Need help with default selection rule.

Post by voip-ninja »

I'm trying to create a default selection rule so that when I select a title on a disc, only the title I click on is selected, instead ALL of them get selected.

Additionally, whatever I did resulted in now all language and sub tracks are getting selected... I only want english subtitle and audio tracks.

Can anyone help me with what this statement is supposed to look like in order to accomplish the above? What I am using that is not working is below.

-sel:none,+sel:(favlang|nolang|single),-sel:(havemulti|havecore),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang

The selection rule applies to tracks within titles. The default behavior of MakeMKV is to select all titles at least as long as your minimum title length.

To get rid of multiple titles selected, you can RIGHT-click on the left hand menu, and select "unselect all", then select the one title you want.

And your default track selection rule does say to rip (almost) all audio and subtitle tracks, regardless of language.

Okay, thanks. What is the default selection rule if you may?

I can't really tell you - mine has been customized for so long that I don't remember what it started out as.

Here is the section of the default profile that ships with MakeMKV:

Code: Select all

    <!-- Settings overridable in preferences -->
    <profileSettings
        app_DefaultSelectionString="-sel:all,+sel:(favlang|nolang|single),-sel:(havemulti|havecore),-sel:mvcvideo,=100:all,-10:favlang"
    />
If you have not set a favorite language, it will respond differently than if you have one.
