This has been going on for a while. App settings are correct, but it's not working. Just tried a disc that's been out for quite a while (Hard Target - KL) and it would not rip. This has happened numerous times.
I have discovered a workaround. I can manually update AnyDVD HD by downloading the KeyDB and putting it in the AnyDVD folder, starting that program then closing it. MakeMKV then uses AnyDVD's decrypter and it works. That's not how it's supposed to work.
I suggest the devs put a setting in the app that allows "forcing" an update. Unless there is another suggestion. I'm listening.

Re: MakeMkv Not Updating KeyDB
MakeMKV does not update the public keyDB.cfg file. MakeMKV can use it but doesn't have anything to do with maintaining it. MakeMKV has it's own internal hashed keys database.Fast Fizzy wrote: Fri Oct 16, 2026 9:15 pm This has been going on for a while. App settings are correct, but it's not working.

To update the KeyDB.cfg file, you can either manually download it or use SamuriHL's KeyDB Assistant tool to check for updates.
