Funny little messsage: doesn't affect anything

Doing the Makemkv thing, and in every disk I am now seeing (since 1.82) in the log file.

Downloading latest SDF to C:\Users\Troy/.MakeMKV ...
Automatic SDF downloading is disabled or failed.

I don't see that option in Preferences, so I haven't knowingly disabled anything.
Internet access is not a problem, just checked that. Firewall is working normally. Logged into router-all is normal there.

Any idea? It doesn't affect the projects at all, just sits there in the log doing nothing.

Thanks,

Troy

Yes, it IS saying that something is affected - the ability to download the SDF file. Usually that means your ISP or router is blocking access to the Russian site that hosts the SDF file, but that can be worked around USUALLY.

Woodstock is right… usually an ISP or a firewall is blocking access. At the moment, however, there is a bug that might be the root cause.
