gMKVExtractGUI v2.6.4

Somehow the output of the log is in German for me (my default environment language) and the app pops up that "No mkv segments found" message again. Maybe the environment variables have a higher priority and they're kind of overwriting the cli commands? Here's the log if you need it: http://pasted.co/468748b5

Could you post the Log to see what the output writes?

Great. It actually works. I've put it into a system directory and then it writes the config into /home/djcj/.config/Gpower2/gMKVExtractGUI/1.6.3.0/gMKVExtractGUI.ini

I guess I have to ask Mosu about that one...

The output log is as expected. I checked the relevant code again and everything seems to be bug free, so I'm guessing it's a mono issue.

I guess that covers your request, right? I still might implement the cli argument, since it's actually a cool idea!

Thanks again!

After reading the mkvmerge manual more carefully I noticed this:

--ui-language code
Forces the translations for the language code to be used (e.g. 'de_DE' for the German translations). It is preferable to use the environment variables LANG, LC_MESSAGES and LC_ALL though. Entering 'list' as the code will cause mkvmerge(1) to output a list of available translations.

That's why you have to set the LANGUAGE environment variable beforehand!

So, I changed the code a bit, to set the needed environment variables to "C" locale when on Linux and not to use the "--ui-language" cli option.
The environment variables values should only affect the current process, so you won't have to worry about messing with your locale settings.

Could you check r82 without patching it and without adding LANGUAGE=C before running it?

Please Add Checkbox "Use Source Dir for Output"

[gpower2]

By default the output dir is the same with the source dir, unless you check the "Lock output" checkbox.

So your request is already fulfilled!

the program keeps crashing for me after updating mkvtoolnix to 8.5.0. does anyone else have this problem?

[gpower2]

At what phase does the app crash?
It crashes immediately on start up?
Or when you open a file?

EDIT:
It appears that the 8.5.0 installer deletes all files in "C:\Program Files\MKVToolnix" except the ones with "exe" extension.
So if you had put the gMKVExtractGUI files in this directory, you will find that the file "gMKVToolnix.dll" is missing.
In that case you should re-download gMKVExtractGUI and put all the files in the MKVToolnix directory again.

[Thunderbolt8]

thanks, it works again.

Your tool does great job but there is one cosmetic annoyance that you could fix easily I hope:
Individual and total jobs percentage labels should be moved one row further down so as to align with their progress bars accordingly - see screenshot:

[gpower2]

I will fix it in the new version!

Thanks for the feedback!

[magsoud]

two suggestion for MKVExtractGUI:
1) When the application is extracting, Show warning for click on Close!
2) Show "Success Extraction" in Main Window!

[gpower2]

New version 1.6.4 is out, mostly containing fixes reported from users here, but the most exciting thing about this version, is that it's the first to fully support Linux, thanks to feedback from djcj!

Download link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gmkv....4.7z/download

Changelog:

• Add support for Linux (thanks djcj)
• Add a start up check to ensure that gMKVToolnix.dll is present in the same directory as gMKVExtractGUI.exe
• Fix progress labels position in JobManager form (thanks kypec)
• Add check on closing in order to ensure that an extraction process does not get interrupted unintentionally (thanks magsood)
• Fix Job Manager form Minimum Size
• Add context menu to Job Manager Form in order to easily reset job states

Enjoy!

Hi,

The download binary name is gMKVExtractGUI 1.6.4.7, in fact it's 1.6.4.0.
When I drag a MKV made with mkvtoolnix-64bit-8.6.1 it complain "Input string was not in a correct format".

Thanks.

Hi, the download binary is 1.6.4 but it's file extension is 7z, so perhaps you thought that the version is 1.6.4.7 while it's indeed 1.6.4.

Using MkvToolNix 8.6.1 works for me so you have to provide more details with your problem. First step would be to paste the results from the Log window.

Sorry! I'm too hurry to report the problem.
Attached was the log and the actual message dialog.

Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to make CDs from some MKVs, and it would be VERY useful to be able to convert XML to CUE format. I need this:

PERFORMER "Electric Light Orchestra"
TITLE "Hyde Park"
FILE "Hyde Park.wav" WAVE
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "01 - All Over The World"
PERFORMER "Electric Light Orchestra"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "02 - Evil Woman"
PERFORMER "Electric Light Orchestra"
INDEX 01 04:29:10
...

instead of this:

Such a feature was requested for my chapterEditor and its on the ToDo list.
The person are used this tool(chap2cue) at the moment.

So sorry for the late response, unfortunately I thoroughly checked the source code and couldn't find where this error might be.
Could you upload me a piece of the video that throws the error in order to properly debug it?

What you are asking is a converter from XML chapters to CUE format. Since the XML chapters does not contain all the information needed for the CUE file, the converter should demand from the user to enter the rest of the information. As you can see, all this is not in the scope of extracting tracks from matroska files, so I will not implement such a feature.
You could use another utility like hubblec4's chapterEditor.

Just a wild guess.
Don't know whether you have already noticed, the log johnsonlam provided contains some question marks (track_name for the subtitle tracks, and file name for attachment id 6), which indicates a very possible text encoding issue.
MKVToolNix used to write BOM for UTF-* encoded text files, but version 8.6.0 of MKVToolNix included a change to not write BOM anymore. The change has been reverted in 8.7.0.
Considering johnsonlam was using an affected version (8.6.1), would it be possible that the problem is caused by that change?
I suggest johnsonlam giving 8.7.0+ a try, to see if the problem still exists.

The only info it may not have is title/performer which can be omited if absent (title could be filename). Basically, INDEX 01 is the position of each <ChapterTimeEnd> with decimals translated to frames. And track TITLE is <ChapterString> (which can be set to a generic "Track nn" if absent). Resulting text file can be edited later if one wants more data in it, but it is a huge improvement to be able to have a CUEsheet of extracted WAV.
