Setup for MS Windows

This script removes all brackets areas (e.g. [scary music]) on subtitles located within .mkv files as well as in the same directory (provided the basename of the .mkv is contained in the .srt file). It also selects a set of languages to keep and discards the others.
The input is a folder on your computer, and will clean all .mkv in it (in all subfolders as well).

1. Requirements listed in the requirements.txt file

2. The script is built upon MKVToolNix that can be downloaded there: https://mkvtoolnix.download/downloads.html

3. Once it is downloaded, you might have to change the 3 following files of the repo located in the batch_files folder:

• mkvextract.bat
• mkvinfo.bat
• mkvmerge.bat
  In each of them, you will find a path to where the MKVToolNix got installed. If it is located in a different place in your computer, change the paths in those files.

Simply run the script with python.
3 flags are available:
--videos_dirpath: folder where the .mkv files are located
--languages: list of languages you want to keep and clean (as ISO 639-1 Format of Language Name, e.g. "French") --overwrite_all_files: bool to overwrite all original files instead of deciding individually

MKVToolNix does not allow overwriting files, so make sure you have enough space to run the script (~2x the size of your biggest .mkv file).
