Any chance to make it so it only changes the language on files that report back as "und"?
Hello, thx for this PS, if possible help me with how get func change track name. Thank you
Here is the script if you want to do the same thing but leverage the Handbrake CLI. Open Powershell as Administrator then run the script with PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\Users\Username\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_HandBrake_profile.ps1
`$sourcePath = "C:\Video-File-Directory"
$handbrakePath = "C:\Program Files\Handbrake\tools\HandBrakeCLI.exe"
$videofiles = Get-ChildItem $sourcePath -Filter *.mp4 -Recurse
$filecount = $videofiles.Count
$i = 0
ForEach ($file in $videofiles) {
$i++
$origfile = $file.FullName
$newfile = $file.DirectoryName + "" + $file.BaseName + ".mkv"
$progress = ($i / $filecount) * 100
$progress = [Math]::Round($progress, 2)
Clear-Host
Write-Host "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
Write-Host "Handbrake Batch Encoding"
Write-Host "Processing - $origfile"
Write-Host "File $i of $filecount - $progress%"
Write-Host "-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
$args = "-i `"$origfile`" -t 1 -o `"$newfile`" -f mkv -O --decomb -e x264 -q 22 --pfr -a 1 -E av_aac -B 160 -R Auto --x264-preset=fast --x264-profile=main --h264-level=`"4.0`" --verbose=0"

Functions that collect recursively all videos in a folder to set them to mkv with a new language (default track (first track) only)
PLEX
Use it for your PLEX server too, so all your tv shows and movies will have more data
Requirements
Set the script file
notepad $PROFILE, then copy paste the content and save.Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUserto enable custom scriptFunctions

mkv-set-languagemkv-set-language eng(english: eng (default), spanish: spa, german: ger, fre: french, ...)Run this one to copy and convert your .avi and .mp4 to .mkv and then set the default language:
to-mkvto-mkv engBefore using it
Change in the functions the paths related to mkvtoolnix tools to yours
Warnings
Troubleshoothing
could not be opened for reading: open file error.that means the function failed to switch thereadonlyproperty tofalseyou will have to run the terminal as an administrator or make the change yourself before running the functionKnow which plex files that don't have the language set yet
Feel free to edit the functions as you wish
