SDF update 2025

[Coopervid]

Automatic SDF downloading is disabled or failed.

This error occurs.

Apparently this is the hosting provider timeout error due to all MakeMKV instances trying to download the file simultaneously. Once it is confirmed that new SDF.bin actually works, direct download link along with manual download instructions will be posted.

I'll try again tomorrow and will report back.

Mike, no. Manual download works instantly. So no overload at the hosting provider.

BDR-XS07 is unchanged

Did it create a (large) fw dump?

[mike admin]

Mike, no. Manual download works instantly. So no overload at the hosting provider.

MakeMKV downloads the SDF.bin (along with the keys) from different website and from different URL, as no keys are stored on makemkv.com

Still missing a post with automatic download and success. Just tried with my desktop. Still failed.

Yes, found and sent. Also sent the SBW-06D5H-U, which is in the same state.
