Profiles don't work anymore since v1.14.0
Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2018 11:49 pm
Since the current release, all presets/profiles for stream selection/editing don't work anymore. Is this a known bug? Has the syntax/API been changed?

Yes, my custom profile is stored in the data directory. It was also automatically chosen by makemkv as the default profile after updating to 1.14.0.Woodstock wrote: ↑Wed Nov 07, 2018 5:56 pmWhere did you store your profiles?
If your CHANGED profiles were kept in your MakeMKV data directory, they should be unchanged and still useful; I'm doing a rip right now with v1.14.0 and my self-created profile.
Any profile stored in the MakeMKV program directory will have been deleted during the install. This has been the case for several years.
The MakeMKV data directory is configured in Preferences->General.
Code: Select all
<mkvSettings
ignoreForcedSubtitlesFlag="false"
useISO639Type2T="false"
setFirstAudioTrackAsDefault="true"
setFirstSubtitleTrackAsDefault="true"
setFirstForcedSubtitleTrackAsDefault="false"
insertFirstChapter00IfMissing="true"
So if I understand you correctly you remove the possibility of storing a custom profile under the /data directory?mike admin wrote: ↑Thu Nov 08, 2018 12:30 pmI believe you are asking about default selection string. Before 1.14.0 the default selection string could be specified in 3 places:
1) in profile, globally, in profileSettings section
2) in program preferences, overriding (1)
3) in profile, in each track settings, overriding or amending (2)
With 1.14.0 the location (1) is removed. This location was an artifact of early profile implementation, with confusing logic when to apply rules from settings or from profile. All you need to do is to copy your selection rule from profile to settings.
If you have a drastically different selection rules per profiles, you still can override selection rule in track setting section of each profile. You would end up copying value a few times, but I can't imagine this in real life.
Yes, this is the only change you had to make.Meister_Proper wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 12:35 pmI needed to change the "Default selection rule" to what is present in my profile.
I do not understand the question. Nothing else in profiles had changed, these settings are still there.Meister_Proper wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 12:35 pmHowever, what about the mkv specific settings stored in the profile:How can I preserve those settings?Code: Select all
<mkvSettings ignoreForcedSubtitlesFlag="false" useISO639Type2T="false" setFirstAudioTrackAsDefault="true" setFirstSubtitleTrackAsDefault="true" setFirstForcedSubtitleTrackAsDefault="false" insertFirstChapter00IfMissing="true"

I do not understand the question, sorry.Meister_Proper wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 12:35 pmWhat do you mean by 3)? As I want to continue using a profile, rather than using the profile preferences.
My question was whether these settings are still honored in my case. So you answered my questionmike admin wrote: ↑Sat Nov 10, 2018 2:00 pmI do not understand the question.

Alright, no problem. What I wanted to ask is the best way to use a profile and/or the best place to put a profile so that I dont need to change any setting within makemkv itself.mike admin wrote: ↑Sat Nov 10, 2018 2:00 pmNoMeister_Proper wrote: ↑Fri Nov 09, 2018 12:35 pmSo if I understand you correctly you remove the possibility of storing a custom profile under the /data directory?

Just create your own profile (you may take any of pre-existing ones from appdata.tar and use as base). Then keep the profile in "MakeMKV data directory" as set in preferences (not installation directory). This way your profile will survive upgrades/downgrades and multiple installs.Meister_Proper wrote: ↑Sat Nov 10, 2018 4:18 pmAlright, no problem.
