Change the location of audio track selection on Apple TV
Describe the feature you'd like
First of all, thank you for all your hard work for making it possible to access Jellyfin on TV! ❤️
But I'm wondering if it would be possible to mimic how TV allows selecting audio tracks?
I found it very difficult to discover how to change audio tracks because it's very different from how the TV does it. For example, to change the audio track on TV you simply press up on the remote and that takes you to the little right-hand side menu where you can select audio tracks, subtitles, etc.
Jellyfin on the other hand has the back, forward and stop buttons in that location. This to me makes very little sense since all of those actions can be done via the physical buttons on the remote. I think that location can be much better utilised for the subtitles and audio selection.
For example, to switch an audio track in Jellyfin, you have to wait until the controls disappear and then press down on the remote which brings up the subtitle, audio track, chapter, etc menu. I think it would be much nicer if, again, this would mimic TV behaviour and show the movie/episode description.
Let me know what you think!
