Now I don't have to : right-click > english audio and right-click > french subtitle. It launches every video of the season ready to go. It was worth it, right?

I'm thinking of ~~2~~ 3 issues here.
Either your file had the propertie flag
--forced-display-flagfor the audio track 1 and this would force the audio 1 to play even if you changed theflag-defaultwith mkvpropedit. In that case you have no other choice to remux your file with mkvmerge and change the flag to--forced-display-flag 1:no(if it's the audio track 1) I have no idea why someome would force an audio track....Or you didn't used the
--edit track:s1flag with theflag-defaultpropertie, which uses mkvmerge under the hood. Reading through my notes there is a superuser.com link talking specifically about that, and how it could fuck up your tracks order if you don't use thetrackflag.Edit: This is only true if your player is capable to select the audio based on the flag default or forced. Otherwise you have to remux the file and change the order of tracks with the
--track-orderflag with mkvmerge. ~~This could be the case for Plex, you can probably find that info in the plex documentation !~~Edit2: Plex seems to use both but I would suspect plex or bad flags being the culprit here rather than mkvtools.
Yes, the problem was Plex. Other players were fine.
