Hi all
MakeMKV v1.18.3 (new compiled)
Registered user.
Arch Linux up to date
I am trying to rip a BD, but the main MakeMKV window has "Scanning CD-ROM devices" at 100% and hangs there.
There is a process "makemkvcon" that eats 100% CPU time, which seems what the frontend is waiting for.
I can confirm that with 1.18.3 on Windows, with the same BD reader and BD disk, there are no issues.
Any ideas?
makemkv hangs, makemkvcon at 100%

Is your sg kernel module loaded?
You can load it for the current session via modprobe:

In my experience, occasionally with some drives / discs, one could bump into this kind of hang issue if you inserted the disc *before* makemkv is started.

What do your system logs say? Or makemkv log?

Thanks everyone, and sorry for the late reply, we had holidays here.

When I first start makemkv, and then load the disc, it hangs indefinitely in the "Type: Loading ..." Label: Please wait" state

makemkv log shows nothing, just "MakeMKV v1.18.3 linux(x64-release) started"
System logs (journallog) gives nothing related to device loading etc.

Yes it is:
I have doubted that my bluedisc support libraries are problematic, but I had no problem playing the disc using smplayer directly from the drive.
Thanks for any further suggestions!
