Failed to execute external program 'mmgplsrv' from location '/usr/bin/mmgplsrv'

Post by tw_psycho »

Hi,

I tried 3 different DVDs and I can't backup it. Here is the log:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/mmgplsrv is empty:

Code: Select all

pi64@raspberrypi:/media/pi64/Elements/Temp/DISC COPIES $ ls -all /usr/bin/mmgplsrv
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jan 30 12:17 /usr/bin/mmgplsrv
pi64@raspberrypi:~ $ file /usr/bin/mmgplsrv
/usr/bin/mmgplsrv: empty
Bluray discs work fine. It happens only on DVD discs.

I would be very grateful for any suggestions...

Best regards

DVDs don't do "backup". They rip. Bluray was the first disk type that MakeMKV offered a backup option.

How did you install makemkv? It should be part of it. Check if it's in /usr/local/bin

Oh wait, my bad, it says the file is there, just empty. Going back to my original question, though, what did you use to install it

Ok, I found it. I think some issue happened during previous compilation. Perhaps because I tried to do that with ffmpeg. Even in out subfolder file was empty (0 bytes).

Solution was to remove the folder and unpack it again from the archive. And then redo ./configure, make and sudo make install.
Thank you! :)
