[HELP] managing audio & subtitle from many videos

[weyb06]

Hi,

as I don't know what can do Hybrid (I just understood it can encode multiple input files & that is smthg I really need), I'm trying to use it as I feel it - & not always with luck, so I do mistakes

so, if i resume my objective :
- 8 episodes
- video passthrough
- 1st audio track (fr) : passthrough like you described
- 2nd audio track (eng): encode from e-ac-3 to ac3
- eng subtitles : passthrough like you described

so i did what you wrote :

• set Base->Processing->Audio to 'auto add (all)'
  
• restrict 'passthrough alll' to 'fr' by enabling 'Config->Automation->Passthrough streams->Limit audio ...' and enabling only 'French'
  
• enable ''Config->Automation->Passthrough streams->Subtitle',
  
• enable ''Config->Automation->Passthrough streams->All subtitle ...' and select only 'eng'
  

• Load the sources 
  

then to encode the english track :

• audio-> base-> audio source :
  

1. select "source" = number of file
   
2. select "track" = 2-eng
   

• audio encoding options -> encode :
  

1. audio format = ac3
   
2. choose bitrate
   

• add to audio queue with "+"
  
• repeat with all the input files
  

then base -> add to job queue

Results : it seems to be ok ! I have to see on Kodi if it's ok...
I never said that Hybrid can't do what I'd like, I just don't know what it can do, and if Hybrid can, I surely don't know how to do it...

Question : is there a way to tell Hybrid to encode the 2nd track automatically with 'automation' (or smthg else), like we did for the french track, to avoid to select each episode 1 by 1, or not ?

NOTA : when we agree of the "how-to", i'll do a tutorial (like the 1st I sent you last week )

regards
