[arch-general] Mkvtoolnix-gui/cli
Hi. After the latest "pacman -Syu" I'm having a weird issue, I've upgraded the mkvtoolnix package, and I seem to have lost the "mmg" program. This was a gui for mkvmerge basically but with a nice featureset and I was using it heavily for editing home videos I'm making with my smartphone and other stuff. Looking over the official site, mmg seems to be active still, while it's totally missing from the arch packages. I've tried downgrading the package from the cached packages, but I'm getting weird runtime errors, probably depending on a different library: Warning: Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected. The library used 3.0 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1008,wx containers,compatible with 2.8), and your program used 3.0 (wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1009,wx containers,compatible with 2.8). And when merging files, I'm getting errors about timestamp mismatches among the mkv files, although I've not changed the way I'm encoding the videos, this might be related. I'm hoping it was simply missed from packaging. I'll compile the program myself if needed, but maybe it's an oversight. Any info is welcome. Thanks! :)
Hey,
After the latest "pacman -Syu" I'm having a weird issue, I've upgraded the mkvtoolnix package, and I seem to have lost the "mmg" program.
mmg (the old GUI) has been superseded by the new GUI (MKVToolNix GUI) which in turn has been part of official MKVToolNix releases since 8.0.0. The old one's been removed in 8.4.0. Now about Arch packaging: there are four open bugs already for this[1] as the Arch package doesn't include the new GUI yet. Additionally there has been a thread about this on this very mailing list a couple of days ago[2]. That thread includes proposed PKGBUILDs that include the new GUI. You can give those a try.

Thanks, I understand now, I'll look into it! On Oct 4, 2015 10:13 AM, "Moritz Bunkus" <moritz@bunkus.org> wrote:

This will be fixed sometimes during the week, I currently have no internet connection except at work. I will push updated packages as soon as I have working internet at home. Cheers, -- Maxime

I've tried compiling it from source. I've compiled it, but no GUI support, must be missing some libraries for QT5? In any case, not so much an issue anymore, I'll just use mkvmerge: mkvmerge -o bla.mkv file1.mkv +file2.mkv +file3.mkv [...] The GUI will still prove useful, once it's packaged.
