This now depends on libavcodec.so so when it needs to be rebuilded against new ffmpeg version you are forced to uninstall first otherwise the update will be blocked

I can confirm that a manual sudo modprobe sg was necessary to get makepkg to detect my DVD drive.

Flashing drive firmware on versions above 1.17.7 doesn’t work, but ripping discs do work on latest version.

As @Mattaw mentions below anything above 1.17.7 seems to be broken on linux. From the makemkv forum, https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37670

With 1.18.4 flashing Bluray drive firmware pegs 1 CPU forever. With 1.17.7 it flashed within a minute.

Not sure wether I would recommend to do that, but. :-)

As @andreas_baumann pointed out: This package is not working. The domain www.makemkv.com is unreachable.

andreas_baumann commented on 2026-06-17 04:57 (UTC)

makemkv.com is either a parked domain or not reachable.

In case this helps anyone, I had makemkv 1.18.3 hang whenever I started it, maxing out one CPU with a process 'makemkvcon' that had to be killed independent of the GUI.

To fix this I had to:

  1. Download an old MakeMKV appimage for 1.17.6. I used this one, but it is at your own risk: https://github.com/uncle-ben-devel/makemkv-appimage/releases/tag/1.17.6
  2. Make the AppImage file executable (chmod u+x ...), and run it
  3. Insert DVD into drive and read the disk

MakeMKV then downloaded the latest keyfiles to ~/.MakeMKV, and dumped my drive firmware to that folder too as another file. This appears to be where the later versions of MakeMKV are getting stuck.

After that I could quit the AppImage and run the normal 1.18.3 and it worked. This appears to be a common problem.

@jedcooper the name can be found in the log.

jedcooper commented on 2026-03-18 14:11 (UTC)

I also have problems to use MakeMKV. I have cleanly uninstalled it and rebuild with yay. Module sg loaded. All no luck. I didn't enter the current month's key though, dunno where? And @red-lichtie how to find out the exact drives name? As mine contains spaces and maybe special chars as it seems.

red-lichtie commented on 2026-03-16 09:12 (UTC)

I have found a way to get even the latest version (1.18.3) working.

Edit .MakeMKV/settings.conf and add your drives name to "sdf_Stop",

In my case it looks like this: sdf_Stop = "TEAC_BD-W26SS-B_2.02_{serial number}"

With that, the original functionality returns.
