makemkvcon: setting readRetryCount?

[ordually]

Using makemkvcon (1.9.9 registered), what is the means for setting read retry count?

I tried adding it to /usr/share/MakeMKV/default.mmcp.xml:

Code: Select all

<mkvSettings
        ignoreForcedSubtitlesFlag="true"
        useISO639Type2T="false"
        setFirstAudioTrackAsDefault="true"
        setFirstSubtitleTrackAsDefault="true"
        setFirstForcedSubtitleTrackAsDefault="true"
        insertFirstChapter00IfMissing="true"

        readRetryCount="25"
    />

But I'm not sure it's having an effect.

Thanks.

IIUI correctly, it means the number of times it will retry reading a bad sector on the media. Once it as gone thru 25 (your setting) attempts, it will bail.

Agreed, that is what the parameter should do. It's available in the preferences in the GUI. But how to set it for makemkvcon?

Sorry, that I do not know.

For Windows and OS X, if you set the retry count in the GUI, it affects the command line settings. I don't know if does on Linux, though.

Do you have the GUI installed?
