Disc is being loaded

[Doomlord]

Hi. My first post!

I have been trying to get MakeMKV working on my computer.
I'm running Fedora Linux 42 (Gnome 48) and 6.15.10-200.fc42.x86_64 Kernel
I have 2 external drives

Code: Select all

Disc Information
Disc is being loaded

App loads just fine, but all I get after loading a disc is: Disc is being loaded... Nothing happens after that!
Same problem with both drives and with Blu-ray and DVD discs. Ripping same DVDs with Handbrake works just fine.

First I tried installing MakeMKV from Flatpack, and after that i downloaded and compiled the source code from this forum.
Same problem with both methods

About section:
MakeMKV v1.18.1 (Linux(x64-release))
GUI version: v1.18.1 (for x86_64-redhat-linux)
Evaluation expires Wed Oct 1 2005 (38 days)

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Many Linux users (and me) report 1.8.x is not working well. Solution for now is to install 1.17.7.

For discussion see: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=37670

Thanks for your help.
Ok I’ll try installing older version.

Can confirm compiling 1.17.7 works like a charm!
Thanks again.

Hello @Doomlord
I have the same problem but I dont know how to get an older version of MakeMKV working? I can just download the new version via package manager.

Would be great if you can tell me how to install version 1.17.7

You need to compile the packages. Follow the instructions here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=224

Instead of the latest makemkv-oss and makemkv-bin files, find the older versions here: https://www.makemkv.com/download/old/

Use gunzip first before using tar to unpack both archives.
