Auto Synchronisation

The following python tool can be used to let it analyse the audio and subtitle and synchronise the subs to generate a new synced file. It works for offsets at the beginning, not for sync issues later in the file.

for f in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -hide_banner -i "$f" -c copy -map 0:s:m:title:"English [ForcedNarrative]" "${f%.*}.en.forced.srt"; done
for f in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -hide_banner -i "$f" -c copy -map 0:s:m:title:"angličtina" "${f%.*}.en.srt"; done
