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.

Just replace CODEC_FLAG_GLOBAL_HEADER by AV_CODEC_FLAG_GLOBAL_HEADER as suggested.

I tried rebuilding and am getting the following error:

Yes. You can rebuild the package yourself, no need for a change in the PKGBUILD.

This might need a rebuild because of the newest ffmpeg libraries? I am getting this error when launching:

/usr/bin/makemkvcon: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.57: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

ffmpeg: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ffmpeg/

Is now up to version 1:4.0-2 which provides libavcodec.so.58

The cdrtools package installs an autoload file for sg in /usr/lib/modules-load.d/cdrecord.conf, so IMHO it wouldn’t be out of place for makemkv to do the same…

I added a post install warning. I don't think a package should autoload a module that is not part of the package.

@hydro: What about javmorin's suggestion to add a makemkv.conf file to automatically load the sg driver? I can confirm that MakeMKV works properly again after loading that module.

I can confirm that makemkv works normally after loading of the sg module.

Per https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel_modules#Automatic_module_handling it would seem correct to add an '/etc/modules-load.d/makemkv.conf' file to this package which triggers loading of the sg module on boot. At the very least there should be a post install warning indicating that loading of the sg module is required for makemkv to run properly.

Correction: since it is being installed via package it would be /usr/lib/modules-load.d/makemkv.conf

Regarding the unrecognised drives: mike said in the liked thread that makemkv now needs the generic scsi sg driver, which it seems is not loaded by default on arch.

After loading the driver (e.g through modprobe sg) my drive is recognised again, but I haven't tested actually reading a disk.
