2 years ago @weaverm I'm sorry you're having this problem but, honestly, I don't know what you mean. Please include here the exact set of options you're using for other-transcode and, more importantly, the output from other-transcode.bat --scan on your input or the output from MediaInfo on that input. Thanks.

other-transcode --x265 --main-audio 2 --add-audio Commentary --add-subtitle Forced=forced --add-subtitle SDH /path/to/movie.mkv
The resulting output does not contain the subtitle track named Forced Subtitles. It only contains SDH Subtitles.
When I use this command other-transcode --x265 --main-audio 2 --add-audio Commentary --add-subtitle Forced --add-subtitle SDH /path/to/movie.mkv I get an output file with both subtitle tracks.

2 years ago @weaverm Thanks! I understand what you're doing now. You're trying to add a subtitle by track name and at the same time set the forced disposition. But that's not allowed. The --help output explains that setting forced disposition requires that the track must be added by number. The reason why it's not allowed is because specifying the track by name could result in multiple tracks being selected. And that won't work because only one track should ever have the forced disposition set.
Does that explain the behavior?

2 years ago Thanks for the clarification on the reasons. However, is not including the subtitle track at all the intention? I would’ve expected the subtitle(s) to be in the output, just without the forced flag set.

2 years ago @weaverm When the argument to --add-subtitle didn't begin with a number then the entire argument was interpreted as a track name. And since there was no track named "Forced=forced" then nothing was included. That's actually a feature and not a bug. :)

2 years ago Ahh… I understand. Thanks.
I was about to open a bug to report than when using
=forcedwith--add-subtitlethat other-transcode was dropping that subtitle and not adding it into the resulting .mkv file. Then, however, I realized that what wasn't working was--add-subtitle name=forced, which is exactly what the documentation says. Apparently it only works as--add-subtitle 1=forced, which I failed to realize.However, when trying to add a subtitle with a name and set it
=forced, other-transcode seems to silently drop the subtitle track in question from the output all together. Is that intentional? I would've expected the subtitle would be added by name but just not have the forced flag set in the output.
