MakeMKV does absolutely nothing when opening index.bdmv or MovieObject.bdmv

Post by caseyls »

I've read a bunch of topics about this but none of them seem to be my exact issue.

I just installed MakeMKV for the first time. I have a BDMV folder (it's just a folder, not a disk image), with a BACKUP folder inside. I launch MakeMKV, select open file, and select the index.bdmv file. The open file dialog closes, and nothing happens. Same goes for if I click on MovieObject.bdmv.

I took a log, and this is all it shows, after attempting to open both of those files:

Code: Select all

Debug log started at Sun Nov 29 16:03:34 2020 , written by MakeMKV v1.15.3 darwin(x64-release)
Using 262272KB for read cache.
001005:0000 MakeMKV v1.15.3 darwin(x64-release) started

005042:0000 The program can't find any usable optical drives.
Apologies if I'm missing something totally obvious here, but I simply cannot get this to work. Thank you for any help.

When I open a MakeMKV backup, I select the enclosing BDMV folder, not anything inside it.

It doesn't let me select the folder itself, only a file.

What else is in your BDMV folder?

Like there should be a folder named playlists and one named streams and a few others.

I'd like to add to this topic since, as you mentioned, no other active topic seems to reflect this issue.

I have the exact same behavior with 1.15.3 but running on Ubuntu within Docker.

When I select either of the *.bdmv files, it simply does absolutely nothing. Even with debug logs enabled, nothing is logged. It's like it just doesn't know I selected something.

Restarting or recreating the container does not help, not sure where to go from here.


EDIT: I'll confirm shortly but my issue, I believe, was because of SABNZBD. In Settings -> Switches -> Post Processing, there is a setting called Ignore any folders inside archives which was checked and caused the entire disk to be unpacked from the rar files into a single folder, meaning no subfolders and everything at the root of that one folder. I'll retry now after redownloading.

Hi,
I'm not sure if it's best to open a new topic or to reply to an old one, I chose the latter, sorry if it was not the best option. I haven't found a more recent topic about this issue.

I have the same issue as described here, when trying to open a .bdmv (either movieobject or index) makemkv does not do anything.
I'm running nobara 42, not sure what more I should mention here I'm relatively new to linux.

It works fine with real bluray discs, and it worked fine yesterday with .bdmv, but now nothing happens. I did not update anything that could have caused it to break, I have now updated everything I could on my system and the problem persists.
There are no logs recorded, simply nothing happens.

Did anyone run into that problem since 2020 (date of the original post here)?
Thank you!
