Hello,

I was also getting the following error upon opening MakeMKV - Automatic SDF downloading is disabled or failed.

Yep, can easily be flashed. BU40N 1.03-MK is what you want.

You should fix the SDF download failing issue. Check/change your DNS and/or use a VPN. Also ensure internet access is given to MakeMKV in preferences.
