    The issue is, that the czech audio is available only in stereo and not in 5.1. So SF downloads the english audio only.

    I would like to see udio quality fallback feature, that will determine the available audio quality and downloads highest quality audio available for chosen language. I would like to download the video with 5.1 EN + 2.0 CS audio, but this combination is impossible to achieve in SF.

    Tried all the versions of the SF to the newest one, but I had no luck...

    Any thoughts about this issue ?

    I think it's not possible if more then one language is selected ..
    .. with two languages SF can't offer two different max Audio offers.

    And as you noted yourself, remuxing two different audio qualities
    is not possible with SF (AFAIK with any provider)


    > Any thoughts about this issue ?

    DL once the best en Audio (384 kb/s) and separate czech Audio (96.0 kb/s)
    and merge with MKVToolNix GUI (don't waste your time with waiting for fix)​
