1010dvpt / mkv-validator Goto Github PK

Hi,

how would one be able to use this in a Linux environment ?

i already have mkvalidate for Linux

Thank you

Thanks for making this script, it's just what I was looking for to scan all my video files with mkvalidator instead of doing them one at a time.
Unfortunately, the log file it outputs (for me at least) is gigantic and filled with useless strings of characters. I've uploaded a sample here. And notice that all those lines filled with things like \r............................................................\r aren't actually new lines, it's just the added blank space and word wrapping that makes them look that way.
That makes it even harder to fix/read the log. For example I scanned 100 movies and got an output with 100 lines and 2,935,662 characters. And there are many different garbage strings, so I can't just find all occurrences of a single string and delete it to make the output readable. The garbage strings vary in length and characters, for example: \r\r\n', b'\r\r\n', b'\ \r\r\n'] ''\r\r\n", b'..............................................................\r etc., and they all include different amounts of white space before and/or after. And I don't know enough about Python to figure out what's causing this strange output.
I'm running Windows 7 SP1 x64 and have Python 3.6.1 x64 installed. I ran mkv-validator v0.5.1 using your script in PowerShell, and the output there looked perfectly normal and didn't have any garbage strings.
