I'm searching for a script for MKVmerge to organise TV-Shows...

[Samuel Vergeiner]

Hi,

I have a lot of TV-shows on my hard drives. And now I decided to bring some organisation into all the junk that's located on my hard drives. I had a look at MKVmerge but I could never possibly do all that manualy. There must be some way to write a script that asks me for information like: name of the series, how many seasons/episodes per season, wich audiotracks should stay, the name of the audiotracks and so on. Is it possible to do that? If yes, would somebody share his knowledge with me?

Example:

I have the file "S01E01.mkv".

It's videostream should be named "The Walking Dead - S01E01" also the File/segment title should be named that way..
1# Audio English/Englisch
2# Audio German/Deutsch

In the script the phrase "The Walking Dead" should be given by me of course, where "S01E01" is the filname itself already.

Thanks in advance!

I would say yes.

should be given by me of course

Not necessarily. You could use SET /P in a batch script to prompt for user input to be put into a variable. However, if your files is in a folder named "The Walking Dead" you could use "Variable with modifiers" to create the file (&segment) name.

As for the audio - just leave them. The info in the created MKV is as in the original. You could start using MediaInfo CLI to test for audio language(s) and prompt if to keep or modify - but way too complicated and slow IMO.

And then use FOR either to call a batch job that handle a single file or build it in a batch job that call mkmerge with the new file/segment name.
