No DTS tracks found

[exxogene]

Dear dcthomson,

i like your great script and it works for me for some time.

But now it do not find any DTS inside the mkv files anymore. When i use the -vvv switch it says "No DTS tracks found". This happens regardless of the mkv files i try to convert, even with the test files provided by you.

I run the script on Win7 x64 with Python 2.7.8 and ffmpeg-20140711-git-0089fb7-win32 and mkvtoolnix-amd64-7.0.0.

Here are the options i use in the mkvdts2ac3.cfg:

aac = True

aacstereo = True

default = True

external = True

force = True initial = True

keepdts = True

mp4 = True

new = False nodts = True

no_subtitles = True

overwrite = True recursive = True

test = True

debug = True

I haven't edited the mkvdts2ac3.py. I've put python, mkvtoolnix and ffmpeg in the windows path variable.

Maybe i have messed something. Do you have any idea what is broken in my setup?

Thank you. /exxo

I ran into the same problem yesterday, trying to convert the test files.

After some investigation, i found that mkvtoolnix 7.x versions report the dts track as: TRACK ID 1: audio (DTS)

mkvdts2ac3.py is searching for a track as following: TRACK ID 1: audio (A_DTS)

I have tried fixing it by adjusting the code, but no luck. I'm not familiar with the code and don't have time to get familiarized with it, so maybe the author can figure this out.

The solution to the above is all quite simple though! Just downgrade your mkvtoolnix. I randomly grabbed version 6.1.0 and it's working as it should. Might be worth noting that I'm running all 32-bit versions (python, mkvtoolnix, ffmpeg-static).

Not best practices, but don't have time atm to look into this so I took your word for it and changed the conditional statements to look for DTS or A_DTS. Going to close this bug, but if there are still problems just reopen it, and I'll take a look sometime in the next week or two.

I tried that, works so-so.

It did remux the dts track to ac3, but failed on joining them again if I remember correctly. Now that I think of it, perhaps it is trying to join it as a A_DTS whereas it should be DTS with mkvtoolnix 7.0.

Before your new commit i changed (like Blaapje) A_DTS to DTS in your script.

In Step 2 mkvextract references to A_DTS:

Container format: Digital Theater System (DTS ) Progress: 100%

Step 3 is broken:

Downgrade to a older version of mkvtoolnix wasn't succesfull, outcome is same error message "No DTS tracks found".

Then i tried your new commit but it havn't fixed the inital issue, same error messsage like before. I'm happy to test it if you have time investigate this again.

Thanks for your efforts anyway.

[dcthomson]

So I installed the new mkvtoolnix, and fixed the strings it is looking for. Everything seems to be working for me now. Can you guys confirm that? Else I'll just close the issue in a couple days if I don't hear anything.

Small parameter error on issue #11 en_US is not supported as a parameter, in stead use "en". Using "list" will return all available languages. You didn't get this exception?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mkvdts2ac3.py", line 650, in process
    output = subprocess.check_output([mkvinfo, "--ui-language", "en_US", ford])

After adjusting this it works like a charm with mkvtoolnix 7.0

Works for me now, thank you everybody!

Any idea how I would get this working on a synology (currently got it working in windows test env). On my synology I run all of my automation including radarr and nzbget both in docker containers although i could install NZBget nativly if required, I couldn't find a way to install mkvtoolbox other than in a docker container also and as such I don't know how to find its path to enter in to the script variables..

Currently i get the following error;

When I try to do this I get the following error in my nzbget log which seem to suggest its the paths i need to work on?
