Verifications

param file_path:

The path to the file that needs to be checked.

type file_path:

str

returns:

The resolved and expanded file path if it exists.

rtype:

str

raises TypeError:

If the provided file path is not of type str.

raises FileNotFoundError:

If the file path does not exist.

pymkv.checking_file_path(file_path: str) str
Parameters:

file_path (str) – The path to the file that needs to be checked.

Returns:

The resolved and expanded file path if it exists.

Return type:

str

Raises:
  • TypeError – If the provided file path is not of type str.

  • FileNotFoundError – If the file path does not exist.

param file_path:

The path to the Matroska file to be verified.

type file_path:

str or os.PathLike

param mkvmerge_path:

The path to the mkvmerge executable. Default is “mkvmerge”.

type mkvmerge_path:

str, optional

returns:

True if the Matroska file is valid and is of type “Matroska”, False otherwise.

rtype:

bool

raises FileNotFoundError:

If mkvmerge executable is not found at the specified path.

raises TypeError:

If file_path is not a string or an instance of os.PathLike.

raises FileNotFoundError:

If the specified file_path does not exist.

raises ValueError:

If the file_path could not be opened using mkvmerge.

Notes

This method verifies the validity of a Matroska file by checking if it is of type “Matroska” using the mkvmerge command-line tool.

pymkv.verify_matroska(file_path: str | PathLike, mkvmerge_path: str | list | PathLike | None = 'mkvmerge') bool
Parameters:

  • mkvmerge_path (str, optional) – The path to the mkvmerge executable. Default is “mkvmerge”.

Returns:

True if the Matroska file is valid and is of type “Matroska”, False otherwise.

Return type:

bool

Raises:
  • FileNotFoundError – If mkvmerge executable is not found at the specified path.

  • TypeError – If file_path is not a string or an instance of os.PathLike.

  • FileNotFoundError – If the specified file_path does not exist.

  • ValueError – If the file_path could not be opened using mkvmerge.
