📝Notes

> [!NOTE] >1. Leaving destination folder empty will lead to overwrite source videos a popup will shown to confirm this action. >2. When the option [make this subtitle/audio default] is activated with language/track that does not exist in the source, then the option will be ignored. >3. When the option [keep this subtitle/audio only] is activated with language/track that does not exist in the source video, then the option will lead to output video with only chosen language/track (even if it means to discard all subtitle/audio from the source). >4. When using Modify Old Tracks in video tab, the following options: (make this subtitle/audio default, keep this subtitle/audio only, mux new subtitle/audio in desired position) will be disabled/limited. >5. When using mux subtitle/audio at same position for the same track type, they will be added respecting to the order of all other new subtitles/audio. >6. In every tab/dialog you can reorder tracks using shortcuts Ctrl + Up Arrow / Ctrl + Down Arrow except for: (Attachment/Muxing Tab).

⬇Downloads

The MKV Muxing Batch GUI is compatible with Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11 32-bit/64-bit and most Linux distributions. You can download it from the project's releases page.

For Linux Users

The deployed app available in downloads only support glibc 2.35 and above like: Ubuntu 22.04/up , Mint 21.2/up, Fedora 38/up and others [i can't test them all] Before starting the app, install the following libraries [not always needed as most of them included in the app]:

sudo apt-get install -y libpugixml-dev
sudo apt-get install -y libmatroska-dev
sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0

Using Python Code Version

1. Clone the repository :git clone https://github.com/yaser01/mkv-muxing-batch-gui.git.
2. The main branch use PySide6 library on version 6.6.1 which is tested on python 3.10.8 working good and only supporting x64 systems.
3. If you want to use on x32 systems you should switch to branch develop-PySide2: git checkout develop-pyside2 which uses PySide2 v5.14.0 and tested in python 3.8.10.
4. After selecting the branch just make sure to use the mentioned python version as it's guaranteed to work perfect.
5. Just run pip install -r requirements.txt.
6. Then run python main.py and you are all good :D.
7. You may use python3/pip3 instead of python/pip depending on your system.
8. For linux users if you want to use another python version from the one that is already on your system it's recommended to use pyenv,if you didn't hear about it, you may read this.
9. Also, for linux users: as this app depends on mkvtoolnix it's very recommended to install it on your system before run the app from here.

Updating The MKVmerge version

You can manually update the mkvmerge version the app uses, but do this only if you're sure of what you're doing, as it may require a reinstallation:

# Navigate to the app's installation directory, e.g. on Windows:
"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\MKV Muxing Batch GUI"
# Go to Resources\\Tools\\ [your operating system], and replace mkvmerge.exe and mkvpropedit.exe with the newer version you have

> For linux users it's recommended to just clear Resources\\Tools\\ [your operating system] folder and then install mkvtoolnix on your system from here and the app will automatically detect it.

🙏Attribution

• The application relies heavily on MKVToolNix, so a big thanks to them.
• Thanks to my friends who helped test the app and offered numerous ideas.
