I fix this too.
You really created a monster Garry, I don't use any of all the options except 2 but I sure appreciate all the work you do for everyone else.
I'll need more info?

MKV to FLAC: tagging is somehow broken in 9beta3. Used 8 instead. I'll check out the new fixes next week.
Beta 9:
When I update from the app I get a downloaded zip file that I cannot open for an update.
When I download from your post above #2776 it downloads and I can update perfect. 9--Beta 7.

Thought I would give some feed back as I ripped a lot of discs over the weekend. Beta 9.0.7
I only use two buttons and MMH has many functions that I have never used.
Blu Ray Rips:
I start with MAKEMKV usually rip the Atmos TRU HD, the 5.1 DTS HD MSTR and the stereo either PCM or DTS HD MSTR. Sometimes there are more or less choices.
Next is open MMH.
I start with the button "Split & Rename Concerts" this is solely used for track editing the Atmos file-MKV to MKV.
Note: the new MMH version seems to work faster than before.
I check the JRiver sidecar as I play all my music through JRiver.
Next: Check MusicBrainz for song/track tagging. This seems to work a little harder than before, with the top right button clicking for Blu Ray or Dual Disc etc. I liked it better when before I typed artist and then album and all the choices came down in the drop box.
Overall, I don't know if it is the new button function, but even if I press ALL, the whole thing seems to lag a bit.
I have never used the choice when a song name has Atmos or 5.1 after the song title, I do that in the album description in my MMH tagging.
With using JRiver it does not play gapless with a MKV split into chapters. The work around with this is to keep and add the root file from MAKEMKV, works perfect, except if the onscreen video does not have a track name in the video, I don't know what the name of the song is.
Usually, I split the Atmos into named tracks (chapters) include the root file and after listening if not a gapless album I will delete the MAKEMKV root file from my NAS.
These are my notes: on this one function with the Beta, aside from a little quirky with MusicBrainz, this function works great for me.
I have to go wasn't looking at the clock, I will be back later with my one other function "Extract Audio From MKV".

MMH 9 has an ‘improved’ (smaller) update/download system, but due to my recent work in the QQ NUSs it’s still not fully tested, and I’m not yet creating the small zip updates. The zipped updates will only have changed files, currently MMH updates are always the full installer (around 250MB). The zipped updates can be much smaller.
Last night I got a $54 bill from Microsoft for Feb for traffic. The month I officially release 9 and every user gets notified that’s going to more than double. So getting zipped updates sorted is getting critical moving forward.

I'm sorry to ask again, but is it possible that Music Media Helper could be made available for Linux?
It's great software, and I'd love to use it on here!

Apologies if I didn't reply.
No. The current plan is Windows Only.
If you have a x86 processor: Use WinToGo on a USB stick (free) to boot to Windows and use MMH 9 on Windows. (any all the other Win apps too of course.
Mac users can run MMH by using Parallels or other Window emulation software
QQ Special Edition Media Players are based in Intel NUCs. The can also boot to a WinToGo USB drive and run MMH and any other window progarm they wany, boot to back Linux (the internal NVME SSD) and they run Kodi
Pretty easy and cheap
Final notes from Beta 9. Started with post 2794.
This is using function button "Extract Audio From MKV", I use this frequently, after I am done with my MKV Atmos rips, then it is time for the MKV rips to be changed to FLAC, this would normally be all stereos and 5.1's, occasionally 4.0's. The world of 4.0's seems to be half Blu Ray and half (SACD ripped by SONORE).
The quirkiness of the Musicbrainz tagging is the same throughout. Same as my previous post I would get rid of the tab that shows Blu Ray-Dual Disc-etc, Just type in artist and album and you will find what you need, this new tab seems busy to be busy and really doesn't help the process.
I hate the popup that is new to the Beta, "Your converion will create FLAC files" Note the word conversion is spelled wrong. This popup is unnecessary as once you set the Output Tab to FLAC or whatever it stays forever, I doubt people are extracting audio from MKV other than FLAC?
Skin Colors: I personally like WXI Office White, because I can see the highlights better, click the SAVE button. When I am done with MMH and I close MMH, reopen for the next time it 100% of time reverts back to WXI Darkness.
Final Notes: This post and post and post 2794. I have been using MMH for at lease 10 years, I absolutely love it, I am nit picking certain things but Garry told me that is the purpose of a Beta. In fact if it where not for MMH with the MKV and FLAC capabilities going to my old way with different tagging software, well lets just say I would hate it.
I do read others notes, about all the things that MMH can do, and I am very happy with my two buttons "Split & Rename Concerts" and "Extract Audio From MKV". Occasionally/rarely if I feel a certain speaker needs a + or - I just do it on the receiver end with my remote.
If anyone has any questions from a user of MMH, feel free to ask me, more details, chain of listening, etc.
Thank you Garry.

Linux Mint is my daily driver. I installed a W10 machine in Virtual Box and MMH works perfectly.
@Europa Endlos
Please continue provide feedback Mark. That is why I do the betas. Let a few catch bugs and give feedback, ideas before everyone has issues etc!!
I'm jumping back into finishing MMH 9 now, and will look at all feedback over next week or so.
