MakeMKV above v1.17.7 still broken on Linux

[visionviper]

I'd like to hear more about what people are doing for build/install. I had zero issues with v1.18.1 following the official instructions. But I see people making reference to Flatpak and a tar file I never downloaded or used.

Is someone willing to post a detailed step by step of what they are doing?

I'm also having the same problem. No fixes as of now. I'm on NixOS Warbler, installed makemkv through nixpkgs version 1.18.1. All the same problem as you guys have mentioned but unfortunately none of the fixes are working. Adding DVD first doesn't work, replacing _private_data.tar doesn't work. Downgrading just crashes the makemkv instance. I'm stuck right now
