How can you tell if a new HK file is available?
MakeMKV will try to download new hashed keys if you stick a UHD in your drive and MakeMKV determines it doesn't already have the necessary key. If you have a UHD that MakeMKV can't decrypt and the dump for the disc has been submitted, every few days, stick it in your drive and attempt to rip it with MakeMKV. Eventually, MakeMKV will download new hashed keys (assuming you don't have some network thing that's keeping you from downloading keys).

Makes sense. I just didn’t know if there was a visual indicator in the log that says an attempt was made. Thanks for the info.

Maybe Kind of a Necro here, but just got my Fast and Furious 10 Movie 4K Collection and all ripped perfectly fine except Fast X xD How likely is it, that there has not yet been a key generated for this, after years?

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?
And if that doesn't work, maybe also provide your TGZ dump file here - either as an attachment or via a download link - so that The Powers That KEYDB may examine it please?

No, I thought MakeMKV downloads everything it needs :S Will try Again!
MakeMKV does automatically download its latest keys. The KEYDB.cfg file is an optional alternative database that MakeMKV can fall back on, should it be available.
BTW can you also provide a ZIP file containing the AACS/MKB_RO.inf file from your physical UHD disk please? The copy of this file inside your TGZ dump file has been truncated to only 56 bytes, which makes it unusable to anyone except MakeMKV itself .
Also, you appear to have created this TGZ dump file using a Verbatim 43888. Is this your only UHD drive please?

Ah I see! Yes this is my only Drive, here is the MKB_RO.inf file directly from the Disc. Sorry, this is my first time encountering obstacles

Thanks, this provides one the of missing pieces of information that The Powers That KEYDB need from your disk. Unfortunately, the other pieces cannot be obtained from a Verbatim 43888, which means that KEYDB cannot (yet) calculate your disk's Volume Unique Key (VUK) .
However, KEYDB.cfg does already contain a Unit Key for your disk. And you are also running Windows. This means that you could install Xreveal, and then MakeMKV could use Xreveal to decrypt your disk.
Alternatively, you could wait for The Powers That MakeMKV to process your TGZ dump file instead.

Thank you! This worked like a charm for me. Have a great Day and I hope one Day my Dumpfile helps someone else <3
