Deselect subtitles by default

Post by xorsyst »

Is there any documentation on the default selection string? I've been looking but can't find it.

What I'd like to do is:
  • Not include any subtitles
  • Only include the first audio stream
Can someone help?

TIA

The documentation for selection rules is pretty much in the Advanced MakeMKV usage section of the forum. You can tell MakeMKV to not pull any subtitles, but grabbing a specific audio track is not possible by the rule alone.

Thanks. After some messing around I came up with this:

Code: Select all

-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang),-sel:mvcvideo,-sel:subtitle,-sel:special,=100:all,-10:favlang
Which deselects the subtitles and the directors commentary, which is what I was really after.

The is no way to tell the diretor's commentary from other audio tracks since it's not marked in any way. In some cases it has lesser audio quality but there's no flag or anything.
