May I have to create a profile with the track selection in makemkvcon folder (so to rewrite file for every new backup) ?

Or may I pass as CLI parameter like

Code: Select all

--param="-sel:all, +sel:(favlang|nolang), -sel:(havemulti|havelossless), +sel:(core*(favlang|nolang)), =100:all, -10:favlang"

For now you have to create a profile and pass it to makemkvcon.

How do I tell makemkvcon which profile XML file to choose? Is there a parameter to specify the file path?

Suggest the following addition to usage.txt:

Code: Select all

--profile=path_to_profile_xml_file
Read ripping profile from file. This can be used to specify how various track types are handled (e.g., copy or compress). This file can also be used to specify which audio/video/subtitle tracks to keep or discard based on the value of app_DefaultSelectionString variable.
