Is there the capability to add custom Chapter translation?

I would like to add 章 (japanese for chapter).

Hi tormento

Yes you can set your own chapter names via Text Favorites (the button with the yellow star).

Hey hubblec4 I found a problem with a Blu-ray, actually I found this problem before with a couple of other BDs but I can't remember exactly which ones.

When I try to remux one playlist that contains two m2ts files of which one is pure video (some seconds I think) and the other is the full movie I get this error:

And cE doesn't output any file. I tried loading the playlist into MKVToolNix directly to see what happens (I was thinking on requesting this to bunkus as I thought it was mkvmerge's problem) and it successfully remuxed the file, this is the log:

Hi darksen

Yes such playlists are "bad", because in the first (and/or last) m2ts is a video stream only.
You can ignore such m2ts files. When you load such a playlist in BD2mkv you have the option to ignore the m2ts files.
cE can ignore such m2ts files automatically: in the settings yon can set a duration for such files.
Mostly is the duration less then a second. The default duration is 2 seconds.

I'm not sure if mkvmerge can handle such playlist correctly.


It would be nice if you can share with me a chunk of this disc. You can use my DiscShare (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=177187) tool.

MKVToolNix did remuxed the playlist fine, and supposedly -because I haven't precisely compared the times of all the files to see if the ms that the second m2ts file lasts had been added to the final file- it appended the second m2ts file (as per the log).

Here I used the -F param on DiscShare and 7-ziped the files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/iy3d4d6ayvda5ht/mickey.7z?dl=0

With the option to ignore the last m2ts I'm able remux it (I don't know how I overlooked that option).

Thanks!

[hubblec4]

Hi darksen

Thanks for the disc chunk. Like you said, with the ignore option of the last m2ts it works.

[hubblec4]

I got an email from my chapter database provider:


Belegung: 972,7 MB (194,5%)

Limit: 500 MB

** Deine MySQL-Zugänge werden ab dem 15.10.2020, 0:00 keine Schreibrechte (INSERT, UPDATE) mehr haben, sofern der Speicherplatz zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch immer überschritten wird. **


That means the database will work until 15.10.2020.
I work on a fix so fast as I can.

I have 3 options
option 1: buy a web hosting package with monthly payment
option 2: compress the data
option 3: find a free hoster with more sql space

monthly payment is not the way I want to go

[hubblec4]

Here is a Windows (https://forum.videohelp.com/attachments/55063-1601330383/cE_W.7z) and Linux (https://forum.videohelp.com/attachments/55064-1601330383/cE_L.7z) test version (cE.exe only).

I have compressed the chapters and tags files. This should reduce the database more than 80% and decrease the download time vastly.

Please let me know if everything works as expected.

After a little while there is another update.
The database became too big and therefore had to be compressed.

On 10.10.2020 I will delete the uncompressed files,
this means that older cE versions no longer have access to the database.

It's time for an update again.
Some bugs were fixed and I was able to finish a user request.

MediaInfo (https://www.videohelp.com/software/MediaInfo) chapter format:
The wish was to support this format and also to process the text content from the clipboard,
as MediaInfo texts can often be found on websites.

At the moment only the first menu is processed, due to time constraints. But you can copy all other menus individually and append them with CTRL + V.
But mostly there is only one menu.
All chapter names and their language are processed for the Matroska format.

DVD2mkv:
I have an episode on a Futurama DVD which is available in two versions and could not mux it to a multi-mkv,
since the last VOBID only contains a video track. MKVToolNix (https://www.videohelp.com/software/MKVToolNix) cannot process this then.
The whole thing is similar to the "bad" m2ts files on a BD.

[seehazy]

Is there a way to append chapter numbers to an already existing set of chapter names? For instance, if the first chapter is named "Intro" could I edit it to say "1. Intro" and apply that rule to all remaining chapters?

I prefer to have the number and name together as the chapter name. I haven't been able to find a simple way to accomplish this in a GUI. mkvToolnix provides a naming template in its preferences, but there is no way to manipulate the already existing chapter name itself (to my knowledge).

BTW, the ability to convert Mediainfo text into an XML is really useful. Thank you for that!

[yeopot]

hubblec4, thank you for this program. Is it possible for you to make it open source? That would be really great!

Currently no, but I like your suggestion and add it to my TODO list, but please be patient.

Hello yeopot and welcome to doom9 forum.

hubblec4, thank you for this program. Is it possible for you to make it open source? That would be really great!

Currently I have no plans to make cE open source.

Awww ok. Thanks for reply. Hope you will consider making it open source in the future :)

That is a good idea for issues it will make things easier and better, I agree.

[hubblec4]

Hope you will consider making it open source in the future :)

Is there a special reason why cE should open source?

cE code has many "test code" where I try to learn coding and so the code is not clean.
I guess it is a pain to read this code for a good programmer :-)

Good thing I'm a bad programmer then :p

Main reason for me is for learning purposes. I really like how the program works and I'm interested to learn how it utilizes all these specialized tools under the hood to automate many manual tasks easier having both an easy to use CLI and GUI that work quite well. It's an unique program and I actually haven't come across any equivalent open source chapter editing program with as much versatility and usefulness as yours.

Of course I think open source software has many benefits too like it's easier to trust than closed source software, program and code longevity, easier for others to find bugs, contribute code and more.

[Masutin]

seehazy, the numbering of titles can be done in a text editor or similar environment with the support of regular expressions (regex, patterns that can represent one or many characters) of a specific kind, POSIX syntax they might be called. I use TextPad version 5, later versions support another type of regex.
Find: e=
Replace with: E=\i.

[hubblec4]

Good thing I'm a bad programmer then :p

Main reason for me is for learning purposes.
I had also no knowledge about programming, but with Lazarus (https://www.lazarus-ide.org/) it was very easy to learn.
I'm sure there are other easy to learn languages but for me is it important to have no dependencies like .net or java or python or restrictions to an OS.


Of course I think open source software has many benefits too like it's easier to trust than closed source software, program and code longevity, easier for others to find bugs, contribute code and more.

I agree with you.

Apart from the fact that the cE code is not very nice and contains a lot of German comments,
a database password is also hidden in the code.
I wouldn't want to make this password public.

[yeopot]

I agree with you.

I wouldn't want to make this password public.

Why not just remove the password when publishing source code? Also, some open source software I know which use passwords just use a local config file or environment variable to store the password and read from that instead so that may be a better method.

The source file required an extention, in my case, txt. You might want to mention this in the help or add an error message for this.

Hi Masutin

cECLI is very old, and I developed it under Windows 7 and there is always an extension for the files(I thought).
In the first post all examples with files uses an extension for the input files.

But now I know on Linux is an extension not always present.

Could you please add a chapter frame manipulation feature? I could divide the frames by the fps but... you know ;)

A new small update with a bug fix for the Matroska menu editor
and a new feature for chapter naming for Matroska.

Chapter naming: "New Display"

The chapter name and/or the name list as well as the languages and countries are taken into account.
The function is available for the following buttons: Change name and Exit, Change name, Change all and Exit


There are two variants
1. Checkbox fully checked
A new chapter display is always inserted

2. Gray state checkbox
If the name list is used and the existing chapter name in the current chapter
is identical to the name in the list, no new Display is inserted.
However, all new language and country codes will be added.

I have cut the video of a few frames. I’d like to change the chapter line timings of the same amount without having to convert frames to time manually.

[hubblec4]

OK, I think I understand.
But cE can't know what the FPS is of your video.

The Cut-feature works with times only for the moment.
OK, there is already a FPS section, but you have to set the correct FPS.
Maybe I could add this feature, when I combine the FPS section with the Cut-feature. But you have to set the source and target FPS to the same value manually.

Of course I would set the correct FPS ;)

Or maybe I add a new source FPS Combobox to the Cut section. I will think about it, and have added to the TODO list.

[hubblec4]

Hi tormento

Here (https://forum.videohelp.com/attachments/58754-1620335627/cE.7z) is a test version of cE for your feature request.


I decided to keep it simple so as not to have to add new components.
You have to use the Source-FPS from the FPS-Section. Source and Target FPS should be the same (but do not have to be).

Simple add an f at the end -> 123f (or -123f for the Move function).

You should set the FPS before you enter the frame number, otherwise
you have to change the input in the edit fields to re-calculate the new move or cut time(s).

[tormento]

Here is a test version of cE for your feature request.
Thanks, it works!

[darksen]

Is there any way to change the background color? It hurts my eyes when I change windows to cE and see all the white in there. I've been looking for it but we can only change the bar colors right?

[hubblec4]

Hi darksen

I guess you use a dark mode (Windows) and some of the components should also be black.

I'm not sure if there is a global background color for the entire cE is possible.
The XBar colors can be changed because I use a simple panel with speed buttons. But some other components are controlled by the OS.

In my Windows 7 classic view is the "background" gray and the Treeviews and other lists are white.

Could you make a screen shot and show me which section should be dark?

[darksen]

Hey, yes, I use the dark theme in Windows and in all the apps I can. I think that these two parts (and in reality all the white parts) should be darker:

https://i.imgur.com/FPadhU2.png

I'm not talking about necessarily black but a less brighter color than plain white. It is more noticeable when you use a big screen to work (I use a 40" TV as monitor), for example, changing from this window:

https://i.imgur.com/XqYhcIe.png

To chapterEditor disturbs the eyes. So having them in grey or a darkish grey color would be fantastic.


EDIT: Also, could you please expand a little on this:


Checkbox gray state: If names from the name list match the chapter name,
no new Display is inserted. Only new language and country codes are added


When a box is in grey? I'm asking because there are two states when I check the box, the first is that it's checked with a square and the other is a check but in none of them the box is in grey.
Thank you.

Wow, so different in different OS's. Like I said all this section are grey here.
I don't know if I can fix this easily. It seems to me I have to add ever a Panel first, which can change the color independent from the OS.
But this would be make a lot of work. I have also started to read about Dark-mode in the Lazarus apps.
I will try to do something but I can't promise it.

A checkbox has normally 2 states: checked and unchecked. But there is a third state, called gray-state.
The gray-state is like undetermined -> not checked and not unchecked.
The word "gray" has nothing to do with the color of the checkbox.

On my Win7 looks the gray-state of the checkbox indeed grey. On Linux it is also a bit grey, but looks totally different to Windows 7 and also Windows 10.
That is/was also the reason why I have insert my own checkbox icons at some places, to simulate a checkbox which looks ever the same on the OS's.

Yes. The OGM specs says the chapter number starts with 0.
I did not know, thank you!

Another question: is it possible to join 2 chapter files? Zack Snyder's Justice league comes as 2 BDs but I want to join the encode in a single file. No problem for video and audio but how can I join the 2 separate chapter files?

Hi tormento

You can load the first chapter file and append the second one. Then select the first chapter of the second chapter file and adjust the timestamps with the Time-Edit-Tool.
Choose for the Action Range "All chapters from the selected ...." and as time shift set the play duration of the first video.

Thanks, will try!

I have tested the Dark-Mode in my Win7, and cE is using the dark colors from the OS.
It seems it should work when you change colors in the OS for your Theme.
But I have no idea how and where this settings are in the OS.

Thank you so much for your tool. I have some MPLS that combine multiple episodes (individual m2ts files) and I wanted chapters for these individual episodes but needed something that allows me to remove preceding and following chapter entries but with automatic timecode adjusting.

I may only need it for this one project but do you have a donation thing?

Hi an3k

...something that allows me to remove preceding and following chapter entries but with automatic timecode adjusting.

Such a feature exists, called "Split Chapters".
In the GUI you will find it in the Feature-Bar or you can use the CLI of cE.

No, not at the moment.

Hey, I'm trying to upload a chapter file and I'm getting this error:

The following error occurred:

TMySQL56Connection : Error executing query: Field 'm_langietf' doesn't have a default value

[hubblec4]

mmh that's bad.

I'm currently change all to the IETF language and this takes a lot of time because it is a lot of work.

I will set a default value for this field, so that the current cE versions work again.
