Mkvmerge split video failed #473
Description
Description:
When I executed the split video command with the -m flag to use mkvmerge an error is shown. Without the -m flag then with ffmpeg it works normally.
Command:
scenedetect -i "E:\Videos\D Real\AR. Park - AR.Flying FREE!(1080p_H.264-AAC).mp4" split-video -m -f $SCENE_NUMBER
Output:

Thanks for the report, indeed this is a bug. As a workaround, if you specify an output directory for the
split-videocommand with the-o/--outputyou should not hit this bug. To use your working directory just set-o .as in:Can you let me know if the workaround is successful?
Looks like this was introduced in 6f76961 when fixing #298 and #359.

Yes, I confirm that with the addition of
-o .the command workedBreakthrough commentedon Jan 21, 2025
This should be fixed by 3ee41b5. I also found a few other issues with the filename templates that I've resolved in some follow up commits.
These fixes will be included in the next release (v0.6.6). Thanks for the report!
