MakeMKV 1.18.1 archives double-compressed

Post by STrRedWolf »

The releases of MakeMKV for Linux were run through with GZip twice, making unarchiving them fail if you just use (for example)

Code: Select all

tar xfvz makemkv-oss-1.18.1.tar.gz
To work around this, run "gunzip" on the archive, then rename the files to add the ".gz". Verify with the "file" command (it reads the file to verify what they actually are).
