After I encode an .mkv from MakeMKV, using Handbrake, the title gets cutoff. I've made a post about this before but never received a response/answer: viewtopic.php?p=198496#p198496
Basically the file will be named something like 'TV Show - S01E01 - Episode 1', after running it through handbrake, the filename appears correctly, but it's title becomes 'TV Show - S01E01'.
Handbrake appears to be cutting off the Episode name while keeping everything else.
Again, the filenames appear correctly but when I place these videos in VLC, they are displayed with their cut off titles and are missing the episode names.
They are always cut off in the same place, very strange.
Also, when looking at the file's details, there isn't anything listed in the 'Title' section. However, the original files, made using MakeMKV, do have a title listed in the file details.
Basically, it would appear that, after running the .mkv through handbrake, it completely removes the title from the file details and the title itself appears cut off when placed in VLC.
Typically, when a file doesn't have a specific title set within its metadata, its title will appear the same as its filename.
For whatever reason, this is no longer working properly for me and I have no idea what caused it.
The files coming out of MakeMKV seem fine. They appear correctly in windows explorer, with the right filename along with a matching title in its file details.
The problems seems to be coming from handbrake and it now seems to be removing file details, specifically the title, from the file's metadata. While the original title appears to be removed from the handbrake encoded .mkv, it will show up when placed in VLC but as a partial title, which is always cut off in the same place.
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
-Produce .mkv using MakeMKV, run file through handbrake.
-View encoded file's details to view missing title.
-Place encoded video into VLC player to view the cut off title.
