suddenly makemkvcon stuck?

Post by Caleb87 » Wed Mar 06, 2024 10:46 pm

I used makemkvcon to rip several movies so far. All of a sudden, it just hangs and never does anything.

I tried reinstalling from snap, tried attaching optical drive to (reddit suggestion), tried with/without sudo, rebooting computer, and more.

The /root/snap/makemkv/624/.MakeMKV/ private tar is only 8mb. I think it's supposed to be 50ish mb. I wonder if it's having issues getting it?

Any other ideas I could check?

Code: Select all

sudo makemkvcon mkv disc:4 all /home/caleb/TEST
MakeMKV v1.17.6 linux(x64-release) started

This never finishes, and the file is not growing in size. It just gets stuck.

This is happening to me too on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. About half way into mkv the output file stops updating its time and size. The process goes defunct. Any further attempts to run makemkvcon go nowhere. Trying to figure out a way to get it working again without a total system reboot. No errors. Last output was 49% progress. Bizarre.
