Thank you very much for this information. This helped me to solve (workaround) the problem
The firmware dump was missing from my Linux system, but was present on Windows. So I copied the dump file over and now everything works perfectly...
I'm glad that helped.
Firmware dump stop working since MakeMKV 1.17.8.
Without this workaround, i will stare "Endless spin" forever.
