| | 16 | Note that mkvinfo reports ChapterSegmentUID, and that the OP and ED chapters' ChapterSegmentUIDs match with their respective files' UIDs. |
| | 17 | Recommended solution for searching: Provide 2 new options: |
| | 18 | 1. -searchdir <directory path> (search directory recursively for .mkv and .mka files until all needed files are found) |
| | 19 | 2. -extfile [uuid:]<file path/URI> (If uuid is specified, keep track of this URI and use it if a chapter requires that UUID. If unspecified, read the EBML header from the URL and do the same) |

| | 21 | I'm not partial to the names or the arg formatting, but the functionality seems useful. -searchdir would be useful for simply transcoding a local file (perhaps default to the dirname of each input file?); -extfile would be useful if the user knows which files will be required, or if ffmpeg is being called programatically by a system that knows paths of multiple remote files and has metadata about them (e.g. a transcoding media server). |
