this country are sick and tired of being told that ordinary, decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

What I've found now through experimenting: They don't have to have exactly the same name as the movie. Their name just has to start the same way as the movie's does. Thus, commentary tracks to "My Movie (2019)" named My Movie (2019) - Commentary by director.ac3 My Movie (2019) - Commentary by editor.ac3 do show up as alternative audio streams within Kodi. They don't have names, but they are playable as audio streams within it.

There are many cool commentary and watch-along tracks out there and on youtube but don't include any audio from the movie itself. Reply Find Reply Quick Edit Full Edit
