Changing audio language in mpv doesnt work

I get this error message when trying to change the audiostream for playing stream through #

Encountering the same issue with the same log. When switching audio, sometimes it resets to the beginning like in #148 and sometimes the stream just freezes.

This is an mpv/ffmpeg issues I can't really do much about, sorry. Does just log the warning, or does the stream actually break?

[DefiantCatgirl]

In my particular case the stream does break. Tried MPV with the m3u8 URL directly, and the same issue repeats, so it is indeed something to do with MPV... It seems that its default behavior is to drop all stream cache when changing tracks, and it's unlikely to ever change. This doesn't affect recordings, but kills the F1 live stream in particular.

An option to pre-select the audio stream from within f1viewer (e.g. with --aid) would be amazing as a workaround, but probably too much to ask for...

You can set a preferred audio language in the config. Run f1viewer --config and set preferred_languages to your preferences in descending order.

The preselect through config works, just sad I cant switch audiostreams while watching without breaking the playback.

fwiw I'm also having the stream reset to the beginning on iina on macOS when I change the audio feed.

I have had this error come up on 2.6.0 when loading a multi command with the --start:0 flag. Without the flag it ran perfectly. Wondering whether it might have to do with the F1Live stream being continous now (which I heard about but did not check)

is this with my patch for detecting the silence? I noticed that there was an issue and I had to drop my --start flags as well for live feeds. Could it be buffering related?
