Way to lock makemkv to one drive and specify on command line

[MikeyCarter]

I'd like to see a way to lock makemkv to one drive.

That is to run makemkv /dev/sr2 from the command line and have it only work on that drive. I tend to run multiple copies of makemkv at the same time and it's auto-sensing get's annoying especially if one of my drives is running slow. It can take several minutes when you insert a disk.

Hi Mike, have you found a way to do this already? I'm not really sure but I don't think that this is possible yet. Perhaps in the future, developers could develop this.

Did you try the command line paramter "dev:/dev/sr2"? That's works for me here in stream mode:

Code: Select all

$ ps aux | grep \[m]ake
$USER       46457  5.2 13.3 948108 540260 ?       Ssl  16:09   0:32 makemkvcon --bindport=52034 stream dev:/dev/sr0

Thant's how it works right now (for command line). If you specify the drive name then MakeMKV will only use this particular drive. To skip scanning all drives specify --noscan.
