Manual post-processing

[RobertSmith8]

This is something what I want to try

But i'm not sure were to start. To begin with a fully automated process is not an option due to subtitles, sometimes i have to wait for subtitle and sometimes it's hard to find subtitle with correct framrate.

For me a perfect solution would be an inbox (mkv +optional srt) and a outbox (m4v +optional org. mkv and srt).

It would be great if I could run this post-processing script on my synology either manual or if the script is watching the inbox.

I'm more or less a noob on Linux so any guidelines would be very much appreciated.

I know what DTS is supported in mp4/m4v, is it possible with DTS passthrough?
I have never succeeded to create a m4v with DTS using subler and playback with DTS on aTV using aTV Flash.
Most of my mkv contains DTS and I have no problem to play them using aTV Flash with DTS sound

in linux I found this http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/24952/script-to-monitor-folder-for-new-files for watching a folder, then you would just need to execute autoProcessMovie.py or postConversion.py passing at least two arguments: the file path and the nzb or file name. You may need to make some other changes as it looks like you are not intending to use this with usenet downloads (based off of your other link to the forums).

It shouldn't be too hard to add the ability to import an SRT file, but you definitely would need an outside script to watch your directory and then pass commands to the appropriate section in this script. So far everything is mostly designd to be called from sickbeard or SAB but you could emulate those command line parameters to achieve what you want.

DTS is already supported, and will be remuxed into an mp4/m4v if DTS is the input and output format.

SRT file importing added with latest commit. Consider it an early alpha feature that needs to be tested, but so far its working on my end. Manual processing is also fully set to go via manual.py
