Anybody know which is the best source file on the UK disc, 00001, 00356 or 00359?

I finally got round to 'donating' $50, and now we have the HK download problem so MakeMKV is broken

Mike said it should be fixed in another thread. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to the other thread? Just tried and still says Automatic HK downloading is disabled or failed edit: downloaded the latest hashed keys file that was made available today and it's now working with a new release ...

Why not periodically sneaker-net '_private_data.tar' (or 'sdf.bin') from the laptop to the air-gapped machine? Smaller than moving around movie backups.

Copying sdf.bin isn't working, hence posting

This topic has gotten so old, are you talking about the John Wick 2 disk failing (what started the topic), or a different disk? JW2 is a long-ago solved issue, but it is possible the disk you're having an issue with is "too new". In your MakeMKV data directory, there will be a file create...

The sdf.bin file is actually "moved" into a file in your MakeMKV data directory, called _private_data.tar, and read from there. This file keeps all of what MakeMKV downloads for operation, so it (usually) isn't overwritten by other programs. _private_data.tar hasn't been modified since th...

What is the web server hostname? I have pi-hole and pfBlockerNG running to filter DNS requests. Is there any way to white-list entire MakeMKV? I short, it can use any DNS address and it can change at any time. Is it a serious problem that I should look at fixing? I don't know what SDF is so some co...

There is definitely something funky with this disc and Asus drives, I've had two copies of the UK disc that have failed to either read at all, thrown scsi errors or failed part way through a rip, using two identical Asus BW-16D1HT with firmware 3.01, I also tried 3.10MK to no avail, both with Makem...

Yeah 45 minutes is typical.

What spec machine are you using, and what are you writing the mkv file to?

The link to the manual downloaded key file is back up with an updated file. It appears Mike will continue to support this file/method until he advises otherwise.

Thanks st4evr, (and Mike), downloaded.

Was Deadpool 2 included in the last published hash key file? If so, would somebody be kind enough to share it with me?

So it would appear, but only Mike could say for sure. Seems reasonable that he would want to eliminate the need to manually update.

Maybe, but I bet I'm not the only one that uses an air gapped PC for ripping.

Thanks, but the ripping PC isn't connected to the Internet.

Has the manual download option been removed now then?

The site hosting the Hash Key file says it's been deleted, is this something to be concerned about?

Happy to say the latest Hash file included the keys for my version of Murder on the Orient Express - great work Mike!
