The Shining (1980) - Cannot Be Decrypted

[Someguy1234]

Backup is succeeding for me now. Thanks mike!

It's still giving me this:

MakeMKV v1.14.5 win(x64-release) started
Using direct disc access mode
Using LibreDrive mode (v05 id=DA23CAE0BD2F)
Downloading latest HK to D:/MakeMKV ...
Automatic HK downloading is disabled or failed.
Saved AACS dump file as D:/MakeMKV/MKB20_v68_The_Shining_53F0.tgz
The volume key is unknown for this disc - video can't be decrypted
Failed to open disc

Double check that "Allow contacting web server for updates" in Preferences in MakeMKV is checked.

I have it checked and I've gone back and disabled and re-enabled it but still having no luck.

Awesome working for me now too.

Looks like the program failed to download the update. firewall? running from a different dir? something else?

Looks like it tried though. Good luck

A firewall is what I've seen on here people (including Mike) saying you need to disable but I've never had this problem before and it used to update (download) fine. Weird...

I even fully disabled my firewall and still get that message:

Clear your DNS cache.

Clear your DNS cache.

I just flushed my DNS in Windows 10 manually via the command prompt and it's still giving me that error. :/

Not sure if this INFO will help and maybe something is wrong with my drive or such?

I'm not sure what could be happening then. MakeMKV is basically saying it can't connect to the server to get the HK. I don't understand why, but, it's blocked somehow.

IF you've already flushed the OS DNS cache, you'll need wait for your DNS server record to update.

Could someone have actually blocked me? I'd be pretty offended if Mike had, considering I bought a key.

No. That's not it at all. As others have said in this thread and the other, it's very likely your internet provider's DNS cache. Personally I don't use the crappy one from my ISP and change it to a more secure DNS, but, that's just me. If you don't want to change the DNS server you're currently using, you'll need to wait probably another 20 or so hours before the DNS entry gets refreshed.

THAT WORKED!!! Thanks so much. I went and replaced my DNS with Google's. It's allowing me to rip the disc now.

And don’t jump into these types of conclusions as it can provide misinformation to other members. It’s senseless. No valid/honest developer would do that without a very, very good and valid reason to single out anyone specifically (e.g you were a hacker trying to do Mike/his software/domain harm, criminal act, etc). Specially when an honest customer (which I assume you are) has validly paid for the right to license the software. Use a bit of common sense there.

Awesome. Glad you got that sorted out!

I agree. I'd go back and take that back but it's been quoted. Sorry. I was getting frustrated and spent hours trying to get it to work. I was just honestly joking. Again, apologies.

It was you reminding me that about the ISP taking so long on a DNS made me think of just using Google's, which I actually used to. Thanks again!! You rock. heh
