chapterEditor(Chapter-Database Disc2mkv Matroska-Tools[Tags,Menu,Multi-MKV])+CLI

[vertigo220]

I've used just about every video player out there, at least most, if not all, of the major ones, and while some support multi-editions, some/most don't. But, more importantly, when using something like Kodi to stream from PC to a device (e.g. Shield TV), it's not supported, so only the first edition in a file can be played. Because of this, I try to put which edition I prefer first, but that may change, or I may want to watch a different one for whatever reason, so it would be nice to be able to quickly shift them around.

The split mode you mentioned is all I could find that seemed like it would work, and I've been messing with it a bit today, but just based on what I've seen so far not only is it complicated trying to figure out what to do with everything once it's split to try and rebuild the file with the editions switched, but I'm not sure if it's even possible. And, since you mention it's not safe, I'd rather not risk it. Thanks anyways, and hopefully software will just become more compatible with it, though it seems unlikely at this point.

Yeah, hardware support for Matroska is very poor.
I also set my favorite edition at first place. So I can/could watch it on all devices (but I only use PC for playback).

The multi-Edition split mode is very simple. After loading an MKV you have on the right side all Editions.
Deselect unwanted Editions, use split mode "Extract edition(s)" and hit Split Multi-MKV button, that's all.

Not 100% safe means it works most of time, maybe 90%.
Try it out and check the transitions, if the video is not hanging, all is fine.


I have search for long time a bit about KODI, and I found some code enhancements which deals with Ordered chapters.
But when you said it is not working....mmmh bad KODI^^

The best Matroska Playback software is, what uses LAV Filters.
VLC is unfortunately too buggy.

[hubblec4]

Sometimes the players supports Ordered Chapters but uses only the first Edition, and a bonus case if the Default-Edititon-Flag is supported.

If Default-Edition-Flag is supported you can simple change this value, else you can simple swap the Editions.

chapterEditor(cE) rev1.33 is available.
Windows
Linux


It is time again for a new update.
A small fix for splitting OGG/OGM and multiAVCHD chapter files,
and some innovations are included.


The old GUI language system was replaced by the .po files.
Italien was added as a GUI language and already partially translated by bovirus.


Since Mosu already supports the new Matroska Editions elements, I have now installed them.

The chapter database will not be available for a while because of maintenance work.
A new cE version will come soon.

[hubblec4]

chapterEditor(cE) rev1.35 is available.
Windows
Linux


This is a larger update for the Chapter Database.
All older cE versions no longer have access.

So far there has been the "Email" field when creating an account.
This was originally planned as a second security concept, but I never installed it.
There was also no review of whether the Email address is correct, and also not whether it exists.

Nevertheless, this is rated in Germany as a collecting of personal data and has not been so easy allowed since this §DSGVO.

Since I have no interest in personal data, everything that had to do with "Email" was removed.



There are now over 1000 users, what I would never have thought, and so I had to close a security gap.

Communication ran directly via the SQL components and unfortunately the password of the database was also included in the cE.exe.

From now on, a (my first) REST-API is used to communicate with the database.

Like always with "first" things, that can contain errors.
Therefore, please test the new REST-API and report if you feel there is something strange.


There are also a few improvements for sorting.

Is it new that this ( windows ) version needs OpenSSL libs ? And if yes, is it on purpose the these libs are not included in the archiv, perhaps because of copyright problems ?

And there is a typo in the german menu translation, it shows "Kapitel Datanbank" instead of "Kapitel Datenbank"

After downloading the openSSL libs seperately, everything works fine

[hubblec4]

Hi NanoBot

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes the host Lima-City uses "https" which needs OppenSSL.

For coding and testing I had used an other host which uses "http".
I will check this.

The typo should be easy to fix. You can do it by your self with PoEdit.


EDIT: typo is fixed for next rev.

I was happy to remove to SQL lib and I thought I don't have to include other libs.
On my Win7 and Linux Mint all worked and I'm sure I have nothing installed of OpenSSL.
But I guess on Linux it is there out of the box and maybe a third party tool has installed OpenSSL on my Win7.

Can you please share the download link of the OppenSSL lib which you use?

[NanoBot]

I downloaded the OpenSSL Libs from here:

https://indy.fulgan.com/SSL/

and used the newest 32bit version offered

openssl-1.0.2u-i386-win32.zip

[hubblec4]

Thank you.

I guess this helps other users to find quickly a solution if cE not work.

For the moment you are the first and only one with this issue.
What a Windows do you use?

[NanoBot]

Windows 10 Pro 22H2 19045.2364

And the error message about missing the openSSL libs only appears when the "Database" button on the left is pressed.

Mmh.... Win10 has no OpenSSL out of the box?

I guess you have the "automatic login" activated, therefore the issue appears when you hit the "Database" button.
Otherwise the issue do only occur when login.

Not the only one, but it now works.
The two dll files just have to be placed in the cE directory.
Maybe, if one has OpenSSL on system they need to copy the dll files to the directory.
P.S.
Database never worked for me till now.

Good to know it works.

I have no dll's copied to cE folder and it works. That confuse me a bit.

With the old SQL database version it don't worked for you?

[PyragriC]

Hello,

Same problem here with W10 Pro.

I had cE v1.32 and it worked fine then the SSL error appears.
I've installed v1.35, put the 2 dlls of openSSL into cE folder but the SSL error still appears.

[NanoBot]

Did you take into account that you have to use the 32bit version of the dlls, even if you are using a 64bit OS ?

For me it is working with
libeay32.dll version 1.0.2.21 size 1.380.864 bytes
ssleay32.dll version 1.0.2.21 size 337.920 bytes

[hubblec4]

Hi PyragriC

and welcome to Doom9.

Can you try this lib. I think this are the dlls which NanoBot mentioned.

Correct, but it my have been something in my system.
It works now, so all is good

[hubblec4]

OK.
The better that it works now and you can use the database.
