Anyone have any further input regarding Makemkv profiles/conversion profiles?
It seems the MakeMKV profile/conversion profiles have to be placed in the .MakeMKV directory and then the ripper settings/arm.yaml file needs to be updated to have MKV_ARGS: use /home/arm/.MakeMKV/insert profile name...
So in my case it looks like this "--profile=/home/arm/.MakeMKV/pcmflac.mmcp.xml"
After correcting a conversion profile series of errors I can confirm ARM will use a proper MakeMKV conversion profile. Only issue I noticed is the app_DefaultSelectionString= parameter within the profile was ignored. I had to add it back to the settings.conf file.
By doing this, the logs indicate this profile is being used however, everything I want this profile to do is not working. This is either a profile issue or ARM/ARM's installation of MakeMKV doesn't process these profiles correctly. I will test this profile and other profiles further to attempt to determine what is or isn't working and where/why.
I have the profile located in the same directory as the abcde.conf. I have pointed to it with the MKV_ARGS option and nothing seems to work. I have used --profile=/etc/arm/config/pcmflac.mmcp.xml and "--profile=/etc/arm/config/pcmflac.mmcp.xml" as the MKV_ARGS: option.
There's a separate settings.conf file located in the.MakeMKV directory which absolutely respects anything added to app_DefaultSelectionString=
However, I do not know if or how to populate the settings.conf with MakeMKV profile/conversion profile info as the profiles use XML and a specific structure... apparently.
From what I can tell, the profile needs to be in MakeMKVs data directory which is the .MakeMKV folder/directory within ARM but I have no idea how to point to it with the MKV_ARGS yaml option,
