Will think about it. Seems like a lot of hassle.

Think I might have found a solution with almost no hassle  

Was looking through the Documentation for mkvmerge and realised that Hybrid doesn't actually do anything to change the original attachments in any way (unless there's an option to change a cover picture I've missed?): why not just create an mkv file with only attachments:


Then simply append it to the Hybrid processed file at the end of encoding:


Then delete the processed & attachment files... Done?

Since matroska uses UID the attachment shouldn't conflict with anything Hybrid might have wrote.

Should neatly bypass having to deal with processing fonts, etc all together.

Did a quick test myself an it seems to work fine with no side effects that I can spot.

Am I overlooking anything?

a. Hybrid doesn't always use mkvmerge for muxing, but also ffmpeg.
b. Hybrid throws out attachments with 'application/octet-stream' type. (No this will not change, this is intended.)

-> Will think about it in case there ever comes a case where the current handling is a problem.
Atm. it still seems too much hassle to implement this without if having any real effect.

This would be the final step in making an mkv file, Finished afterwards other than deleting, not sure where ffmpeg comes into it?

Removing them at the end is a one-liner, don't even need to search for it programmatically:

Was trying to reduce the amount of work that Hybrid needed to do, but less hassle is understandable.

Hybrid does not always use mkvmerge for mkv multiplexing.
mkvmerge sometimes has problems when muxing some raw formats which ffmpeg handles properly.

Send you a link to a dev version via pm, where I added:
a. an option to create sub-folders per job (Config->Paths->Create sub-folder per job in temp path)
b. one can right click on a job and 'clear temp folder', if the name of the temp folder is the same as the jobname the folder will simply be deleted otherwise everything in the folder will be deleted, but the folder itself will be kept.

Only did a few tests, so there could still be some issued with this.
Since you handle mkvs with lots of attachments you also might want to call "Config->Paths->Clear custom fonts folder from time to time".

hmmn, seem to get random some part missing msg's when queueing then this:
[attachment=1490]

Also, not sure if related but the remaining Job queue seems to get randomly sorted every time I start Hybrid?

Quote:hmmn, seem to get random some part missing msg's when queueing then this:

That message is due to the changes, it happens when Hybrid want's to get a short file name from the OS for a file that does not exist.
-> a debug output would be helpful.

Quote:Also, not sure if related but the remaining Job queue seems to get randomly sorted every time I start Hybrid?

-> I can reproduce that so I'll look into that.

What does change the order of the jobs or the subjobs?
Got an example?
The jobs should be sorted by name

Manually Sorted:

[attachment=1495]
Close program then open program:
[attachment=1494]
Close program then open program:

[attachment=1493]

I found the issue with the sorting, will send you a fixed version.
Jobs should now be sorted alphabetically on save and reload.
-> will send you a link to a dev version in a few minutes.

Will look at the debug output this evening after work.
