Is it possible to configure a default output filename for the commandline tool makemkvcon? I know, you can do that with the GUI-Version. How do I do that for makemkvcon?
Thanks and have a nice day
EDIT: Do I ask in the wrong forum?

No, it's not a case of "the wrong forum", but more a case of not many people know the answer.

Re: Default output filename template using makemkvcon
This setting is stored in preferences. You can edit them in GUI and makemkvcon would pick them. Or you can edit preferences by hand, but this is only recommended as a last resort, if you have no gui at all.
Re: Default output filename template using makemkvcon
Thanks for clearing this up. I have no gui, so I have to edit the preferences by hand. But: where do I find the preferences for the output filename template?mike admin wrote: ↑Fri Jan 31, 2020 3:32 pmThis setting is stored in preferences.

~/.MakeMKV has two files: settings.conf (written by me for app_Key) and update.conf (MakeMKV settings file, written by MakeMKV).
Are those files the 'preferences'?

Which implies that your OS is Linux (settings are stored in different places on Windows, Mac and Linux).
The list of all settings can be (reliably) looked up in open-source part of MakeMKV - check the apdefs.h file. At the time of this writing the list is:
Code: Select all
typedef enum _ApSettingId
{
apset_dvd_MinimumTitleLength ,
apset_dvd_TestMTL ,
apset_dvd_SPRemoveMethod ,
apset_app_DataDir ,
apset_app_Key ,
apset_app_KeyHash ,
apset_io_ErrorRetryCount ,
apset_io_IgnoreReadErrors ,
apset_io_RBufSizeMB ,
apset_io_TIPS_Server ,
apset_app_ExpertMode ,
apset_io_DarwinK2Workaround ,
apset_fs_ForceIsoForUDF102 ,
apset_app_DestinationType ,
apset_app_DestinationDir ,
apset_app_ShowDebug ,
apset_app_PreferredLanguage ,
apset_app_BackupDecrypted ,
apset_app_InterfaceLanguage ,
apset_app_UpdateEnable ,
apset_io_SingleDrive ,
apset_app_ShowAVSyncMessages ,
apset_bdplus_DumpAlways ,
apset_app_DefaultProfileName ,
apset_app_DefaultSelectionString ,
apset_app_Java ,
apset_app_ccextractor ,
apset_path_OpenFile ,
apset_path_DestDir ,
apset_app_DefaultOutputFileName ,
apset_sdf_Stop ,
} ApSettingId;
Code: Select all
app_DefaultOutputFileName = "bla"
