With bash, you'd set the globstar and nullglob shell options and use ** to recurse into subdirectories:
shopt -s globstar nullglob
for mkvfile in **/*.mkv; do
mkvpropedit "$mkvfile" -e info -s title="${mkvfile::-4}"
done
See 4.3.2 The Shopt Builtin
in the manual.
Note you can also use ${m...
find . -name '*.mkv' -exec sh -c 'mkvpropedit "$1" -e info -s title="${1%.mkv}"' sh {} \; Works like a charm but it puts the directory path in the metadata name also.
Silly me I had a typo in the new script. Apologies, your script works perfectly. No error after the correction. ;)
Any suggestion to preventing the directory tree being included in the meta data information?
getting closer, what that change did was took the ./ from the beginning of the file name but left the rest of the directory name in the title string. So from " ./instruction/class1/innovation.mkv " to " instruction/class1/innovation.mkv "
Really? What does this output for you: sh -c 'echo title="$(basename "${1%.mkv}")"' - "./foo/bar/baz.mkv" ? And if the result is not title=baz, then what is your OS (and version) and what is /bin/sh on your system?

echo $SHELL /bin/bash
Trying to change shells to /bin/sh no command is letting it change its stuck in bash. I cant seem to get the version of /bin/sh but cat is telling me its installed.
