Hi,
from time to time, some show have multiple french audio streams, we can see French (France) and French (Canada).
When anystream download both streams, it is imposible to identify which is which.
maybe some extra attribute can be used to identify each streams ?

from Mediainfo...

Title : French (France)
Language : French
 
Can you please upload a log next time you encounter such a show or movie, to make it easier for the devs to see. One movie or episode is enough, you don't have to wait until the entire season has been downloaded.
 
There are some extra language code to identify the language like "fr-fr" or "fr-ca", the same than "en-us" and "en-gb". I don't know if AS uses them correctly because I don't have an example, but MediaInfo or VLC doesn't use the extra code so they can't distinguish the "fr-fr" from the "fr-ca" and use only the first letter "fr" to show the language. Maybe set a name on the track.

That ISO is a keyboard thingie. Videos use the ISO 639-2 for languages and it has the same codes for the same isolects, eg: same code for Iberian Spanish or American Spanish.

MP4 is what all streaming platforms use, but it is a gigantic pita to store videos and handle metadata.
 
MKV files handle well these codes, but MP4 files have restrictions and don't store the complete code, maybe it's why we lose the information in the process.
 
See this log file.
there is two french track one for French (France) and one for Franch (Canada).
if AnyStream could identify the audio track the same way as the Subs it would be perfect.

Comment                                  : After Bart’s tattoo removal, Homer’s failure as a department store Santa, and a bad day at the dog track, Christmas prospects look dim for the Simpsons. But Homer seizes the day and, with the help of Santa’s Little Helper, blunders home with the best gift of all-something to share the family’s love. And frighten prowlers. A holiday classic!!
