@FabioLolix, how are you getting to their site? It just doesn't resolve for me and I have checked against several dns servers, 8.8.8.8 being one of them. The site is gone and therefore this package no longer works.
0curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.makemkv.com
Seems they have removed the 1.17.4 version, it is no longer listed on https://www.makemkv.com/download/ at the moment
To get the previous version:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/makemkv.git
cd makemkv
git checkout 24c37eb89d7105083e789811e70bf97d259f639d
then build with makepkg or devtools
makemkv.com seems to be down. Is there an alternate location this can be pointed to? If not, then it's useless.
I can confirm that a manual sudo modprobe sg was necessary to get makepkg to detect my DVD drive.
1.17.3 has been moved to https://makemkv.com/download/old/... Please update to 1.17.4. Thanks so much.
@SpaceFunk that does the same thing as modprobe sg does (which doesn't require a reboot), right?
If so, that didn't fix my issue. I'd try your idea if it seemed different from what I've already tried, but it doesn't, and I'm using this on a production server, so rebooting is not preferred unless absolutely necessary.
EDIT: modprobe sg is now working for me, not sure what changed. Thanks, all!
@trainzkid I fixed this by creating a file in /etc/modules-load.d/ with the content sg then reboot. You can name the file whatever you want.(sg.conf as an example)
Running makemkv fails to detect my bluray drive (error The program can't find any usable optical drives). I tried running sudo modprobe sg and then running makemkv but no change. I also tried "registering" with the beta key mentioned in the comments in case that somehow had any effect.
This is with makemkv 1.17.3-2.
I'm able to lsblk -f and see the /dev/sr0 drive, I'm able to bd_info the drive (no errors), and I'm able to mount the drive without issue. If I mount with uid= set to my uid, I'm able to manually navigate to the index.bdmv with makemkv, but makemkv errors out after a few minutes with:
The volume key is unknown for this disc - video can't be decrypted
Failed to open disc after it tries to "load the content hash table/verify integrity of M2TS files".
Something I'm missing?
@FabioLolix
The update fixed it. Thanks.

This now depends on
libavcodec.soso when it needs to be rebuilded against newffmpegversion you are forced to uninstall first otherwise the update will be blockedfosskers commented on 2023-06-11 13:56 (UTC)
