We now have the latest mkvtoolnix-28.2.0 release, backported from upstream Debian, in our test repository. It should also bring in updates of libmatroska and libebml.

Those that want to use the GUI should install mkvtoolnix-gui.

Matroska is a new multimedia container format, based on EBML (Extensible Binary Meta Language), which is a kind of binary XML.

The mmg tool is a graphical user interface for the mkvmerge program, which allow one to create Matroska files from other formats.

This package also contains a graphical version of the mkvinfo tool, which allow one to get information about a Matroska file.

Please let us know how it's working so we can move it to main if it's qualified.

Enabled the test repo to check. It should, but it doesn't.

mkvtoolnix (version 25.0.0-1~mx17+1) will be upgraded to version 28.2.0-1~mx17+1
mkvtoolnix-gui (version 25.0.0-1~mx17+1) will be upgraded to version 28.2.0-1~mx17+1

And that's it. I searched for those upgradable two files it should bring in, but nope.

libmatroska6v5 stays at 1.4.9-1~mx17+1
libebml4v5 stays at 1.3.6-2~mx17+1

Those libmatroska and libebml packages are from the test repository, but you already had them installed for the previous backported mkvtoolnix. I should have thought about that case, but...

*giggle* Ok then! *thumbs up*

Used the MX Package installer to install mkvtoolnix and mkvtoolnix-gui v 28.2.0-1 from the test repo.

Launching either mkvtoolnix-gui or mkvinfo I get:

Code: Select all

mkvtoolnix-gui: symbol lookup error: mkvtoolnix-gui: undefined symbol: _ZN11libmatroska22KaxVideoProjectionType10ClassInfosE

So, I whipped open synaptic and located libmatroska6v5 v1.4.5-2, which indicated it needed and upgrade. I executed the upgrade.

Relaunched mkvtoolnix-gui and "voila", the gui appeared as normal.

I opened a 26GB mkv, and demuxed a DTS audio stream, chapters, subtitles, and mp4 AVC h.264 stream. Converted the DTS to AC3. Then remuxed the streams without any errors.

Just used it today to split an mp4 file, went peachy as well :)

Hmmm...apparently it doesn't automatically pull in the new libmatroska like new packages normally do.

It says it depends on libmatroska6v5 (>= 1.4.5) when it really needs 1.4.9. I'll see if I can manually add the higher dependency.

apt policy libmatroska6v5

The latest 31.0.0 mkvtoolnix and its -gui package are now in the test repository!

Posted: **Tue Apr 30, 2019 2:09 pm**

Updated to the latest 33.1.0 release in the test repository!

Posted: **Sat Jul 13, 2019 9:58 pm**

I had 33.1.0 installed and when the new version was announced I tried to update to it. There was an error about the old gui version still installed. So I plurge all of it. This is what I get trying to install the mkvtoolnix_35.0.0-1~mx17+1_amd64.deb & the mkvtoolnix-gui_35.0.0-1~mx17+1_amd64.deb.

Thanks--looked like the man page got installed in the new location as well as the old, so I'll roll a new version later tonight.

That will be great. MXPI shows mkvtoolnix installed but not mkvtoolnix-gui. I check late on Sunday since I use it a lot.

Posted: **Sun Jul 14, 2019 4:13 pm**

I just uploaded the "mx17+2" fixed packages, so hopefully they'll be in the test repo soon. They are here if you want to try installing the two debs with the Thunar right-click action. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OGfTo ... jyb2hWmh3z

I think you have the other backports already installed they need from the test repo.

When I saw this I checked and it was in MXPI, so I tried it there. Basicly the same error as before. So I'll show what the program showed, and what I did and got it to install.

I had went to the la-mirror and got the 33 version and installed it, which worked fine while waiting for the 35 version.

So used MXPI to update to the 35 version and received this error.

I did open the program and it showed this.

I then tried the install again and it worked. So something is still wrong with the update when going from 33 to 35 version. Hop this helps to figure out why.

You still show the mx17+1 version coming from the repo, not the fixed mx17+2...

I think I have an opp's moment as I had to many versions of the console output and copied the wrong one. Sorry, I've deleted all of them, so unless the console saves the last one some where, out of luck.

I do have the +2 version installed. I can give you a screen shot of MXPI if you want. The other question is, I could remove the 35 version and reinstall the 33 version to do it again if it would help. Let me know if you want me to do it?

I just tried the install from the test repo and it worked on 64-bit. Try uninstalling both mkvtoolnix and mkvtoolnix-gui, then upgrading both of those at once from the test repo.

My last comments on this.

1. If you have mkvtoolnix_33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1_amd64 and mkvtoolnix-gui_33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1_amd64 installed it will Not update to the 35.0.0-1~mx17+2 versions with out errors.

2. The program tells you that there may be errors if you use it as the GUI is still the 33.v version while the rest is the 35.0.0-1 version.

3. If you remove the GUI and then the command line part it will install with no errors.

4. Just as a test I remove both and then rebooted. Installed both 33 CL & GUI, tested that it works.

5. Tried to update it to the 35 version and ended up with the same cross versions.

6. Removed them and the 35 version installed with no errors. I did a test and it seems to work find.

7. Do you want the output from the console when I tried to do the update?

8. If there is anyone else that has an older version installed, I would tell then to remove first and then install it.

Posted: **Mon Jul 15, 2019 5:00 am**

Let's see what happens here.. I have mkvtoolnix_33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1 and mkvtoolnix-gui_33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1 installed. Note the lack of _amd64 (I am on a 64-bits system).

Upgrading using test repo says it will upgrade to 35.0.0-1~mx17+2

Code: Select all

mkvtoolnix (version 33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1) will be upgraded to version 35.0.0-1~mx17+2
mkvtoolnix-gui (version 33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1) will be upgraded to version 35.0.0-1~mx17+2

I get this in a popup:

The gui package is left with broken dependencies and there are three auto removables:

Removed both faulty mkvtoolnix and -gui using completely remove, and installed both using the test repo. No errors. Program starts without issues, currently multiplexing something.

Those autoremovables are nowhere to be found in the status window now, though I did nothing with them. They've disappeared. *shrug*

I thought that we would want to find out why the new version did not replace the old version as it should.

I have upgrade mkvtoolnix from the test/repo a few times and this is the first time there were errors.

When mkvtoolnix_35.0.0-1~mx17+1_amd64 + GUI came out there were errors on the GUI side. Even with a purge of all mkvtoolnix the GUI part would not install. Thats why the -mx17+2 was done. While waiting I installed the old version as noted in other post.

Before 'stevo' said he installed with no errors, I had the mkvtoolnix_35.0.0-1~mx17+2_amd64 plus the GUI version installed with no errors.

That's when I did all the steps in my other post, to see if the new version would replace the old version and it does not. It did install the C/L version but not the GUI. The one thing I did not try was just removing the GUI and then Installing the new GUI version.

I don't know if it worth the effort to fix or as 'stevo' said and 'Eadwine Rose' prove and I've shown, remove the old version before installing the new.

35.0.0 is backported from upstream Debian, which is the first update from there since 31.0.0, and the packager decided to switch the location of the mkvtoolnix-gui man page with this release. I think this can be fixed by having this release break the older packages.

Just in case No one knows yet.

Code: Select all

# Version 36.0.0 "Is That Jazz?" 2019-08-10

## New features and enhancements

* mkvmerge: mkvmerge now allows appending AV1, VP8, VP9, H.264/AVC and
  H.265/HEVC tracks whose pixel dimensions differ. Implements #2582.

## Bug fixes

* source code: fixed building with Boost 1.71.0. Fixes #2599.
* all: fixed the spelling of the H.264 & H.265 codec names.
* mkvmerge: Blu-ray MPLS handling: mkvmerge will now find corresponding M2TS
  files even if the `clip_codec_identifier` playlist item field is not set to
  `M2TS` in the MPLS file. Fixes #2601.
* mkvmerge: fixed handling of text files that use both DOS-style and
  Unix-style line endings resulting in problems such as text subtitle files
  not being parsed correctly. Fixes #2594.

It would be nice to have it updated. No big rush. Thank you.

It's in Debian Sid now, so I'll take a look.

Thanks Stevo.

There is also this.

Building a DEB package for Debian/Ubuntu

Building binary packages for Debian and Ubuntu either from my Git sources or from a release tarball is pretty easy. The following steps assume that you're not root but may use sudo.

You can find it here.
https://mkvtoolnix.download/source.html#building

What ever is easy to do, works for me.

Thanks, but we have the deb build process handled pretty well by now. I even cut some kruft out of the Debian Sid build process! (don't know why they use quilt when it doesn't need it).

I sent it up to Tim to get into the test repo when he gets a chance, but the packages are here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1oQz2d ... KkS0-O2YFA

I suggest you use the Thunar or Dolphin right-click action to install the two debs for your architecture at the same time instead of gdebi, which can only do one at a time.
