Scrtipt to use mkvpropedit to change title

[mkr10001]

I've got a script to change the title of the mkv to that of the file name but it's adding the extension as well. Does anyone know how I can make it ignore the extension

This is what I'm using at the moment

for %%x in (*.mkv) do mkvpropedit "%%x" --edit info --set "title=%%x"
pause

I think this will work:

for %%x in (*.mkv) do mkvpropedit "%%x" --edit info --set "title=%%~nx"
pause

That's spot on thanks

do you know how I can make it work by putting it in folder and have it go through all the folders and do all the mkvs? I've never liked trying to do loops with bat files

Here's batch file I have that converts all m4a files in all folders/subfolders (from where the batch file is located). You should be able to adapt it for your purposes:

dir/b/s *.m4a >m4alist.txt
for /F "delims=;" %%F in (m4alist.txt) do "g:\program files\ffmpeg\bin\ffmpeg.exe"  -i "%%F" -f wav -ac 2 "%%~dF%%~pF%%~nF.wav"
del m4alist.txt

It uses dir/b/s to build a list of all the files, walks through that list, then deletes the list.

I went ahead and did it...

dir/b/s *.mkv >list.txt
for /F "delims=;" %%F in (list.txt) do "G:\Program Files\mkvtoolnix\mkvpropedit" "%%F" --edit info --set "title=%%~nF"
del list.txt

del list.txt

Brilliant. That's spot on. Thanks

Yes that was slick and here's the simple way to do the loop all the way through, much easier than creating a list file with delimiters.

for /R <DIR> %%x in (*.mkv) do mkvpropedit "%%x" --edit info --set "title=%%~nx"
pause

That will auto loop through the <DIR> tree, obviously if you are doing it interactive you only need 1 % in each place and no pause:
for /R <DIR> %x in (*.mkv) do mkvpropedit "%x" --edit info --set "title=%~nx"

I'm wondering if I should post mine. It's a bit big and sets all the track names too, plus it requires a silly little program I wrote that taps into the mediainfo dll. I tend to set TV episodes numbering as - SSxEE - but it shouldn't be hard to modify the batch. The problem with setting the Segment Title to the file name is that there are a few characters the file system doesn't allow so of course they're removed from the name. As a final step I generally run a powershell script that finds all the relevant info in the MediaCenterMaster data files and happily sets the Segment title with the full character set (and sets some basic tags as well, at least the ones I think are safe).
