Suddenly can't set my output path

Running MakeMKV 1.17.8 (flatpak) on Pop OS.

I've been running MKV for months and months since switching to Linux without a problem. My normal output directory is a folder on my Media drive:

/media/xxxx/Media/DVD Video Recording

However, lately, when I try to set that, I get this path appearing in MakeMKV:

/run/user/1000/doc/77e92ab7/DVD Video Recording

And any attempt to rip the disc results in a failure due to lack of permissions to make the folder.

So, anyone have any idea what changed in my system? Why can't I simply point the app to the folder anymore?

Hi,
sounds like a problem with the permissions.
You could try:

Code: Select all

flatpak override com.makemkv.MakeMKV --filesystem="/media/xxxx/Media/DVD Video Recording"
Or install Flatseal for a nice GUI
