Need Help Installing MakeMKV on EndeavourOS (Arch Linux)

Post by Route66Fan »

Since I can't download MakeMKV for Linux through their website, I had to download the bin & oss files off of the Internet Archive here & here.

I tried installing it & while I could install the bin files (Using make.), I couldn't install the oss files.

How do I properly install it?

Probably the same problem as seen in viewtopic.php?t=42238

TL;DR patch it yourself or wait until there's an update (hopefully there will still be one...)

Hi. I use EndeavourOS too. I had to install MakeMKV via Flatpak because the AUR package no longer works with ffmpeg 9.0. The Flatpak package works perfectly; I didn't even have to re-enter my license key. Just remember to grant the necessary permissions so it can detect your optical drive—you can do this via the terminal or using Flatseal.

And now there are more detailed instructions for using the patch inside that topic, too (for those who are not used to running Python scripts). :wink:
