makemkvcon stopped working...help

[PriamX]

I'm running Linux (Fedora 35), been running makemkvcon for close to 2 years. The last upgrade to 1.17.2 makemkvcon just doesn't work anymore, it just prints out the version and doesn't do anything. However, on the same Linux machine, MakeMKV (GUI) works just fine.

Running it with the --debug flag, I get this output in MakeMKV_log.txt:

Code: Select all

Can someone point me in the right direction to solve this?

Thanks!

Hello:

I am also getting same error regarding makemkvcon.
It says no answer from makemkvcon.
I reinstalled, but no help.

Thanks.

Hi,

I had the "so answer from makemkvcon" bug. It was due to makemkv compiled against openssl 1.1 while arch recently updated to 3.X.I installed makemkv through yay so it wouldn't rebuilt it and used the cache instead. After clearing yay's cache (yay -Sc), i could reinstall makemkv cleanly and it works well now.

Any advice for openSuse Tumbleweed?

Running:
ffmpeg 5.1.2-4.5 via packman
libavcodec59 5.1.2-4.5 via packman
libavutil57 5.1.2-4.5 via packman

running makemkv gives error via command line:
/usr/bin/makemkvcon: /lib64/libavcodec.so.59: version `LIBAVCODEC_59' not found (required by /lib/libmakemkv.so.1)
/usr/bin/makemkvcon: /lib64/libavutil.so.57: version `LIBAVUTIL_57' not found (required by /lib/libmakemkv.so.1)

GUI says:
Application failed to initialize
NO_ANSWER_FROM_MAKEMKVCONV

Well, went back to original install instructions and saw there are some additional minor changes to what is needed.

Followed them up and all seems to be working now, Thanks!
