Re: Qt lib v5 error?

install qtbase5-dev (if you want to be able to remove that and its other dependencies after building, you may want to also explicitly install libqt5core5t64, libqt5gui5t64, libqt5widgets5t64 and libqt5dbus5t64 (instead of letting them being pulled by qtbase5-dev).

Re: Buffalo 16X not reading/Stalling

See https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=203364#p203364

Replace the value to use for sdf_Stop with what is found in your log file.

(Note: it's a long-time Linux-specific bug since MakeMKV 1.17.8.)

Even the desktop ones (WH16NS40)? Has any of them ever worked? Has the disc ever worked in any drive?

Re: Video can't be decrypted

Automatic HK downloading is disabled or failed.
You probably need a VPN to bypass the geoblocking. Or try to use KeyDB. (Extract the cfg file to C:\Users\Admin\.MakeMKV.)

New enough ones. Older ones could be Pioneer Inside™.

Re: Omnidrive Compatibility ?


it’s more of an extension that adds additional read modes for certain game discs while keeping the existing LibreDrive functionality.


Actually the "core" of LibreDrive is really a part of MakeMKV, not any firmware patching. It's just that newer "LG kei" firwmare requires patching to "support ...

Re: Discs not loading


I did update to omni drive not that long ago (maybe a month ago)


You have four(?) drives here though, and apparently only the slim ones (BU40N) are flashed with OmniDrive firmware. Are you having problems with all of them or what? (If you don't know / aren't sure, have you tried connect and ...

Re: Need Help Installing MakeMKV on EndeavourOS (Arch Linux)

Probably the same problem as seen in viewtopic.php?t=42238

TL;DR patch it yourself or wait until there's an update (hopefully there will still be one...)

Re: DTS-HD MASTER AUDIO 5.1 lossless playback


same muddy audio


Again, same as what (gives)? I mean, many/most open-source / freeware software players on PC uses ffmpeg/libavcodec (or something based on that, like LAV Filters on Windows) for AV decoding, which should be able to fully decode DTS-HDMA. (Although I'm not quite sure about VLC ...

Re: Blu-ray failure rate frustrations. Help!

Can't see your screenshot (which is expected when posted as an attachment), but usually it's either due to an "aging" / "aged" drive or insufficient power.

For the latter try to connect the enclosure / adapter to a USB-C port (through a C-A adapter when necessary) if any is available, if you don't ...

Re: UHD and BW-16D1HT

Please post the full LibreDrive information section (in text).

EDIT: Never mind since the problem is not being able to read/detect some disc(s). (Basically, try a different copy and/or another drive/model -- preferably a Pioneer one.)
