That means something is interfering with your download. Since it has been "a while" since you started trying, it is likely a system setting that is preventing the host from being accessed. This is much more prevalent when you have 1.1.1.1 as one of your name resolution hosts, which is weird, considering this site uses their services...Automatic HK downloading is disabled or failed.

Google name resolution seems to work better for a lot of things. They use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for name resolution, and do not seem to be likely to block as many names from being resolved.
well actually the servers seem to be down today as im getting the fail message too just started testing some drivesPrimalNaCl wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 9:14 pm2 things:Woodstock wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 8:31 pmThat means something is interfering with your download.

0) I have only ever used google's dns servers since they have been around to be used.
1) I can get the sdf.bin or sdf.dat.gz files manually w/curl from the same box.
Further, there are no issues w/perms. The datadir for my user has FULL perms. I have even gone so far as to use a different datadir and bounce MakeMKV. The first thing it does is to download the _private_data.tar. So it's able to get data from the internet via some means. And even if I manually curl down the sdf.bin and sdf.data.gz, I still get:
MakeMKV v1.17.1 win(x64-release) started
Using LibreDrive mode (v06.3 id=0FA242DD4D0B)
Using direct disc access mode
Loaded content hash table, will verify integrity of M2TS files.
Downloading latest HK to C:/MKVDATADIR ...
Automatic HK downloading is disabled or failed.
Saved AACS dump file as C:/MKVDATADIR/MKB20_v76_DC_Universe_Movie_Green_Lantern-_Beware_My_Power_8DE6.tgz
The volume key is unknown for this disc - video can't be decrypted
Failed to open disc
Why is this process fragile af?
Yep, I'm getting the HK is disabled or failed message too.... Perhaps @mike admin can chime in??Billycar11 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 12:13 amwell actually the servers seem to be down today as im getting the fail message too just started testing some drivesPrimalNaCl wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 9:14 pm2 things:Woodstock wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 8:31 pm

Yes but it's not official and I'm debating removing it. Until I know further infochuckthetekkie wrote: ↑Mon Aug 15, 2022 5:55 amI'm getting that error too. Is there a way to get the new HK file and install it manually?
It isn't a configuration setting. I have the same problem with all 4K discs. The server has to be down or have some configuration issue. I've tried in two different locations with different network configs and with my firewall completely disabled. Besides, everything was working fine and nothing on my network has changed.Woodstock wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 8:31 pmThat means something is interfering with your download.
