In order to better handle the processing of PGS subtitle tracks, I need to get the mkvtoolnix package onto unraid.  I found packages for mkvtoolnix and its direct dependencies.  But when I run mkvinfo, I get a complaint for a missing libmagic.so.1, which I have yet to find.

 

So I am asking for help in finding a package to provide this, and possibly other, libraries.  Alternative, if someone with a development machine could compile a complete package for mkvtoolnix (without GUI) and its dependencies, that would be stellar.

Try here: http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-11.0/libraries/libmagic/4.17.4/libmagic-4.17_4-i486-1as.tgz

I tried, but failed miserably.  While I do think mkvtoolnix would be a great package to have on unraid, but it would require every multimedia codec under the sun to be useful.

Codec's are needed to only change the container?

 

I'm using now ni WinXP to change .avi to .mkv because some avis have bad headers and my Asus O!Pay don't like it. It would be nice if it can be done directly in the unRaid.

Hi all,

 

I'm sorry to resurrect an old topic but I need some help with getting mkvtoolnix to work on unRAID.

Today I'm running mkvtoolnix on a WinXP computer (esxi) with the source file and target file being stored on the unRAID server. It would be better, and a lot faster, to do this on the unRAID server. Is it doable?

 

I'd also like to resurrect this old thread.  Has anyone had any luck getting mkvtoolnix installed and running on an unRAID system?

The absolute best would be if one of the webgui masters on here could make a webgui for it once the back-end was working. Most of the time I use this utility to remove an audio and/or subtitle language track and without a gui it's difficult to determine what track is what.

 

As it is now I have to do this all over the network on another computer and send it back to the server but my server has the most powerful processor in the house so it would be quickest to do it on there.

Also interested here. GJones, would you mind listing out the dependent packages you installed to get this far?

Resurrecting again.

 

Currently doing this script on my Mac:

 

mkdir convertme

for i in *.mkv ; do

mv "$i" convertme/

$FFMPEG -n -i "convertme/$i" -strict -2 -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level 4.0 -preset veryfast -crf 23 -ac 2 -c:a aac "convertme/$i.mp4"

  $MKVMERGE -o "$i" -A -D "convertme/$i" "convertme/$i.mp4"

done

 

I've gotten ffmpeg working on unraid (hooray for statically-linked binaries), but it looks like a cat and mouse game for finding all the packages for mkvtoolnix.

 

Once I get this working, I'm going to consider a mini-repo on S3 for all the disparate packages needed to make it work.
