1.17.8 hangs when trying to read from brand new Asus SDW-06D2X

[whitenoise]

Hi there MakeMKV community!

Longtime user of the Windows version, switched to Linux out of MS frustration a few weeks back (been using Linux for years); bought a replacement Asus drive, brand new, connected it, built MakeMKV from source, inserted a blu-ray, started MakeMKV and it... hung at "Scanning for CD-Rom drives".

(This is on a registered, paid copy of MakeMKV, same key as I've been using on Windows for a few years).

Ejected the disk, cleared all makemkvcon processes, relaunched MakeMKV, it started fine, detected the drive, found all of its specs, all good.

Put a disc back in, restarted MakeMKV -- same hang.
Tried with Makemkvcon -- hangs at first line.

Disc itself opens up fine and can be navigated easily within file manager and command prompt (so Linux sees the /dev/sr0 device just fines and grants my user access to it just fine). Used the CD-Rom functionality of the drive to copy over 300+megs of data in the same session, so drive is just fine.

Which leaves me at : MakeMKV hangs with a blu-ray disc inserted in the drive, never terminating, leaving a hanging makemkvcon process behind.

I guess my first step would be debug logging on, or is there something else I can try to unblock it?

Having a very similar issue, but with a PIONEER BDR-XD08U under Kubuntu.

Very hopeful someone has info for you (and potentially me).

I am able to close MakeMKV. I don't see the processes staying behind. I basically just get "Disc is being Loaded" indefinitely.

I'm having this issue as well. Though I've seen a few different manifestations of issue while trying to get MakeMKV working on my new Linux box. My first issue (on Fedora 41) was that MakeMKV wouldn't proceed beyond downloading SDF:
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=35703

Now I've got it installed in a Debian 12 install and initially it would launch with almost every button grayed out, including the "Register" button.

I got MakeMKV to un-gray the buttons, accept my registration code and start reading the drive, but then it hangs. Exhibiting exactly the behavior detailed by the OP.

My system is:
Debian 12
LG HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH16NS40 (1.04) Blu-Ray drive
AMD Ryzen 8600G in an MSI B650 motherboard

The MakeMKV debug file shows:

Thanks for any help!

I'm also seeing this problem.
Just listing the drives via makemkvcon is enough to make it hang:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon -r --cache=1 info disc:9999

Hey folks, I'm having the same issue, and it seems like a lot of people are. This post seems to have the most information: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=35703

In particular, `makemkvcon` is being started up with the `guiserver` command, even when ran from the console, and this process hangs at 100%. Note that this affects any other command that tries to call to `makemkvcon`, like `bd_info` or VLC.
