[Improvement] Please add support of the UNC path about mkv-muxing-batch-gui HOT 8 CLOSED

Even if this GUI supported UNC, are you sure the underlying mkvtoolnix backend tools will support your UNC path? Can you use that same path with mkvtoolnix directly?

See : https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/-/issues/3058

Next version of mkvtoolnix will be using boost to fix support for UNC in mkvtoolnix.

from mkv-muxing-batch-gui.

According to the mkvtoolnix release notes the UNC issue is already fixed.
Version 74.0.0
Bug fixes:
all: Windows: UNC paths of type \?\C:\… are supported again by switching back to Boost's file system library instead of using C++17's file system library. Fixes #3058.
JFYI

@valentinfltv
That version was not released when I posted.

I am the one who requested that fix from Moritz before you even post this issue.

JFYI.

Implementing that feature back then in mmbg was meaningless, that is what I tried to say. Now it it makes sense. Tho you should note we are not out of the woods yet. See release notes for the next yet-to-be-released version of mkvtoolnix. The bugfix had a bug.

@valentinfltv
doesn't UNC should start with "\\" instead of "\" UNC Paths
Can you be more specific where this happen in input paths [video ,subtitle,...] or output path[video destination path]?

@eddilara Oh I see...
Will close this until getting more clarifications

from mkv-muxing-batch-gui.

@yaser01 sorry for the delayed answer, here are some details:
The single '' at the beginning of the given link example is just a mistype.

So, when set the UNC path as Destination path, MKV Muxing Batch shows "isn't a valid path" error, see the screenshot:

At the same time, latest available MKV merge exports files to the same path without issues:

I'm not a big expert, but if update mkv merge (is it moritz edition?) in the MKV Muxing Batch tool and remove check from the gui part (probably the one that located in /packages/Tabs/MuxSetting /MuxSetting.py) - it will accept UNC paths.
