Incorrect handling of forced only tracks

Post by Chetwood »

AFAIK there are (at least) three methods for forced subs:

1. a separate track that only has forced subs
2. a separate track that has only forced subs but is not flagged (subs are turned on by navigational commands)
3. a general track that also has several items which are flagged as forced.

The problem with 1 is, that if you have checked the track as well as the forced only checkbox, MakeMKV will include the track twice rather than dropping one instance (as it does with forced only tracks that turn out to be empty). In such a case also the conversion profile appears to be ignored. E.g., if the BD has two German tracks (one regular, one with forced subs only) this conversion profile

-sel:all,+sel:(deu|eng|nolang),-sel:(core),-10:deu,-15:forced

should result in this track order:

german forced
german

or rather due to the bug mentioned above:

german forced
german forced
german

but MakeMKV authors it like this:

german forced
german
german forced.

Would be nice to see this fixed, I can upload a MakeMKV Testdump of such a BD if necessary.
