Replying to myself... again....

The current beta key still does not work. Makemkvcon on linux refuses to accept it entered via cmdline or via file, with or without quotes, etc.

I ended up purchasing a personal makemkv key which makemkvcon accepted.

So I can only conclude that the bug lies with either the key or the app digesting the key at this point. /shrug

edit: a word of caution. I was using ARM (automatic ripping machine, not the cpu brand) here, and even though makemkvcon accepted the key, i still got "evaluation expired" notices. Turns out i had to run makemkvcon reg as the "arm" user.
so... make sure you 'reg' with whichever user is invoking makemkvcon.

Yes I know that:

Code: Select all

nano ~/.MakeMKV/settings.conf
app_Key = "T-WaI15n3jLrzWU88y7liOljd7UIR0mormcZo2oO5xt_9CSj3Mg6mOxR1eUvU_CA569e" #end of October 2024

will store the KEY that is valid until the end of October 2024 .....

but wanted to check if it is now working in new version 1.17.8 from the shell,
but still as above it is not

without quotes:

Code: Select all

$ makemkvcon --debug reg T-WaI15n3jLrzWU88y7liOljd7UIR0mormcZo2oO5xt_9CSj3Mg6mOxR1eUvU_CA569e
Key not found or invalid

and with quotes:

Code: Select all

$ makemkvcon --debug reg "T-WaI15n3jLrzWU88y7liOljd7UIR0mormcZo2oO5xt_9CSj3Mg6mOxR1eUvU_CA569e"
Key not found or invalid

I'm facing the same issue with the flatpak version of MakeMKV and the current and valid beta key:

Code: Select all

redacted:~$ flatpak run --command=makemkvcon com.makemkv.MakeMKV reg T-PuNYycrTTHW4QEOfhDrMuJMpojNqmY5CGuESAKXzHvwBvBcXhtsJLj4g6OAXd1zfzk
Key not found or invalid
redacted:~$ flatpak run --command=makemkvcon com.makemkv.MakeMKV reg 'T-PuNYycrTTHW4QEOfhDrMuJMpojNqmY5CGuESAKXzHvwBvBcXhtsJLj4g6OAXd1zfzk'
Key not found or invalid
redacted:~$ flatpak run --command=makemkvcon com.makemkv.MakeMKV reg "T-PuNYycrTTHW4QEOfhDrMuJMpojNqmY5CGuESAKXzHvwBvBcXhtsJLj4g6OAXd1zfzk"
Key not found or invalid

Any help?
