Antebellum has like 500 playlists...I grabbed the whole disk until I figure it out. All 1:46:00 and 33GB. Let me know if you know!

Title information
Name: Antebellum (English)
Source file name: 00007.mpls
Duration: 1:46:00
Chapters count: 16
Size: 33.0 GB
Segment count: 15
Segment map: 515,503,504,513,512,501,511,506,509,514,502,508,507,505,510
File name: Antebellum_t01.mkv

My research has playlist 00568 (US Retail).

515,503,504,513,512,509,501,505,502,511,506,514,507,508,510

[US Retail]

Confirmation That [00568.MPLS] Works

Thanks hvnphoto

US Retail is 00568.MPLS.

Any info on the Redbox version? There is no segment map starting with 515. Only 505.

Same for Netflix.

let me teach you a trick on a way to figure out proper playlist with a bit of detective work (at least in a linux env)

makemkvcon -r info iso:/path/to/your/iso |grep ",26," | cut -f4- -d',' |sort

you now have every playlist sorted by segments. now, you can play the first segment and skip to the end, and see how it ends (and see if it makes sense how it starts)

then look at the second segment, and see if it follow correctly from the first, if not skip all the lines with the same second segment and find the next possible second segment, till you find one that fits, once you do, move onto the third and rinse and repeat. one you find the line that makes sense, return makemkvconf -r info without any grep or cut to find the playlist that segment list is associated with and then you have it.

That doesn't help us dummies - like me.

Please ignore my last post. This is the correct playlist for RedBox...

That post is, I think, a reasonable primer on what segments are on blu-rays.

dcoke22:
I read and appreciate your post. I am familiar with segments and playlists - I just don't have enough expertise.

theres not much expertise needed if one can run a version of the command I gave.

makemkvcon -r info prints out a lot of info

| grep ",26," -> selects the lines that contain segment maps

| cut -f4- -d',' -> takes those lines and only includes the segment map portion

| sort -> sorts all the segment maps alphabeticaly, i.e. you will end up with something like

505,500,501,504,503,506
505,501,500,504,503,506
506,505,504,501,500,503
.....

you start with 505, it if makes sense, you then see if 500 folows it, if not you try 501
if 505 didnt make snse, you look at 506 and so the same thing from there.

this should really minimize the amount of playlists one has to look at.

Any reason my MakeMKV would list t00/00150.mpls as the Main Feature (literally labels that as "FPL_MainFeature) for RB? I have attached a screenshot.

The titles selected by the software as the 'Main Feature' are frequently wrong. I posted the correct title last week. I went through the entire process of verifying the segments, and have since watched it with subtitles from an external source that matched up perfectly. The correct Redbox playlist is 991.mpls.

Thanks for answering my question - shame about the software "Main Feature" error rate but that's what this excellent support forum is for!
