How to add count of subtitle elements to video metadata for MediaInfo?

[elprice7345]

Many of the video files that I’ve acquired from various sources have srt/subrip subtitles included in the mkv file as a text stream.

Most of the time MediaInfo will display a count of the number of subtitles as for example “FromStats_FrameCount: 693”.

I now have some files with srt subtitles where MediaInfo doesn’t display the subtitle count.

How can I add this information to the mkv file?

Do any of the MKVToolNix tools do this?

Thanks in advance!

How do I do that?

Via the muxing GUI:
1. Open MKVToolNix GUI
2. Drag&drop your file into it
3. Click "Start multiplexing"
That's it.

MKVToolNix also includes a CLI tool that can add the statistic tags in-place. Example:

mkvpropedit --add-track-statistics-tags "file.mkv"

Or for a complete folder:

for %a in (*.mkv) do mkvpropedit --add-track-statistics-tags "%~a"

Thanks for the help and pointing me in the right direction!

Both methods worked: the simple remux and the mkvpropedit, with the mkvpropedit method running faster.
