makemkv hangs, makemkvcon at 100%

[nordwand]

Hi all

MakeMKV v1.18.3 (new compiled)
Registered user.
Arch Linux up to date

I am trying to rip a BD, but the main MakeMKV window has "Scanning CD-ROM devices" at 100% and hangs there.
There is a process "makemkvcon" that eats 100% CPU time, which seems what the frontend is waiting for.

I can confirm that with 1.18.3 on Windows, with the same BD reader and BD disk, there are no issues.

Any ideas?

Is your sg kernel module loaded?

You can load it for the current session via modprobe:

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe sg

In my experience, occasionally with some drives / discs, one could bump into this kind of hang issue if you inserted the disc *before* makemkv is started.

What do your system logs say? Or makemkv log?

Thanks everyone, and sorry for the late reply, we had holidays here.

When I first start makemkv, and then load the disc, it hangs indefinitely in the "Type: Loading ..." Label: Please wait" state

makemkv log shows nothing, just "MakeMKV v1.18.3 linux(x64-release) started"
System logs (journallog) gives nothing related to device loading etc.

Yes it is:

Code: Select all

$ lsmod | grep sg
sg                     53248  6

I have doubted that my bluedisc support libraries are problematic, but I had no problem playing the disc using smplayer directly from the drive.

Thanks for any further suggestions!
