Dump Submitted - Borderlands (2024)

[ds1972]

Submitted dump file MKB20_v77_Borderlands_6FB2.tgz.

...don't judge me.

No shame. I need this too. I can't recall. If the dump file has the same name, it's the same version?

Yes. The 4 digits at the end need to be the same too.

[DJRumpy]

Thanks. I couldn't recall if that indicated the same release. I inadvertently ended up ordering the SteeBook collection from Amazon. I can't see the disk ID on this anywhere. The packaging sucks. I thought I was going to bust the blu-ray pulling it out of the disk slot. I ended up encoding the blu-ray edition until they fix the UHD key.

Yeah, this is the Amazon SteelBook I submitted. I didn't have the same trouble as you with the packaging, thought the "am I gonna get the disc out or break it?" thing is a real issue these days, with a LOT of packaging. The old DVD "split-pushbutton" release mechanism is still, IMHO, the best.

The 4K pops out without issue. It's just that weird plastic rib they put on the side of the disk. I literally had to bend the BD about an inch and a half to get it to pop off the little button holder. I'm fine with them just tucking the BD behind the left cover and leaving the UHD/4K on the right side. The design on this one is just dumb IMO. Ah well.

I do like the movie though. I never played the game or read the comic so no hate from me.

Submitted dump file MKB20_v77_Borderlands_6FB2.tgz.

The latest KEYDB.cfg file contains this entry:

Code: Select all

0x2C99F6B61028EE10BF91373CC9D721A552A6F61E = BORDERLANDS (Borderlands - Ultra HD Blu-ray™) | D | 2024-08-26

Does copying this file into MakeMKV's data directory (i.e. where MakeMKV also writes its TGZ dump files) and restarting MakeMKV help?

Yeah, that fixed it straight away. I didn't have the updated keydb.cfg. Cured that problem: I now have a cron job to download and "install" the current file daily.

Thanks for the help!

[DJRumpy]

Worked for me as well. I didn't have an existing keydb file oddly enough, but copied it out there and restarted the app, and it's ripping without issue.

Wish i was smart enough to know where this location is to paste too! haha Hopefully they will get the dump file into makemkv soon!

Download the ZIP file, copy it into MakeMKV's data directory (i.e. where MakeMKV also writes its TGZ dump files) and restart MakeMKV.

If you're on a UNIX-like system (I'm a Mac guy), you can automate this really easily:

Open your favorite text editor, and make the following script (replacing the {PATH_TO_YOUR_MakeMKV_DATA_DIRECTORY} part as appropriate):

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

URL="http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/fv_download.php?lang=eng"
DOWNLOAD_PATH="$HOME/keydb_update.zip"

wget "$URL" -O "$DOWNLOAD_PATH"
unzip -o "$DOWNLOAD_PATH" -d "$HOME"
mv "$HOME/keydb.cfg" {PATH_TO_YOUR_MakeMKV_DATA_DIRECTORY}
touch {PATH_TO_YOUR_MakeMKV_DATA_DIRECTORY}/keydb.cfg

rm "$DOWNLOAD_PATH"

Save this as updateKeydb.sh somewhere sensible. We also have to make it executable.

Open your terminal, and type:

Code: Select all

chmod +x {PATH_TO_YOUR_SCRIPT}

Now with that done, let's schedule the updates... Run the following command in the terminal:

Code: Select all

crontab -e

If you don't already have a crontab this will create a new one for you. I added the following, which runs the update script at midnight daily.

Code: Select all

0 0 * * * /bin/bash {PATH_TO_YOUR_SCRIPT}

And that's it. Now I never have to worry about not having the newest file, unless a URL or something changes.

Hope this is useful to somebody.

No judging here. I got it to see just how BAD it really happens to be.

Converted to powershell for the Windows users in the house:

Code: Select all

# Define the URL and download path
$URL = "http://fvonline-db.bplaced.net/fv_download.php?lang=eng"
$DOWNLOAD_PATH = ".\keydb_update.zip"

# Download the file
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $URL -OutFile $DOWNLOAD_PATH

# Unzip the downloaded file
Expand-Archive -Path $DOWNLOAD_PATH -DestinationPath $HOME -Force

# Move the keydb.cfg file to the specified directory
$destinationPath = "{PATH_TO_YOUR_MakeMKV_DATA_DIRECTORY}"
Move-Item -Path "$HOME\keydb.cfg" -Destination $destinationPath

# Remove the downloaded zip file
Remove-Item -Path $DOWNLOAD_PATH -Force

Obviously you'll need to change the PATH_TO_YOUR_MakeMKV_DATA_DIRECTORY. I haven't tested this so some brave soul should test it and see if it actually works. It might. LOL

P.S. Assuming it works, you can then add it to Windows Task Scheduler to run every night so you'll have a freshly minted keydb.cfg file in your MakeMKV directory daily.

Awesome! Thanks for the assist! I'm good with UNIX and Mac, but Windows not so much...
