Changing default track / rule to only select one track per language

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up a default selection rule in MakeMKV that only keeps one audio track (in the best possible quality) and one subtitle track for each of the languages I need: English, German, and Spanish.

Currently, I have the following rule:

Code: Select all

-sel:all,+sel:(eng|ger|deu|spa),-sel:forced,-sel:core,-sel:havemulti
The issue I’m facing is that I can't find any tokens in the format of {action}:{condition} that would allow me to specify keeping only one audio and one subtitle track per language.

Is this even possible with MakeMKV? Do you have any help or suggestions?

Thanks!

Tried it eons ago. Problem is movies where mono was "best track", but 5.1 made a good commentary. Anything that is "better" would override your default selection. Cannot say its impossible, but it isn't built in to MakeMKV.
