Something is missing, but not sure what - plz help!

Been using MakeMKV for years under Windows. Recently switched to Linux (Bazzite) and I'm still learning to use it correctly.

The issue I'm having is, after installing MakeMKV from a Flatpak, the program runs, seemingly without issue (there's no error message), but it posts the following in the log and simply won't do anything else:

MakeMKV v1.18.2 linux(x64-release) started
The program can't find any usable optical drives.

The last line is not unexpected as there are no optical drives in my system. When I try to open an index.bdmv (as I've done many times in Windows) nothing happens. I assume I'm missing a library, or something, but I don't know which, or how to install it. I could use a little hand-holding, if some kind soul could walk me through it.

Thanks!

I don't use the Flatpak version but it could be a permissions issue with which drives/paths the flatpak app is able to see...that is something that I've experienced with other flatpak apps in the past at least. You could try using Flatseal (https://flathub.org/en/apps/com.github.tchx84.Flatseal) to edit the permissions for the app.
