Mplayer with multiple audio languages
 

Hi!

I am currently using mplayer as my video player and ever so often theres an ogm video file I want to play. However up to now I have not been able to really find out which ID maps to which language short of trying every available audio ID. If I use all I get is something like

...
ID_VIDEO_ID=0
[Ogg] stream 0: video (FOURCC DX50), -vid 0
ID_AUDIO_ID=0
[Ogg] stream 1: audio (Vorbis), -aid 0
ID_AUDIO_ID=1
[Ogg] stream 2: audio (Vorbis), -aid 1
[Ogg] stream 3: subtitles (SRT-like text subtitles), -sid 0
ID_SUBTITLE_ID=0
...
Opening audio decoder: [libvorbis] Ogg/Vorbis audio decoder
ID_AID_0_LANG=English
ID_SID_0_LANG=English
[Ogg] Language for -sid 0 is '-slang "English"'
...

so I know the language of the default track (or whatever track I selected using -aid), but not of all the other tracks. Anyone know a way to find out which ID corresponds to which language without going through all -aid possibilities?

Regards

mplayer -aid 128 works for me

Did a few tests with different files and different options, and it seems that Matroska files display information on the language of the different audio and subtitle tracks, however every .ogm file I tried I only got the selected audio and subtitle to display information other than its id.

Anybody have an idea what this might be?

Try to increase the verbosity level of mplayer (mplayer -v something.ogm) or use the -msglevel option. They might help.
