Manage audio tracks

JWP enables you to edit the name, language, and language code of default and alternate audio tracks. Managing your audio track metadata allows you to do the following:

• Clearly showing the language of the audio track in the player
• Ensuring that the audio track has the correct language code for any custom player or application integrations
• Removing unwanted alternate tracks from media playback
