Had submitted MKB_v19_Lethal_Weapon_B3D8.tgz couple weeks ago but so far it still does not work

[lwblu]

Also checked the newest keydb.cfg multiple times, including today and it still does not work.

Am I doing anything wrong? I noticed trying to register on the board did not work w/ my email (Proton mail) and I had to use a temporary email provider.

This is not a UHD disk and also has an old Media Key Block (MKBv19), and so it should "just work". You should have no need to email your dump file to anyone for MakeMKV to decrypt your disk.

The latest KEYDB.cfg file contains a lot of disks which might be yours as well. Could you upload your TGZ dump file here as an attachment so that people can examine it please? Or possibly upload it into (say) Google Drive or OneDrive, and then reply with a download link?

You need to copy the KEYDB.cfg into MakeMKV's data directory (i.e. where MakeMKV writes its TGZ dump files) and then restart MakeMKV before MakeMKV can use it.

Regarding Proton... they've been used by so many spamming people over the years that they were blocked.

Oh, sorry I thought it was UHD. If someone could move the topic then, that'd be great I guess.

I did even manually search for the SHA1 in the keydb.cfg and it's not there. I did copy the keydb.cfg into the right folder for MakeMKV. I'm unsure if it is able to read it. I tried both the all CAPS and non-caps like it comes in the zip, not that it should matter on Windows. ProcessExplorer was unable to find a file handle for the file while MakeMKV was running, tho I suppose that could be because it reads it into memory and closes the file and I just didn't time it right. I also set up VLC with the same keydb.cfg and it's unable to play it.

I noticed there were a few keys for lethal weapon in there that had a _similar_ release date. Now that you say this, I know I tried one or two (by just replacing my SHA1 in the file) but I'm unsure if I did all of them (probably not).

I have an LG WH14NS40. I've only used it once before, for some Minions disc and it worked both for playing directly and extraction (tho I don't remember if I used MakeMKV - was on the old computer that I no longer have)

File is attached

If it is a regular blu-ray, it should just work, as MrPenguin suggested. You should not have to mess with KEYDB.cfg nor should MakeMKV be creating a dump file for a regular blu-ray or DVD.

Maybe post what MakeMKV says about the drive & the disc in question. Put the disc in your drive, let the OS see it, start MakeMKV and copy & paste the data from the first screen into a post here on the forum.

Thanks, but did you create this dump file from your actual physical BluRay disk?

Code: Select all

005042:0000 The program can't find any usable optical drives.
003006:0000 Opening files on harddrive at file://Y:

You seem to have copied the files to your hard drive, and then opened those files with MakeMKV. Could you try creating a dump directly from your disk please?

To be fair, if you want to copy a disk to your hard drive then you should use MakeMKV's "backup" function.

The drive is in the server in the basement and shared via SMB and mounted as a drive letter on the Windows laptop that runs MakeMKV. That's how I did the Minions disk back when as well (tho like I said, dunno if that was MakeMKV or maybe "the dead fox" ).

For VLC I tried both the WIndows laptop via the same shared drive and I also then tried it directly on the server via X-Forwarding but still could not open it.

I guess I'll have to go through the Linux install instructions then and try that. Thanks, will report back once that's done.

[lwblu]

Just finished that installation and it seems to be working (have a lovely X-forwarded MakeMKV chugging along. It can find the disc and extract the title info and such and it's running now. I suppose the output will be fine.

Sorry for "disturbance" so to speak. Looking at what it built there during installation, with special drive access libraries and such, it really doesn't work across the network, as SMB won't know what to tell the drive

Thanks for the help tho and hopefully this is going to be a lesson for anyone else looking through the forums later on.
