SHA256 for linux files don't match

Post by sticktower »

I was going to install 1.18.1 but the SHA256 hash on the download page (https://makemkv.com/download/makemkv-sha-1.18.1.txt) doesn't match the sums for makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tar.gz and makemkv-oss-1.18.1.tar.gz.

Anyone else notice this?

The Linux downloads are double-compressed. Try the following:

Code: Select all

$ gunzip makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tar.gz
$ mv makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tar makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tgz
$ gunzip makemkv-oss-1.18.1.tar.gz 
$ mv makemkv-oss-1.18.1.tar makemkv-oss-1.18.1.tgz
This should provide the following:

Code: Select all

$ sha256sum makemkv-oss-1.18.1.tgz makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tgz
dc47eefb1e68f7d539e4b079bb93ce64144104ad233de56818939810ecd03b7b  makemkv-oss-1.18.1.tgz
b16576651eadec3585e817843a2a1a0ebcaa713b89dd1e020d8b1d056ddb2fd6  makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tgz

Yep, works now. I didn't even know that was a thing. Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

(These artifacts really shouldn't be double-compressed, of course ;).)
