MKV cleanup batch to remove undesired tiltes, tags and subtitle lines

New PowerShell Version available

MKVCleanup-PowerShell

MKVCleanup

Edit "PATH\TO\YOUR\CLEANUP\FOLDER" accordingly and have fun. :)

This will delete all Titles and Tags from the files in the specified folder. It will also extract the Subtitles (if there are any), remove the first two lines and merge them back.

CAUTION: Do not use this on your movies/tv folder directly, it might remove desired subtitle lines.

FileSystemWatcher

hi I'm using your script works really good for me. thank you very much
i was wondering if you can add a File System Watcher when ever we finish download any .mkv then the BATCH file get triggered.

i found something that's working for that with powershell, but because i am not a programmer i have no idea of what I'm doing but it think you can make it shine.

### SET FOLDER TO WATCH + FILES TO WATCH + SUBFOLDERS YES/NO
    $watcher = New-Object System.IO.FileSystemWatcher
    $watcher.Path = "Z:\media_downloads\downloads"
    $watcher.Filter = "*.mkv*"
    $watcher.IncludeSubdirectories = $true
    $watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = $true  

### DEFINE ACTIONS AFTER AN EVENT IS DETECTED
    $action = { start-process C:\tools\Cleanup_Eng.bat
              }    
### DECIDE WHICH EVENTS SHOULD BE WATCHED 
    Register-ObjectEvent $watcher "Changed" -Action $action
    while ($true) {sleep 5}
