MakeMKV just won't work.

[science-nerd]

Has this issue been fixed yet ? I am still experiencing the same issues. I have made sure I am part of the CD rom groups ect..
VLC can see my drive and play dvd's just fine and so does k3b and dvdbackup apps.
The problem is Makemkv complains about not able to get full access to drive and just wont load the disc when entered.
I have tried Ubuntu , Arch , Debian , MInt and it just wont run Makemkv properly. I boot into WIndows and whammo it magically works.
Any one get it working in linux lately and what is the work around?
Thanks..

Is your sg kernel module loaded?

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe sg

Makemkv runs fine on Arch based distros (in my case CachyOS), installed from AUR or pre-compiled from chaotic-aur.

If you need flashing, you will need to use v1.17.7. You can check how to run both latest and this version simultaneously viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40977
