Feature description

At the moment, the default audio track used for multi-audio-track videos has to be a specific language (usually the system language). Ideally it should be possible to select "always use the original video language" in content settings so that the original audio track gets selected (regardless of language) instead.

Why do you want this feature?

In the past year, a lot of YouTubers have started using AI-generated translations of their videos, which just sound horrible and suck all of the emotion (and dare I say humanity) out of the audio. As I'm multilingual, I would much prefer to hear the video in the original language that a human spoke.

At the moment it is necessary to manually go and change the audio track each time a new video plays, which doesn't really work if you're playing a video in background mode while driving and so can't interact with the NewPipe app (and there is no indication in the UX before playing a video whether it has an AI-generated translation audio track).

This is already supported: go to app settings, then go to Video and audio section and finally enable Prefer original audio setting.

Ah sorry, I was looking in the content section and it wasn't there. Thanks, and sorry for the noise!

I came to this issue because I had the same problem and had also found the other options in the content settings 😂 That option is perfect, thank you!

It would be nice to have the same option for video titles and descriptions 🙂

@AudricV should we make this the default? I hear many complaints about this feature and not everyone knows that it can be toggled. Also, we might want to avoid promoting AI translated voiceovers as the default, and instead let the user choose (so, opt-in, not opt-out).
