Description
Is your enhancement request related to a problem? Please describe.
When muxing something with mkvmerge it outputs the current progress in percent.
The current implementation of mux does not seem to support that information, which would be great to have, especially when running async or when muxing large files.
Describe the solution you'd like
Having an event function in the main object, which returns the progress, which is called when new progress information arrives.
Example:
mkv = MKVFile('/path/to/file.mkv')mkv.remove_track(0)mkv.mux('/path/to/output.mkv', gui.set_current_progress)
or
mkv = MKVFile('/path/to/file.mkv')mkv.remove_track(0)mkv.connect_event_new_progress(gui.set_current_progress)mkv.mux('/path/to/output.mkv')
Implementation steps
- Look at the output of mkvmerge and find a way to grab that information
- Interpret that data
- Add an event function which is called on new progress and returns that data
- Add a variable to hold the connected function and a setter function to connect an external function to that event function
Additional context
I implemented something similar a few years ago, which still works, but the code is more a proof of concept, than a good implementation. It can be foundhere.
That function is used in combination with a gui progress bar.
Let me know, if you want help implementing this and the enhancement request from yesterday.
