MakeMKV Works in Windows, Can't read AACS VID in Linux

Post by queuecumber » Sat Jun 08, 2024 1:28 am

I'm having a strange issue with MakeMKV: it seems to work fine in windows but fails in linux with a bunch of scsi errors:

Error 'Scsi error - ILLEGAL REQUEST:COPY PROTECTION KEY EXCHANGE FAILURE - KEY NOT PRESENT' occurred while issuing SCSI command A40..0020..03F to device 'SG:dev_21:4'

and finally

Can't read AACS VID from disc - most likely current AACS host certificate is revoked by your drive
Saved AACS dump file as file:///var/home/max/.MakeMKV/MKB20_v76_Dune_4C7F.tgz
LibreDrive compatible drive is required to open this disc - video can't be decrypted.

The drive is the archgon (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BC9F98J?ps ... ct_details) purchased new. I flashed it using the "all you need firmware pack". The drive shows as "Libredrive: Enabled" in the UI.

Additionally, the same drive with the same disk works fine in Windows, I can get full track info and complete rips with no errors in the logs. This is literally a windows machine sitting next to the linux machine. Unplug from linux, plug in to windows, same disk and it works fine.

I've tried basically everything I can think of, including checking the group permissions on /dev/sr0 and /dev/sg3 (which is where lsscsi tells me the drive is mapped to), running makemkv as root, chmod 777 on those device nodes, running using the docker container, trying it on a different Linux machine (with a different distro), and every time on Linux I get the scsi errors.

Does anyone have any idea what might be happening here?

The full output from makemkvcon --debug info disc:0 can be found at the following paste as it is quite long
