I'm trying to push some MKV files to my Tivo. These have both a Russian (0.1) and English (0.2) audio track.

I have been trying, without success, to use the audio_lang option to select the English track, but just keep getting the Russian over and over again. I have tried several variations with audio_lang including:

en
eng
0.2
0.2, en
0.2, eng
5.1, DTS, eng, 0.2

Everytime I try to push the file, it reverts back to the 0.1 Russian track. I know that the english track is present and functional because I can select it with VLC and play it fine on my computer.

Any help is much appreciated!!

I am using a Mac OS X 10.5.8 with an HD Tivo

what version of pytivo do you have? I think wmcbrine and myself have slightly different code to handle this...
