I’ve got a lot of local media stored, and some of them have the incorrect audio track selected as the default audio track.

I’ve fixed some of them manually with various incantations of command line tools, but I’m looking for a web based tool to do this for me.

Does anyone have a suggestion? I’m looking to change the default audio track and fix incorrect languages on the audio tracks primarily, and I’d like to avoid building something from scratch

Are the tracks incorrect as in the first track should be English but is the French track, or track one is labelled as English but is actually French?

If they're labelled correctly, your media player should be able to select your chosen language from the options, whichever order they're in. I think Plex does it.

If they're incorrectly labelled, there are tools that can fix them, but it's been years since I last used one. I think MakeMKV did it, but it was gui from what I remember.

It's not web based but MKVToolNix GUI is pretty user friendly. I haven't dug into it too deeply so I don't know if it offers any automation tools to batch change files etc.

They don’t edit the metadata on the files themselves, unless there’s a trick I’m missing

They download and categorize it, but don’t change the default audio track or fix incorrect language listings
