My apologies for the noise. It has been a while since I last used MakeMKV and I hadn't noticed that it reported being unable to download the HK file.

As GasmaskAvenger has found, the latest keydb.cfg file solves this problem.

Is there a manual solution to downloading the HK data?
Downloading keydb.cfg has, at least for one of the discs I recently bought, solved my problem.

Just in case anyone else is stuck or having problems ...

Re: hkdata.crabdance.com or hkdata.fairuse.org not found

I am able to resolve hkdata.crabdance.com, and I can point a browser at the address. However, the SSL certificate is either missing or invalid. Thankfully, http traffic seems to work but I don't know what path I need to provide in order to manually download what MakeMKV is trying - and failing - to ...

Re: HDR issue with Fast X UHD

Never mind ... the problem seems to have resolved itself somehow. Grrr ... I do not like it when that happens.

Sorry for the noise.

HDR issue with Fast X UHD

I've ripped and played HDR 4K UHD discs before with Windows 10 and Kodi. However, I recently purchased Fast X, ripped it and the playback was just wrong - the picture was way too dark. I went into the Kodi settings to turn off HDR and the rip then played fine in terms of picture quality but clearly ...

Re: Ripping Dolby Atmos into MKV

Kodi 19 now has a fix written and merged into the codebase: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/20361 to resolve problems it was having with TrueHD. That should be available in the nightly builds now. Not sure how long it will take for a new "dot" release to be made that incorporates this. ...

For anyone else who uses Kodi, I found a discussion thread on forum.kodi.tv about the issue: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=347674 To be fair to the Kodi developers, it doesn't read like they are ignoring the issue - they just don't have the resources to get it fixed and are more than ope...

Re: Incredibles 2

In this instance, I had no issues ripping Incredibles 2...once I figured out which of the 3 titles MakeMKV listed was the correct one. How did you figure this out? Each title is showing a slightly different segment map but I have no idea what the actual difference would be between the three version...

Re: Playing back UHD rips on Windows 10

Since posting, other research I've done suggests that smooth UHD playback pretty much requires hardware support for HEVC (the video compression used by UHD). I only have a partial understanding of when Intel have started adding this and, in some situations, it appears to be a partial implementation ...

Playing back UHD rips on Windows 10

I've got a 2015 NUC which I think is too old, hardware-wise, to properly play back UHD rips when connected to otherwise appropriate display hardware (i.e. new Denon AV amp and new Samsung UHD TV). The reason I say this is because everything I've read about correct HDR playback suggests that HDMI 2.0...
