Back then after updating to v6 I had this problem with mkvs played on my LG Bluray player with fast forward and rewind not working and seek to XX:XX:XX mins taking many minutes not seconds. Research here gave the solution which I have used since successfully of adding default command line options of \"--engage no_cue_duration\" and \"--engage no_cue_relative_position\".\r\n\r\nUntil tonight when I updated to v8.5.2 and the new GUI for the first time from v7.8.0 So after a while looking at the preferences (CTL P) I found the \"Default additional command line options for mkvmerge\". I tried the menu options no_cue_duration and no_cue_relative_position. Merged a file and tested but it did not play correctly. So I deselected them and tried entering the full command line --engage no_cue_duration --engage no_cue_relative_position in the window. I merged and tested again and still not fixed. When displaying the cammand line log the required commands were not there.\r\n\r\nAfter some searching on here and Doom9 I found a tip to enter the command on the output tab / miscellaneous / additional commands field. So tried this, merged and tested and this time all was working on the LG player OK. I found if I entered the menu from the Output Tab/Misc/Additional options section it had the same options as in the CTL P menu but with the addition of a \"Save as default\" tickbox. I tried this and now it seems to work OK and does show the command correctly in the display commands log and also retains as a default if the program is closed and reopened.\r\n\r\nHowever, CTL P preferences default command line option is not working. I displayed the command line and the --engage etc command is not listed there. If I enter it in the misc additional commands field and then display command line it is there and does make files which play correctly.\r\n\r\nI tried ticking other options in your CTL P default additional commands menu such as --disable-lacing and --enable-durations and again displayed the command line but none of these appeared either. Again if I set the options in the options tab they do save and appear in the command line log too. So unless I am doing something wrong this additional command option does not appear to work when set JUST in the CTL P options.\r\n\r\nIf it isn't a bug and I am just missing something please advise.\r\n\r\nSorry this is long but it is difficult to explain accurately but if you need more info or cannot reproduce this issue let me know."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/comments/164903332","html_url":"https://github.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/1499#issuecomment-164903332","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/issues/1499","id":164903332,"user":{"login":"hurda","id":3539609,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3539609?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/hurda","html_url":"https://github.com/hurda","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hurda/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hurda/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hurda/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hurda/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hurda/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hurda/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hurda/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hurda/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/hurda/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-12-15T21:30:32Z","updated_at":"2015-12-15T21:30:32Z","body":"Just wanted to add that the deprecated mmg was adding additional commandline-options to the current merge-settings without the need to start a new merge-job.\r\nI guess that was due to mmg being a \"single job\"-program, whereas mkvtoolnix-gui can have multiple merge-settings open at any given time."}}
