I use Subler mostly as a metadata acquisition and injector tool, and secondarily as a M4V remux sanitiser. The subtitles function is more a subset of its stream management, and is much less relevant than its name implies. That said, it does do a very competent job at converting, through OCR, DVD and BluRay bitmap subtitles to ASCII variants required for MP4 containers.

I think it only works in macOS, which makes it difficult to understand its purpose when you don’t have that platform readily available. Ideally it would have a CLI/TUI which would lend it better to script integration.

Since you're still a Windows user at least for now, and assuming that you're planning on continuing to be open-source, I can recommend Certum for this. https://shop.certum.eu/open-source-code-signing.html

I gave up trying to initialize the USB thingy using Linux (I tried regular Arch [btw] and an Ubuntu distrobox IIRC), but once I got through the initial steps using Windows, I was able to sign ongoing builds with Linux just fine. It took a LOT of trial and error since there seem to be very few people who simultaneously

• pathologically dislike using Windows regularly
• still want to make it easier for people on Windows to minimize Windows Defender complaints when running software that they build
• have the motivation and resolve to send a lot of PII to one of a handful of companies whose longtime business model is based around reputation and trust in order to get a usable certificate
• are stubborn enough to go out of their way to still figure out how to do a subset of this stuff on Linux
• are capable of actually succeeding at that, and
• are willing to show how they did it in a way that should be reasonably easy enough to understand and adapt to your situation

I didn't renew after my first year - I switched from publishing an executable to publishing it on the web, so I no longer had a need for it - so I don't know how things have changed (if at all). Most of my information came from eventually stumbling upon this wiki page for a Ruby-based tool where they figured out the last bits I needed to get it to work.

• It also has instructions for initializing the USB thingy on Linux too, so if I were to renew, I'd give that a fair shot... but seeing "icedtea" and a link to a web application that no longer resolves, I'd still only recommend it if you can use a Windows machine once a year.

I envy you so much, I used to love programming. Enjoy the process and the firsts!

Good luck with your eventual transition to Linux! Check in with Lemmy communities if you want help with anything!

Thanks. I have trust issues so I don't typically install software directly off someones github. I know flatpak/flathub isnt perfect but if its a verified flatpak then I at least know someone smarter than me at least reviewed the project and additionally, I know I can restrict the applications permissions with flatseal.

I just use handbrake to make vids smaller for jellyfin. I will give HISTV a try!

That's amazing, thank you for the explanation and link!

Thank you so much. It’s literally the TV show Friends. I bought the Blu-rays for the whole 10 seasons years ago and I remember using MakeMKV app. It’s high quality because I ripped them to the highest the app allowed I remember but they take so much space that moving them around from that slow hdd I have them on takes literal hours. So, knowing what kind of show it is, what settings do you suggest?

I was in the comments of the GitHub issue, kalzEOS. I’ll be trying it out when I got time. Appreciate it.
