I mean what disc/album/movie release do you get the problem? I want to try a replicate the issue.

Spider-Man: Far From Home

 

[The Pink Floyd]

Hello,
I am wondering if this program can be used simply to add chapters to MKV files that don't have any. I don't want to split them or create cue sheets at this time. I just want to add chapters so I can go to the songs. Is that possible with this program?

 

[Bill Sherbon]

Yes. I've never done it myself, but after starting, the 3rd button is "Chapter Editor". The description says (bold added), "Create & Edit Chapters in a MKV, MKA, MP4 or M4A file. Create CUE file. Change Default Audio stream".

Yes the Chapter Editor tool allows a user to create chapters and set their start times and chapter titles (song titles). Refer to the PDF docs for more info.

What should I do?

What should I do?

You can try the decode again and take some screen shots of your MMH Decoder settings.

If it fails again can you please check this folder for any files:
C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\AppData\Local\Temp\MMH

Take a screen shot showing the filenames and file sizes. Then please post your Decoder settings and the temp folder file screen shots here or PM them to me.

Have you tried Audacity? (Free tool)

Ocenaudio is a nice editor as well. Available on multiple platforms.

I did try that and while the chapters showed up, they were undetectable on my Oppo. I decided to run the MKV file showing the chapters through MakeMKV and the chapters are now recognized by my Oppo.

So to clarify, I created the chapters on the MKV with MKVToolNix. Then tested the file and the chapters were no recognized. I put the file in MKVToolNix to verify they chapters were still there and they were. Then I ran the MKV file through MakeMKV and the resulting MKV now has the chapters.

Am I missing a step in MKVToolNix or doing something wrong that would make the marks invisible to the Oppo?

@NCFan1999

Can you please tell me the size of the two files in the Temp\MMH\Decode folder? (right-click 'Properties")

Do you have enough spare space on the Source folder? (where your source mkv file is stored).

Can you please screen grab the MMH Atmos Helper 'Decode' dialog (so I can see your settings).

Does MMH Atmos Helper show any messages?

 

[HomerJAU]

I edited your post quoted above to what I think your meant to say. Is that correct?

Its possible your Oppo requires a language code in the Chapter Name. MMH does not add one. (just a guess)

Spider-Man- Far From Home_t00.mlp: 2.78 GB; Spider-Man- Far From Home_t00.wav: 22.2 GB

Do you have enough spare space on the Source folder? (where your source mkv file is stored).
Yes, almost 2TB left.

Can you please screen grab the MMH Atmos Helper 'Decode' dialog (so I can see your settings).
Where do I find that?

No

 

[HomerJAU]

Just grab the dialog you use to decode your MKV file. That will show the output settings you use.

It’s also possible your path length is too long so you could try renaming your source MKV file to something smaller like Spiderman.mkv

Tried shortening the filename and it still didn't work.

 

[HomerJAU]

Please try a 7.1.4 decode to mono WAVs.

It worked.
Just to be on the safe side; hopefully, you'll fix this issue with the next update.

 

[HomerJAU]

I tested MMH Decoding on the release here today and working perfectly all all variations (7.1.4 and 9.1.6 mono and MCH)

The only thing different is my mkv (not exact copy of yours but from same disc) and the full very long/complex path name you have. So first thing is for you to rename your folder to something simple without .org etc
