makemkvcon appears to be ignoring .MakeMKV/settings.conf

[salernost]

I am using makmkvcon for a headless ripper found at docker hub at: rix1337/docker-ripper

This docker doesn't include the ccextractor, so I receive the common error:

Code: Select all

"Unable to execute external program 'ccextractor' as its path is not set in preferences" 

Therefor, I installed ccextractor, and added to .MakeMKV/settings.conf:

Code: Select all

app_ccextractor = "/usr/local/bin/ccextractor"

I still receive the

Code: Select all

"Unable to execute external program 'ccextractor' as its path is not set in preferences" 

????

it appears to completely ignore the settings file?

I found since I need to run makemkvcon using sudo because of some permissions issue I have not figured out yet, the putting the settings.conf file in /root/.MakeMKV/ directory solved the issue of the executable finding the license key.
