Makemkv hangs OS
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2020 9:07 pm
Started somewhere on 1.14.* code set, not sure when unfortunately, currently running 1.15.0 .
Long time (4 years plus) user of Makemkv) user, and paid subscription.
My Linux (Debian 10.3) system sucessfully rips DVD's (not BD's) a few times, can be up to 10 or as little as 2 consecutively, then the Load on my system goes through the roof in a matter of milliseconds (300+). It happens so fast, that there are no smoking guns in syslog, and the xterms I have running top and topas don't get updated with the culprit.
The load basically freezes my system, cannot login remotely and the keyboard, mouse stop responding. I have to power off to recover.
It always occurs after a DVD has been successfully ripped, then I eject that DVD either manually Eject widget on Makemkv app; then I insert the next DVD to rip and then it happens. The CDROM drive starts its pre-read, and then the OS fires off the daemons that handle new media insertion, then freeze.
I replaced the CDROM drive, thinking it was the culprit. Next I replace the PS, as I have seen strange issues with flaky PS and CDROM drives.
Still happening, not really sure what to do, other than to roll back to < 1.14 and try that. But wanted to see if anyone else has seen this. I searched the general and Linux OS specific forums; and didn't see anything, but might have missed it. Depends on the search variables.
