I have a flashed LG WP50NB40 NB52. Below are the details from MakeMKV:

When using this drive on Windows I don't have any issues ripping but on my new MacBook Pro M3 Pro I'm not able to open the disc. Here is the output I get:

Failed to open disc

I tried multiple movies and can't open any of them. Is my drive just not compatible with Mac or do I need to flash it with different firmware?

Thanks!

Your Mac can't access the site to download the information on the movie you're trying to rip. Is it on internet?

Yep, connected to the internet.

Then something has disabled or is blocking it from accessing the server to get the key from.

In settings, under General, is Enable Internet access checked? If so, what are you using for DNS servers on that machine? You may have an issue with blocking, because it's saying it can't connect.

I'm using 1.1.1.1 1.0.0.1 at my router for DNS and I have enable internet access checked. Does MakeMKV use ports other than 80 and 443? I tried digging for ports that might need to be opened but not seeing anything. This is an M3 Pro MacBook if that matters.

Something might be blocking you from accessing the site that hosts keys.

This helped steer me into the right direction. I didn't modify anything on my router but I did connect to VPN and all looks good now.

Thanks for the help folks!
