Description of TV episode missing

MrGrackle

I mentioned this in the Season Mod thread that I was noticing the description of the episode does not get added to the final MKV file.

Fast forward to 7028 or newer, we now have the option to analyze only the single season. The result is the same, the TV show episode does not get added to the final output file.

Pick a show, any show, add the season to you My Stuff list.
Make sure SF is set to analyze single seasons.
Click on the show.
Select an episode and download it.
The episode will not have a description.

Unsure if this is only an MKV issue.

Are you checking with MediaInfo?

I don’t get description, I get synopsis.

Synopsis : After nine years with dreadlocks, a man experiences a spiritual awakening and visits a barber to cut them off.

I just picked a random show and random episode, like suggested. And I use mkv (mkvtoolnix).
So I can’t say what’s what.

ADDED: I did check older downloads of shows, and it is description so something changed in StreamFab.
Maybe an update at one time to mkvmerge? Or at one time I think I used mkv (ffmpeg).

ADDED #2: Ok, did mkv (ffmpeg) and get Description.

Stan001 I don’t get description, I get synopsis

Stan001 ADDED #2: Ok, did mkv (ffmpeg) and get Description.

It’s already here

And of course Single-season analysis change nothing on my end ..
.. so the new topic is complete useless

Sorry Germania I did not see that post.

Obviously you are right, it’s not the Amazon mod or the switch SF added for single seasons.

Could be also MrGrackle used the mkv (ffmpeg) and switched to mkv (mkvtoolnix)

So a simple switch to using mkv (ffmpeg) will give MrGrackle the Description back.

I use Plex server to get all that info for all my movies and shows so I did not know such a difference existed between ffmpeg and mkvmerge.

In Media Player Classic, the program description is in the “Clip” tab. It’s blank until I use a matedata editor.

I can switch to FFMpeg to see if that fixes it. I assume that would mean I am switching to 8 month old code? MKVToolnix should be able to handle description data just fine so apparently they found a way to break it.

I will reiterate though, this function seems to only be broken on AMZ.

[UPDATE] – Switching from MKVToolnix to FFMpeg on other services changes the name of the video tracks. On NF for example, instead of a simple clean look, it adds extra crap.

Second Update. The synopsis descriptions do work correctly on AMZ with FFMpeg. Still not liking the GPAC crap though on the NF side of things.

I will ask the dev to check it. Seems that VLC will be crashed with the downloaded Netflix AV1 video
