Proposal: Truncate to shortest track (if video)

[stewieoO]

This is just a rough implementation (without the actual truncating atm) as a proposal

• How should the change be shown in the preview/conversion table? (Obviously need to properly format a display value 😆
• Probably also want to show a warning kinda tag somewhere on the detail page indicating that the different lengths will be an issue
• Could also check if the difference is relevant for the threshold
• Write tests (how do you create those dummy mkv files for testing?)

Setting in profiles

Library view

@KirovAir forgot to mention you, so idk if you saw it.
Could you give your thoughts on this?

Hi! Sorry for the late response I was extremely busy at work and just working on a big refactor in how the remuxing works for future expansions. This is nearly finished and will most likely break the PR. For length detection I'll add that but I am still doubting about the -shortest flag since it will possibly open up a can of worms to fix all sorts of "possible" broken files which need to be fixed in different sort of ways.
I'll most likely expand the pre/post processing to be more advanced so you can modify the actual command that will be used or that can be used afterwards to fix the tracks. :)

No worries (for the late response).
I only made the pr as a UI suggestion anyways.

Not sure what other possible ways of "broken" but not actually broken there are tbh 😆 These files play totally fine in any video player i tried. It's just the mismatch between different tracks.
I would def argue that it should be a core functionality (although optional)
