Media-Management-Scripts

A collection of scripts I use to manage my media.

python/mkvtoolnix-batch-py

Based Serde's Batch Script Here: https://github.com/Serede/mkvtoolnix-batch

Windows Script to batch process the renaming and taging of mkv tracks.

It has a few improvements such as:

  • Python so it could work on other os's with some small modifications
  • Error Checking for extra track instructions and default flagging
  • automates the removal of the --output and () lines by usiing part of my script HERE

Dependencies

Usage:

  1. Download MKVToolNix
  2. Open mkvtoolnix-gui.exe.
  3. Add any of the MKV files to be processed (drag-and-drop works just fine).
  4. Perform your changes within the GUI (disable tracks, rename tracks, set default tracks, etc.).
  5. Go to Menu Bar > Multiplexer > Create option file, and save it as 'options.json' in the same directory where all MKV files to be processed are. You can then close the GUI.
  6. Download The script and place it where your media files and options.json is.
  7. If your mkvmerge.exe is not in C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix Edit the script and replace the value of the variable mkv_tools_location with your path to mkvmerge.exe

NOTE: Be sure to leave both sets of quotes and escape your backslashes!! ex:
mkv_tools_location = "'C:\\Program Files\\MKVToolNix\\mkvmerge.exe'"

  1. Run mkvtoolnix-batch-py.py by running python3 mkvtoolnix-batch-py.py in a command prompt within your directory.
  2. Wait for the multiplexing process to complete. Processed MKV files will appear inside the Mkv-Merge-Out directory.

If an error is detected by the script it will put that filename in a text file named FIXME.txt
This is mostly caused by unaccounted for media tracks existing in other files besides the first one, audio commentary files are a common example.

This is not extensively tested be sure to check your finished files regardless!!

python/Filename-Replace-String-py

A very simple script that removes a specific string from a filename for all files in a directory. This is useful if you only need to remove a part of a filename.

Dependencies

Usage:

  1. Download the script and place it in the same directory as the files you want to rename.
  2. Run the script with Python3 python3 Filename-Replace-String-py.py
  3. Enter the string you want to remove in the console

python/sub-audio-merge-py

This script helps you merge audio tracks or subtitle tracks into one mkv file. It can also append a language code and track description For example:

Attack on Titan S01E01 - To you in 2000 years.mp4
and
Attack on Titan S01E01 - To you in 2000 years.srt

will become:
Attack on Titan S01E01 - To you in 2000 years.mkv
With both tracks included inside the mkv container.

Dependencies

Usage:

  1. Download the script and place it in the same directory as the audo or subtitle files.

  2. BE SURE the files have the same name besides the extension ex:
    Attack on Titan S01E01 - To you in 2000 years.mp4 and Attack on Titan S01E01 - To you in 2000 years.srt

  3. Download MKVToolNix

  4. If be sure it installs to: C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix

  5. run the script with python3 sub-audio-merge-py.py
