[HELP] 'Can't use mkvmerge without knowing it's version!' error when adding a job to queue
#1
Hi Selur,

I'm a log time Linux Hybrid user.
In the past I had problems with old Debian ffmpeg versions.
Now I'm on Arch, so old versions are not a problem anymore. Big Grin

I recently downloaded Linux64bit Qt 5.9.5 version, the Hybrid 2020.10.11.1 version.
This is the first time I'm using it.
I successfully loaded a blu-ray, adjusted all settings in video (to encode a x264), audio (passthrough), subtitles, chapters, mkv tags, folder destination and mkv file name.
When I click to add a job to the queue Hybrid shows this message:

Quote:Can't use mkvmerge without knowing it's version!

And no job is added.

I verified under 'Config > Tools' that path to mkvmerge is correct, and when I click in 'Tool Versions' it shows mkvmerge under known versions.
I clicked in 'Clear all cached tool infos' and restarted, with no effect.

I don't have a complete debug, this is the part of the debug when I click in add a job:

Please let me know if you need further information.

I saw that a Mac user reported a similar problem some time ago that you said it would be fixed in current version.

Thank you for your support!Please, read the 'Infos needed to fix&reproduce bugs,..'-sticky before you post about a problem.

What do you get as output if you call:
mkvmerge --version
Normally there should be something like:
mkvmerge v51.0.0 ('I Wish') 64-bit
as output.

Strange.
Try resetting your tool versions ("Config->Tools->Clear all cached tool infos"), restart Hybrid and call check the detected tool versions (Config->Tools->Tool Versions).

Well...

I had already done this, clear cached tool versions and restart.
But as you asked, I went to repeat that.
I before that verified which versions was Hybrid showing, and to my surprise Hybrid reported no cached tool versions!

I cleared cached tool versions for the second time and after restarting now Hybrid shows correct cached tool versions.
And I can now add a job to the queue.

So the (no) problem is resolved.
Cool

Thank you!
