DropFolders MKV to MP4 arguement?

Post by JDD89 »

Hi Everyone,

First time posting. I am working on setting up Kodi for an HTPC. I have everything up and running except that when I Rip DVDs, Couch Ripper saves them in the .MKV format. I am planning on using DLNA on smart TVs to access the Ripped DVDs and unfortunately .MKV is not a file type accepted by the smart TVs. I came across DropFolder, which sounds like it will work wonderfully, but I am not too familiar with code. Does anyone have the argument needed to take an MKV file located in I:\Temp swap the container to MP4 and place it into I:\HTPC Media\DVDs or if not is there a beginners guide on how to do this.

Thank you for you help.

-f mp4

Handbrake uses -i and -o for input and output respectively. For configuring third party software, refer to third party support.
