filebot and mkvpropedit

[Cyb3rGh05t]

Hi,

i have a question about filebot and mkvpropedit.
I read somewhere that filebot can make use of mkvpropedit, if this is true is there a way how it could change the language tag of a movie file after being renamed with filebot?

Thanks

There's a script that will write xattr metadata to mp4 files:

You won't have much luck with mkv files though, since mkvpropedit can only set the title property:

Can mkvpropedit set the language tag?

Can mkvpropedit set the language tag?

Yes,

Code: Select all

find /path/to/mediafiles/ . -iname "*.mkv" -exec mkvpropedit {} --delete title --edit track:v1 --set language=eng --set flag-forced=0 --delete name --edit track:a1 --set language=ger --set flag-forced=1 --delete name \;

Thats how i am using it to change language tags without a complete remuxx of the file

Just use filebot -exec then, it's kinda like find -exec but FileBot-powered:

Code: Select all

filebot -mediainfo -r . --file-filter "ext == /mkv/" -exec mkvpropedit {f} --delete title --edit track:v1 --set language={languages[0]} --set flag-forced=0 --delete name --edit track:a1 --set language={audioLanguages[0]} --set flag-forced=1 --delete name

Notably, in this example, {languages} is based on xattr metadata, while {audioLanguages} is based on MediaInfo (and thus fail if the file isn't already tagged).

all right, but i have specify a input folder no?

Code: Select all

filebot -mediainfo -r . --file-filter "ext == /mkv/" -exec mkvpropedit {f} --delete title --edit track:v1 --set language={languages[0]} --set flag-forced=0 --delete name --edit track:a1 --set language={audioLanguages[0]} --set flag-forced=1 --delete name

[rednoah]

In this example, . (i.e. current working directory) is the input folder. You can use absolute paths if you prefer that.



EDIT:

Best to start testing things with echo:

Code: Select all

filebot ... -exec echo {f} ... --set language={languages[0]} ... --set language={audioLanguages[0]}

thanks,

so i could go with :

Code: Select all

filebot /mnt/renamed/movies/ -mediainfo -r . --file-filter "ext == /mkv/" -exec mkvpropedit {f} --delete title --edit track:v1 --set language=eng --set flag-forced=0 --delete name --edit track:a1 --set language=ger --set flag-forced=1 --delete name --log-file /var/plexguide/filebot.log
 

[rednoah]

You're now passing both . as well as /mnt/renamed/movies/ as input folder... You're probably fine with just the latter.


You're already using find . so I'm assuming you kinda know what . means, no?


-exec must be your last FileBot option. You can't add --log-file at the end. Well, you can, but then mkvpropedit is going to be very confused.

all right thanks

[Cyb3rGh05t]

could you maybe help me out to edit the code?

i dont get how to tell it to look for undefinied "UND" tracks and if there is one then it changes it to "GER"?

thanks for helping

[rednoah]

You can use --file-filter to only select specific files (e.g. files with UND audio tracks) and the rest is just mkvpropedit.

ok thanks again
