Matroska Attachment Scripting
Earlier today, martino asked in #darkhold about extracting large ammounts of fonts and other attachments from mkv files. Noting that on linux there is no mkvextract gui, I went ahead and wrote a poorly formatted script. Copy to where ever and run it how you will, syntax is ./mkvattachex.sh infile.mkv a b c, where a, b, and c are optional. a is the number of video tracks, b the number of audio, and c the number of subtitle tracks. These are important so that the script can tail properly however I am pretty sure I can fix this. Defaults are all 1 so if it’s a standard file with only 1 of each then they can be ignored. The script will extract all attachments, which generally means all included fonts. I have no idea if it will kill your system and if it does, as always, blame movax.
Here be the actual script, I’ll be updating it later on with proper functionality:
