Blu-ray Scanner for Forced Subtitles

Does anyone know of a good tool that can scan a Blu-ray for forced subtitles?

What I am looking for is either a GUI tool that can do a full disc scan (or even a given set of titles), or a command line tool that I could script to do a multi-title scan.

Currently, I am using BDtoAVCHD, but that can only scan one title at a time. For TV show boxed sets, this can be quit laborious (unless a "play all" title is present). If the tool had a command line interface, I would just script it.

BDInfo can do a full disc scan, but doesn't report forced subtitles.

Tell me if I'm wrong, I don't think CloneBD can do what I want either.

MakeMKV can partially do what I want (in a roundabout way), and it has (somewhat limited) command line interface. It can be used to detect forced subtitles by telling it to generate a separate track for them, and then checking for its presence. This is far from ideal for many reasons, including the fact it requires extracting the titles and doesn't help with forced tracks (which is different than a track that contains forced entries), or tracks that aren't marked at all. Plus, it's command line interface is all or 1 (extracting multiple titles requires multiple scans).

Thanks,
DrX
