Custom m3u8 for map audio

[rudnypc]

When video has multiple audio, maybe it would be nice if we can choose the best audio language, the ffprobe can give all index audio.

Generate m3u8 for custom video, audio and subtitle index could be nice too.

As separate manifest? E.g. profile-eng.m3u8 or joined together in one playlist as multiple audios?

[rudnypc]

It's a nice idea, but how it will work if the video has multiple audios in english or unknow language? What do you think in profile-eng-00.m3u8, profile-eng-01.m3u8 and, profile-ger-00.m3u8, profile-por-00.m3u8, profile-UNK-00.m3u8, profile-UNK-02.m3u8?

unk=unknow

I'm thinking if will be easy at the transcode to know the right index to use.

Yes, I agree, stream index could be used. And then maybe either using filter options as query parameters or in the name of manifest.

profile-0.m3u8
profile-1.m3u8
profile-2.m3u8

0,1,2.. is the index.
Inside the master playlist, you could put the language name/details.
