Hi, you can set this in Setting -> Contents -> Preferred Audio Language

We don't want to add the option in the player since most users don't need to change the track frequently.

I knew that I can change the audio language in the general settings, but that's not what I wanted to do or asked for.
Doing so is very cumbersome and impractical to say the least.
Since I have to go to the Youtube or Invidious website or an different YouTube-Font-End-App to find out if and what languages are availlable beforehand and to switch it back in the app settings is also a very disruptive experience.
As a polylinguist or language student you need to be able to switch back and forth multiple times effortlessly sometimes every few seconds if you're in the process of learning a new language or extending / refreshing your skill level of an already learned one.
So I really would appreciate it if you reconsider your approach on this feature. Maybe start a poll over two or three month and ask the users of PipePipe if they would like the integration of this feature or not. I'm pretty sure nearly every polylinguist or language student will like this feature!
I really like your App, and use it nearly every or every second day for years now. I also recommend PipePipe to my friends and install it for the less technically sawy ones on their phone if they want it. It would be a shame to have to use the browser or another App just for this rather easy to implement and important feature.

Most likely not relevant to you but maybe you can understand my motivation better if you know this much about me:
My native tongue is german.
Im fluent languages in english and avanced in the understanding of spoken or written spanish but I'm not a fluent speaker of it yet. Im on beginner level in simplified chinese and polish.

Anyway thanks for your great App!

Preferably there'd be an option in the settings to enable audio track changes from within the player. It could be opt-in, so those that aren't interested in this feature wouldn't have to do anything.

I fully support this feature and completely agree with @DrDustwolf. It’s an invaluable tool for language learners. It would be amazing to see it incorporated into PipePipe. Ultimately, the decision is in your hands, @InfinityLoop1308, so take your time and do what you think is best for the future of the project. Thank you for creating such a priceless, high-quality application. Wishing you all the best, sending my respect and gratitude. Happy Spring Festival! Take care and stay well.
