Bash Script To Extract Subtitles From MKV file.

well ,some times I prefer to do things using the command line ,especially when logging into my server remotely ,so I created a little bash script to help me extract subtitles from mkv files using mkvextract ( you have to install  mkvtoolnix-cli) , still , the file extension need to be added though.

nano sub-extractor.sh ###paste the following filename="$1" if [[ $filename ]] then m=$(mkvinfo $filename|grep 'No EBML head found'); if [[ $m ]]; then echo "This is not a valid mkv file"; else echo "proceeding..."; mm=$(mkvinfo $filename|grep -i -A 2 -B 2 subtitle); if [[ $mm ]]; then echo "subtitles found, proceeding..."; mmm=$(echo $mm|grep -o 'mkvextract: [0-9]*'|grep -o '[0-9]*') arry1=$(echo $mmm|tr " " "\n "); for m in $arry1 do mkvextract tracks $filename $mmm:${filename:0:-4}"_"$mmm; done else echo "no subs"; fi; fi; else echo "no file name given"; fi;
