[FEATURE REQ] TOC only mode for `makemkvcon` + rip multiple selected titles
Posted: Sat Oct 26, 2024 8:03 pm
In my CLI usage of makemkv, I always end up running the console program at least twice, once to scan the disc and get title numbers from `--robot` output, and then a second+ time(s) to actually rip the titles.
Part 1:
Currently the command line tool (which is great btw) will do a full audio / subtitle / video scan *every* time the program is invoked, but for this first pass, all I really care about is how MakeMKV perceives the table of contents, so I can tell it later which titles I actually want to rip. Is there a way this could be added as a switch to the `info` subcommand, or as its own command?
Part 2:
Once I have selected the titles I want to rip, it seems to me that because there's a lot of startup lag in scanning everything for a rip because every individual title must be ripped with its own invocation of `makemkvcon`. Could a feature be added to give the `mkv` subcommand of `makemkvcon` a list of titles to rip? That way I only need to scan the disc once, then all the titles I've selected get ripped. A lot of times I don't want to `makemkvcon mkv all` because there often some small duplications within the disc like TV shows including a title that's _all_ the episodes, or movies with duplicated titles for ... reasons idk why.
