It appears to extract subtitles but cannot find the file

[plittlefield]

When I run the command to extract a track from an MKV file, it appears to find it and show output of the job, but for the life of me I cannot find where it has put the file!

docker run --rm --name=mkvextract -e USER_ID=1000 -e GROUP_ID=1000 -v /home/plittlefield:/home/plittlefield:rw jlesage/mkvtoolnix su-exec 1000:1000 /usr/bin/mkvextract tracks /home/plittlefield/movie.mkv '2:movie.srt'
Extracting track 2 with the CodecID 'S_TEXT/UTF8' to the file 'movie.srt'. Container format: SRT text subtitles
Progress: 100%

What am I doing wrong please?

Maybe in the working directory, which should be /tmp ?
Can you specify an absolute path to the extracted item ? E.g. 2:/tmp/movie.srt instead of 2:movie.srt ?

Ah ha, fixed it!

I have to put the full path to the bind mounted volume that I specified in the extracted file option.

e.g.

docker run --rm --name=mkvextract -e USER_ID=1000 -e GROUP_ID=1000 -v /home/plittlefield:/home/plittlefield:rw jlesage/mkvtoolnix su-exec 1000:1000 /usr/bin/mkvextract tracks /home/plittlefield/movie.mkv '2:/home/plittlefield/movie.srt'

OR

docker run --rm --name=mkvextract -e USER_ID=$(id -u) -e GROUP_ID=$(id -g) -v $(pwd):$(pwd):rw jlesage/mkvtoolnix su-exec "$(id -u):$(id -g)" /usr/bin/mkvextract tracks "$(pwd)/Past Lives (2023) BD.mkv" 3:"$(pwd)/movie2.srt"

Thanks!
