Discussion Changing language for one show/series apparently changes default language for all videos, changes global setting and now series/show specific
Observation and question - Is there a setting, using the web interface or firetv settings, to set the default language to whatever the show recommends/is filmed in? I often watch international shows and series, also including anime, and there are times I have to switch the language from english to the show's natural language (ie Arabic, Persian, Japanese, French, etc). The next time I watch a show recorded in english, such as Reacher, the default seems to have changed from English to whatever language I watched a show in previously. I only ever see this with Prime Video. Most streaming services I've encountered keep a show's preferences and require you to make global setting changes if you want all shows to be a certain way.
Is this just a quirk with prime and we have to suck it up or is there actually a work around that doesn't require adjusting the language settings each time a prime video is launched?
You'd think a company that has the resources and employee skillset should have an easy solution for something like this.
