Hash file for MakeMKV

[bobo77]

I was running the flatpak version and started to notice the mkv files had problems with the finished files, as in distortion of the video and image being screwed up. So I looked into using source code to install and will give that a try, but I noticed that the sha256 hash file in the txt files is not what the hash of the downloaded file is, see below.

42be3c1aa58025c1e7ca7eee663bb293287e43362e48fcf20adf0846e23a4818 makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tar.gz (this is what I get when I check sha256 in terminal)

So the question I have for everyone is the download files not good or what??

The hashes seem different depending on how it's downloaded, which is weird. On Firefox I get the same bad hash as you do but on Chromium, wget I get the right hashes.

Code: Select all

b16576651eadec3585e817843a2a1a0ebcaa713b89dd1e020d8b1d056ddb2fd6  makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tar.gz.chromum
b16576651eadec3585e817843a2a1a0ebcaa713b89dd1e020d8b1d056ddb2fd6  makemkv-bin-1.18.1.tar.gz.wget

Meanwhile on Windows Edge the download just stops at the end and never completes.... so I guess download via wget or Chromium.

EDIT: Upon further investigation, the 'bad' hash download is actually a doubly compressed gzip file which has the 'good' gzip inside it... guess server side gzip is messing things up depending on the browser?

You can see here decompressing the one with the bad hash shows the good one is inside.

Code: Select all

EDIT 2: Seems like a old Firefox bug, if I post the link the message will get caught in the spam filter but google "firefox bug 1470011" for details if anybody cares.
