[BUG] Incorrect range signalling

[r3dfx]

Thanks. 
I think I found another bug, where configuration, that's used for a job is incorrect: it uses old config, from the time when you select a file. You're trying to add a job, but it uses old config and the only way to refresh that - is re-import a file... Going to create a separate thread for that if this isn't an intended behaviour

[Selur]

No clue what that means.
Can you give a more detailed description?
Some settings only have an effect while loading a source, this might be correct.

Ok, I'll try to reproduce this behaviour and make a video

[Selur]

Uploaded a new dev version which hopefully fixes the 'overwrite output luminance' problem.
About the other problem: Like I wrote, I need details on how to reproduce this.

Well, time for round 3, I guess
The issue still persists in latest March 3 dev buld...
A part of the batch processing log
Still reports "Color range                : Limited", even though in Hybrid I have "Luma: pc"
This bug alone makes batch processing literally unusable, since i need to drag&drop each file manually if I want to retain correct color range tag

That seems wrong, color matrix should never be pc.

[Selur]

Debug output doesn't contain the analysis of the source, so no clue where the problem comes from.
I need detailed instructions on how to reproduce this so I can fix it.

ARGH,.... the whole start seems useless,..

in both cases the calls Hybrid uses look correct and ffmpeg reports that pc scale is used.


Looking at the muxing call in the log:

"--color-range 0:1" is wrong!
see: https://mkvtoolnix.download/doc/mkvmerge...olor_range
it should be 2.

=> I'll create a version which will output more debug output during the creation of the muxing call, maybe that will help to find the problem.

That seems wrong, color matrix should never be pc.

I thought pc == rec.709. I got "pc" color matrix frequently...
Do i need to run a single file and send you a full log? I thought I started debugging before import, sorry

Updated the dev version, which changes a few things that might fix the problem.
Note: If you have "Config->MKV tagging" and "Config->MKV tagging->VUI->Range" enabled any detection and overwrite setting for luminance is ignored when muxing to mkv with mkvmerge, since you specifically said to signal XY for the mkv container.
