Need help with script to remove forced subs

[WEB-DL]

I have tired to create a python script to identify and remove forced subs. The script identifies the correct sub ids to remove but fails to remove them. Here is the script, anybody have any ideas?

import subprocess
import os
import re

# Get the directory of the currently running script
script_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

# Function to check for forced subtitles and return their track IDs
def get_forced_subtitle_track_ids(mkv_file):
"""Get a list of forced subtitle track IDs from the MKV file."""
result = subprocess.run(['mkvinfo', mkv_file], stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
output = result.stdout.decode('utf-8')

# Enhanced regex to find all forced subtitle tracks by matching the "Forced display" flag
forced_subtitle_tracks = re.findall(r'\+ Track.*?Forced display.*?track ID for mkvmerge & mkvextract: (\d+)', output, re.DOTALL)

# Check for a possible single line description of forced subtitles
if not forced_subtitle_tracks:
forced_subtitle_tracks = re.findall(r'Forced display: Yes.*?track ID for mkvmerge & mkvextract: (\d+)', output, re.DOTALL)

# Convert the track IDs to integers and subtract 1
adjusted_subtitle_tracks = [str(int(track_id) - 1) for track_id in forced_subtitle_tracks]

return adjusted_subtitle_tracks

# Function to exclude forced subtitles in the MKV file
def exclude_forced_subtitles(mkv_file):
"""Remove forced subtitle tracks from the MKV file."""
# Get the list of forced subtitle track IDs
forced_subtitles = get_forced_subtitle_track_ids(mkv_file)

# If there are no forced subtitles, skip processing
if not forced_subtitles:
print(f"No forced subtitles found in {mkv_file}. Skipping...")
return

# Create a comma-separated string of forced subtitle track IDs
forced_subtitles_str = ','.join(forced_subtitles)

# Build the mkvmerge command to exclude the forced subtitle tracks using the -s !
mkvmerge_command = ['mkvmerge', '-o', f'no_forced_{os.path.basename(mkv_file)}', mkv_file, '-s', f'!{forced_subtitles_str}']

# Debugging: Print the command being executed
print(f"Running command: {' '.join(mkvmerge_command)}")

# Run the mkvmerge command and check for errors
result = subprocess.run(mkvmerge_command, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE)

# Print the result of the mkvmerge command for debugging
if result.returncode != 0:
print(f"Error excluding forced subtitles from {mkv_file}: {result.stderr.decode('utf-8')}")
else:
print(f"Forced subtitles excluded and saved as 'no_forced_{os.path.basename(mkv_file)}'")

# Process all MKV files in the current directory
for file_name in os.listdir(script_dir):
if file_name.endswith(".mkv"):
mkv_file = os.path.join(script_dir, file_name)

print(f"Processing {mkv_file}...")

# Exclude forced subtitles from the file
exclude_forced_subtitles(mkv_file)

Python indentation disappears if printed outside of code tags, put your text into a CODE tags.
Example: [ CODE ]your script here[ /CODE ] , no gaps in those square brackets,
so just re-posting it, not correcting it:
