[!NOTE]
Among many, many changes you can find listed below, it's time for a "little" game changer. After an incredible amount of hours of back and forth the number of audio tracks is optional now, with a default number of six. 💪🥳 Because of so many different factors the Main window does currently not change its size automatically when you change the number of audio tracks. Therefore the Main window is sizable now (within some limits) which offers some other benefits. In this context the whole audio file and stream insertion and recognition was also altered, which leads to a better, but maybe different, handling than you were used to.
The optional number of audio tracks was very challenging to integrate into the existing environment, but I am very sure, that it works wonderful finally. Nevertheless I am also sure that I could not have tested all workflow cases and exceptions. So please pay attention and report any issue.
The Auto Crop process has also been improved and extended a lot, so there are some new parameters to define what you want to consider to be cropped. The default values should be fine for almost all cases, but feel free to tweak them for your needs. 🤝
For everything else check the Changelog below.
Many thanks to everybody, who helped testing during the development stages as well as @Patman86 for his binaries. Special thanks to the few supporters for their support and kind words!

[!IMPORTANT]

[!NOTE]
This is "just" an extension for StaxRip v2.38.0. If you have already downloaded or running v2.38.x, you just need to download and replace the (extracted) StaxRip.exe file from the EXE-ONLY archive..
Please check out the Changelog for more information, especially in case you have skipped a version.

[!IMPORTANT]
Starting with v2.38.1 macros for directory names or paths are not including a \ at the end anymore.. This means you might have to adjust your scripts when coming from v2.38.0! You can also check out #1329 for more information.
Also replacing v2.38.0's StaxRip.exe only lets StaxRip ask you for the Settings folder like on a clean start. This is okay when updating from v2.38.0 and just happens once. Just select the folder you already use and you're fine.

Changelog:

v2.38.7 (2024-05-02)

• UI: Fix import and setting of encoder parameters
• VapourSynth: Fix potential wrong loading order of Python scripts
• Internal: Small fixes, improvements, changes
• Internal: Fix crash using Auto Crop on extremely short videos with Dolby Vision (#1327)
• Internal: Fix ignoring of existing Dolby Vision metadata in temp folder
• Internal: Fix Linux compatibility a bit more (#1331)

v2.38.6 (2024-04-26)

• Log: Extend logging for Dolby Vision metadata files
• UI: Show TaskDialog timeout when set
• UI: Fix AutoCrop not working properly on videos with multiple aspect ratios (#1324)
• Internal: Fix Linux compatibility a bit more (#1326, #1329)

v2.38.5 (2024-04-25)

• UI: Adjust StaxRip Update Check to perform cascade-like
  • More frequent checks on new versions, less frequent checks the older the version gets
• Internal: Fix Linux compatibility with macros and path handling

v2.38.4 (2024-04-25)

• UI: Extend max number of frames used for auto-crop (#1324)
• Internal: Fix Linux compatibility that caused issues with macros

v2.38.3 (2024-04-24)

v2.38.2 (2024-04-24)

• UI: Load new Startup Template when changed in Settings (#1229)
• UI: Improve Error Messages
• UI: Make Frame Mismatch more robust towards wrong script information (#1315, #1322)
• UI: Fix not or delayed updating target parameters (#1315, #1322, #1323)

• NVEncC: Bring back "--lossless" and "--lowlatency" parameters as they are not covered by new "--tune" modes
