Top alternatives to MKVPriority

In its own words

The project's README opens: "MKVPriority assigns configurable priority scores to audio and subtitle tracks, similar to custom formats in Radarr/Sonarr. MKV flags, such as default and forced, are automatically set for the highest-priority tracks (e.g., 5.1 surround and ASS subtitles), while lower-priority tracks (e.g., stereo audio and PGS subtitles) are deprioritized."

Why it ranks here
