What am i possibly doing wrong

Post by paintbullits »

So, i must be an idot somehow but would anyone please explain how?

On linux mint, I tried installing 2.0.0 with

Code: Select all

make
sudo make install
in both the oss and bin folders. everything seemed to go ok. Then when I open it, im hit with "Scanning CD-ROM devices" and it will never find any.

After reading around here some I found a lot of people were saying there were bugs and to use older versions. So I uninstalled and tried again with progressively older versions. This is where i don’t know what’s going on. i will run the same make sudo make install commands, read the eula, type "yes", and MakeMKV will NOT be installed. Its not in the menue, "makemkv' in the terminal is not a command and nothing exists at "/usr/bin/makemkv".

Any ideas folks?

First step wrong: installing version 2.0.0, which has a vivid history of being broken.

Version 1.18.x and 1.17.x both have better history of working.
