[hubblec4]

Many thanks for the fast fix for "dialog normalization gain removal".

Hi Mosu

I have some question about attachments. When I use MTX-GUI and add an attach file the MIME-Type is set automatically.
But when I create an mtxcfg can I scan/identify the attach file and mkvmerge tells me the MIME-Type?
When the MIME-Type is not set in an mtxcfg file, set mkvmerge this value automatically?

There's no such functionality. However, you shouldn't need it that functionality as mkvmerge does indeed derive the MIME type automatically if it isn't set. The GUI allows for the MIME type to be empty, too, even though the drop-down box doesn't contain an empty entry. You can, however, simply remove the MIME type's name manually.

That sounds great, thanks for your explanation.

I have a new PC and now the mtxcfg file have one line only. What was the way I have to go, so that mtxcfg file is human friendly readable?

[Mosu]

The environment variable "MTX_JSON_FORMAT" has to be set to "indented".

[hubblec4]

Thanks. After restart MTX it works.

That was not correct, I have to restart my PC. Why is this option so "complicated" to set up? Is there no way to have an option inside MTX?

[Mosu]

Regular users simply don't need this. It's meant solely for developers.

You could set this option inside your code so that you won't have to change it manually.
In .NET you can use "Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable" and "Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable" in order to manipulate environment variables, I am pretty sure you could find the equivalents for the language you use.

Thanks for this info, but I don't need it inside my code.
I don't use MTX-GUI since my chapterEditor is ready, but to see if my mtxcfg file is correctly created, I need the MTX-GUI to check this.

Lazarus can also work with the "System Environments" but I don't like to set options in the system directly (like Windows registry).
chapterEditor stays portable and will never touch system entries, all settings can be stored in files.



@Mosu
What is with Linux and mtxcfg file, I think there is no environment variable which I can setup up, or?

Huh? Of course you can set environment variables in Linux. Where exactly depends on the shell & desktop environment the user uses.

[hubblec4]

A suggestion. MTX uses an ini file, could you add there an option for this task?
Init is 0 for disabled human friendly readable and 1 for enabled.
A developer can change this setting easy and fast, and most important you don't have to restart the system.

Open command line window, set the environment variable, and start mkvtoolnix-gui.exe from that window. This should do the trick.

[Mosu]

I really don't see a reason to do anything in this regard. Setting an environment variable is trivial; logging out & back in again suffices; you usually only have to do it once per installation. And that's for the very few people who actually need that feature.

Hi I've had to do OS re-install with Windows 2008 Server R2. I re-installed Mkvtoolsnix but now Mkvtoolsnix-gui.exe refuses to open. Mkvtoolsnix-gui ran fine before the OS re-install. Mkvmerge continues to work as my Ripbot264 still runs fine. I'm sure there must be a .dll dependency problem. I'm either missing or have the wrong versions of the necessary .dll's. Does it require a specific VC runtime version?

[Mosu]

It requires the Windows Media Foundation libraries to be installed. See this FAQ entry.

[tkwou]

Thanks, I have Media Foundations installed with media streaming role installed. I'm getting "the program can't start because api-ms-win-core-libraryloader-l1-2-0.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem"

[mkver]

Sounds like your Windows installation is corrupt. Run "sfc /scannow" in an elevated command prompt.

[tkwou]

I've already done that and it's passed verification.
