The buttons for selecting audio track and subtitle track are greyed out and do not function even if the video has multiple tracks for both.

Could you provide a sample of the status XML for a video you're seeing this happening with?

Should be http://localhost:8080/requests/status.xml on the machine VLC is running on.

As requested:

status.txt

TIL VLC translates type codes in its API responses, so we'll have to change how we look for subtitle and audio tracks:

<category name='Stream 2'>
  <info name='Type'>Undertekst</info>
  <info name='Codec'>Text subtitles with various tags (subt)</info>
</category>

The sample you gave didn't have any Language info on the subtitle track, so I'll need to make subtitle track checking more lenient than it currently is too.
