Have you tried downloading the latest KEYDB.cfg file, copying it into MakeMKV's data directory (i.e. where MakeMKV also writes its TGZ dump files) and restarting MakeMKV?

This worked for me.

Hello. This is for MrPenguin or anyone else who can answer. I want to try the solution for Yellowstone Season 5 Part Two that MrPenguin mentioned in this thread. I downloaded the KEYDB.cfg file
(which shows up as "keydb.cfg 2", a 57.9 MB document after opening the zip - is this right?). I'm not sure how to copy it into MAKEMKV's data directory. How can I get to the data directory? Do I just drag and drop the file anywhere in there once I find it?

I'm not sure what the 2 is on that. It needs to be named exactly KEYDB.cfg. The MakeMKV data directory is where your dump files are created. You can find it by going to MakeMKV, preferences, general tab. You'll see the data directory listed there.

Alternatively if you're on Windows, my tool can be of assistance with all this.

Make sure to read through the post thoroughly as it might help you more than you realize if you do.

SamuriHL, thank you very much. I have a Mac. I changed the file name to not have the "2" in it, and then dragged it into the MakeMKV data directory (which is the default folder in my Mac's hard drive called "movies", under my name as user). I restarted MakeMKV and the content seems to be ripping fine. Appreciate your help, along with MrPenguin. Cheers.

This worked, I just did the above. MKV is currently running disk 1 of Season 5 part 2

I tried putting KEYDB.cfg into my "C:\Users\bill\.MakeMKV" folder (where the tgz files are written), but I'm still not able to get Yellowstone to decript. Also, the KEYDB.cfg file is from a UK source. I live in the US, so is this UK version supposed to work for me? I also tried to do this on two different BD drive, with the same result. Thanks, Bill

BTW, would it help for me to upload my three tgz files here?

Here's my status/error results if this helps.

Is this something that will eventually work on its own without having to go through these hoops?

If someone emails the dump files to svq@makemkv.com then eventually MakeMKV will download the necessary bits in the background and it'll just work.

You appear to have the exact same disks as the OP, in which case (AFAIK) the latest KEYDB.cfg file should already contain your keys.
