I'm glad that helped.Thank you very much for this information. This helped me to solve (workaround) the problem
The firmware dump was missing from my Linux system, but was present on Windows. So I copied the dump file over and now everything works perfectly...
Firmware dump stop working since MakeMKV 1.17.8.
Without this workaround, i will stare "Endless spin" forever.
