#1 call from cli

It would be quite useful to be able to use meteorite from the commandline on X-less remote machines.
something such as
$ ./meteorite -nox /path/to/broken.mkv

would be nice for windows too

Agreed, it would be beyond nice it would be great on all platforms, not just to work around GUI errors or issues, but to provide a way to use it in scripted processes.

I am looking for a command-line means to validate an MKV to see if it will even play without actually watching the video for 2 hours.

For example, -validate would validate instead of repair the MKV and the return value would be 0 for no error, 1 for playable but time length error, 2 for playable with glitches, 3 for plain broke and so on.

My use case is iterating through a folder with videos and finding ones with errors. Doing this the old fashion way entails hours sitting in front of a monitor without blinking. Doing it the drag-and-drop way is tedious and error-prone. Running a script... that would be nice.

+1 for run from cli.

I have successfully converted meteorite to CLI util. If Erdem is happy to allow posting of links to source/binary here i can.
