Make mkv controllable by an external program for automation?

#1 Post by Iansilv » Thu Sep 02, 2010 7:17 am

Is it possible to have makemkv controlled my an external program that can take a set of preset user parameters and automate the mkv making process based on info from a database?

For example- say I I put in to a program, "get rid of all non- English subtitles and posey audio tracks" or something like that for all disks. A disk is inserted and that disk is identified and the program knows what the files are on that disk. He program then automates the mkv process from that database data according to the preset parameters stored fromthe user.

So this program could be used by mymovies and the automation could be done from the mymovies database...

I'm working on a Perl program to automate MakeMKV on Linux. The command to use to get all the info from a Blu-ray disk is:

makemkvcon -r info disc:0

The complete usage for makemkvcon can be found here: usage.txt

Thank you! I think makemkv could be very useful if it had a library of data that told it, depending on the disk, what files to rip to make movie only files, or other files depending on the user selected options.
