MKVToolNix v87.0 released
2024-09-07 — mosu
Heyo! here’s a small, new MKVToolNix release, v87. Not a lot going on, to be honest. See below for details! You can download the [source code](https://mkvtoolnix.download/source.html) or [one of the packages](https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html). The Windows packages and macOS disk image as well as the Linux AppImage are available already. The other Linux packages are still being built and will be available over the course of the next couple of hours. Here are the [NEWS](https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/NEWS.md) since the previous release: ## New features and enhancements - mkvmerge: chapters: added support for specifying MPLS files with `--chapters`, too, not just as regular source files. The documentation stated this was possible already, but that wasn’t actually the case. Implements/fixes [\#3735](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3735). - MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: added a progress dialog that is shown during file identification. - MKVToolNix GUI: jobs: the status bar now differentiates between numbers of warnings/errors that occurred in the current session and those that occurred before the current session. Implements [\#3732](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3732). ## Bug fixes - mkvmerge: AAC parser: LOAS/LATM streams: if the first `AudioSpecificConfig` element is not found within the first LOAS/LATM frame, `mkvmerge` will no longer discard the frames before it but defer parsing them until after it has found the `AudioSpecificConfig` element. Fixes [\#3727](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3727). - MKVToolNix GUI: job queue: fixed the GUI crashing when re-ordering the jobs in the job queue. This regression was introduced while fixing [\#3720](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3720). Fixes [\#3729](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3729). Have fun!MKVToolNix v86.0 released
2024-07-13 — mosu
Heyo 💝 MKVToolNix v86.0 is out. There were several bug fixes, most notably around the handling of timestamp files. That was code I hadn’t touched for… a decade, maybe. Quite the trip. A couple of enhancements were also made; see below. You can download the [source code](https://mkvtoolnix.download/source.html) or [one of the packages](https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html). The Windows packages and macOS disk image as well as the Linux AppImage are available already. The other Linux packages are still being built and will be available over the course of the next couple of hours. Here are the [NEWS](https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/NEWS.md) since the previous release: ## New features and enhancements - mkvmerge: Matroska reader: track statistics tags are included in the JSON identification output just like other tags had already been included: as part of the track properties, prefixed with `tag_`. Implements [\#3714](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3714). - mkvmerge: MPEG TS reader: mkvmerge will now detect teletext subtitle tracks even if they’re not listed in the PMT as long as it can find teletext pages flagged as subtitles in the header within the probed ranged of the file. Implements [\#3650](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3650). - MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the default mode for escaping the arguments in the “Show command line” dialog can now be set in the preferences. Partially implements [\#3709](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3709). - MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the “Show command line” dialog now includes the command lines for all currently open multiplex settings, switchable with a combo box. Partially implements [\#3709](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3709). - MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: some users add the option `--regenerate-track-uids` to the “additional options”, even though `--regenerate-track-uids` is a file-specific option, and you can only use global options in the “additional options”. However, the GUI currently doesn’t have an option for specifying additional file-specific options. The GUI now detects the use of this option in the “additional options” & adds it for each of the source files instead. Implements [\#3707](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3707). - MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: the option `--regenerate-track-uids` has been added to the “additional command line options” dialog. See [\#3703](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3703). - translations: added a Norwegian Bokmål translation of the man pages by Roger Knutsen (see `AUTHORS`). ## Bug fixes - mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks, mkvmerge will no longer set a default duration for the track. Partially fixes [\#3711](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3711). - mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks, mkvmerge will no longer queue frames longer than necessary, which resulted in the frames sometimes being written much later than they should have been according to their timestamps. Partially fixes [\#3711](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3711). - mkvmerge: when using timestamp files for subtitle tracks, mkvmerge will now write the packets’ duration properly. Partially fixes [\#3711](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3711). - MKVToolNix GUI: job queue: the shortcut from the “Job queue” menu are now enabled correctly whenever the number of jobs in the queue changes (e.g. by adding new jobs). Fixes [\#3720](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3720). Have fun 😁MKVToolNix v85 released
2024-06-02 — mosu
Heyo! MKVToolNix v85 is out. It’s just a tiny bug fix release so that users affected by those bugs don’t have to wait too long. You can download the [source code](https://mkvtoolnix.download/source.html) or [one of the packages](https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html). The Windows packages and the Linux AppImage are available already. The other Linux packages are still being built and will be available over the course of the next couple of hours. Please note that due to technical reasons I haven’t been able to build the macOS disk image yet. I don’t know when I’ll be able to fix it. Here are the [NEWS](https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/NEWS.md) since the previous release: ## Bug fixes - fixed compilation of `src/common/sorting.h` with certain compilers due to the deprecation & removal of `std::result_of<>` in C++20. Fixes [\#3695](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3695). - fixed compilation with the `gtest` library when `gtest` requires additional libraries by querying `pkg-config` for the correct flags & libraries to build with. See [\#3696](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3696). - MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: restored the keyboard shortcut for switching to the “Attachments” tab (Alt+C for the English interface). Fixes [\#3702](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3702). - MKVToolNix GUI: multiplexer: fixed several cases when the keyboard shortcuts for copying the first source file’s name/the destination file’s name to the title (Ctrl+F & Ctrl+D) and the one for copying the title to the destination file name (Ctrl+T) were not enabled. Fixes [\#3705](https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/3705). Have fun 😁Older posts
