Handbrake queue picks wrong file? (lemm.ee)

I am not sure if anyone's experiencing this. I'm using Handbrake from a flatpak. I am recoding a whole TV show's season. So, episodes from S01E01 to E15. In the Handbrake app and queue, it really picked the 15 of them. However, when I start to process the queue...It starts by encoding ep 15? At least S01E15 the file it starts creating first. But in the queue window, it claims to be procesing S01E01. (?!). And after finishing...The queue claims to be all successful and no errors, but I have only 14 new files, S01E01 was never recoded. Even though it claims it did it the first one.

EDIT: Sigh...Now that I'm inspecting the files that it did recode, it did it wrong. I was made to believe that if you set the settings of what you want on the first file of the batch (Video codec/quality, audio tracks xyz with passthrough/recode quality, subtitle tracks xyz), then Handbrake would apply these same settings to all the files in the queue when you pressed queue - add all. But clearly something went wrong because I ended with videos with two incorrect audio tracks (and I chose 4 audio tracks), and no subtitle tracks (when I chose to take all the available ones). From a quick check, it looks like all the source files have all the same audio and subtitle tracks on the same order...

Is there any issues I'm missing?

A tip that might help: For audio and subtitles, try using Track Selection settings instead of Track List settings, and once you have all your choices selected, save them as a preset. Then when queuing episodes, choose that preset.

Also, consider doing a test run on part of a single episode before queuing up a batch. (Choose a time range of just a minute, for example.) That way you can check the result quickly, and adjust if necessary, before committing to the whole job.

Finally, I recommend using Add To Queue for each episode, then Start once they're all queued.

Thanks...This is truly helpful. I'm testing this method now, it seems to work. Not super convenient...But it kinda works.
