Download fail for 1.18.3 bin file on linux

[Richo]

Hi, I am trying to download the latest version of installer and the bin download either fails with a 520 error or is corrupt on expansion. The OSS file works fine. I use the repository on Mint but on a pure Debian OS I get errors on various python components so I have installed 1.18.1 manually. Just trying to upgrade. I have tried the download on multiple computers without luck.

Any suggestions?

Both, bin and oss works fine on pure, real Debian.

Open Terminal and try with wget:

wget https://www.makemkv.com/download/makemk ... 8.3.tar.gz && wget https://www.makemkv.com/download/makemk ... 8.3.tar.gz

I am still getting errors on the bin file. If you downloaded it fine, I can only assume it is corrupted geocaching for Australia or maybe slow network between me and my download location. My internet is fine but I could see that the download is very slow for the size of the files. I will try again tomorrow.

Re-reading your comment, I only mentioned the different OS' not in terms of compatability but as to why I was using the download rather than the repo. My specific problem is the download failure, not compatibility. Not sure if that is what you tried or if you were just saying that the download file will work on Debian. I have the 1.18.1 working on Debian so I have no reason to suspect that 1.18.3 would not work.

My recent system updates (which include the automated build and installation of makemkv from the provided packages) have begun failing with a hash mismatch error.

Code: Select all

┃ error: hash mismatch in fixed-output derivation '/nix/store/r8m5gqcrjk5lf2p07ws7zl4hag7a82gm-makemkv-bin-1.18.3.tar.gz.drv':

While debugging this, I tried downloading the package manually, and found that I was unable to extract it:

I presume this is the cause of the errors.

Still works great with Debian 13 Stable.

Downloading and extracting with no errors.

Wget 1.25.0-2
Tar 1.35+dfsg-3.1

I have no clue what is going on, on your machines.

Glad to hear I am not the only one Maddy. I ended up downloading it on my mobile phone as I still can't download it from the site on my home connection on any OS via any method (wget or browser). Hope the mobile phone method works for you. By the way I am running a pfsense firewall, but there was nothing obvious in the logs. I turned off pfBlockerNG, but that did not make any difference.
