    MakeMKV 1.17.8 Brokedid?

    I have been using MakeMKV for the past… well… seems like forever. And the most recent update seems to be broken.

    I have two problems. First, that each new version of MakeMKV requires a new registration code… So, once you update your version of MakeMKV you can go to the MakeMKV forum and get the new beta-key.

    The second problem, is downgrading. If I install 1.17.8 Flatpak, then downgrade to 1.17.7, it still doesn’t work.

    So, I installed from the tar.gz, version 1.17.7, and it requires a Beta-key that is no longer available.

    Am I just stuck with a broken version of this software until the next one comes out? That could be up to 3 months.

    I also have looked at the MakeMKV forums… seems as if this is happening to a lot of people. https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/view...hp?f=3&t=35703

    So… does anyone know how to get this working?

    Mine just works, I can't see enough in your thread to advise anything, what is not working?
    Code:
    flatpak run com.makemkv.MakeMKV  
    Failed to create wl_display (No such file or directory) 
    qt.qpa.plugin: Could not load the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in "" even though it was found.

    Yep I'm on wayland here.

    Like denoted in the link to the MakeMKV Forum... The app opens up, and then sits there unable to download the SDF (and/or recognize the drive). I cannot put in the new beta-key, or even my previously purchased key.

    Well there is a little more clairity with your reply, and you stil haven't really given any steps you have taken to resolve this, outside of removals and different versions flatpak tarball.

    Sometimes flatpaks can be a bit confusing when we uninstall flatpaks.
    Code:
    flatpak uninstall com.makemkv.MakeMKV
    
    
            ID                         Branch       Op
     1. [-] com.makemkv.MakeMKV        stable       r
    
    Uninstall complete.
    Code:
    flatpak uninstall --unused
    
    
            ID                                          Branch              Op
     1. [-] org.kde.KStyle.Adwaita                      5.15-23.08          r
     2. [-] org.kde.Platform                            5.15-23.08          r
     3. [-] org.freedesktop.Platform.openh264           2.2.0               r
     4. [-] org.kde.Platform.Locale                     5.15-23.08          r
    
    Uninstall complete.
    now I'll re-install cleanly
    Code:
    flatpak install com.makemkv.MakeMKV

    I have found if snapd is installed then it gets really messy with any or most outside 3rd party apps like>>>flatpak and appimages.
    Code:
    apt policy snapd
    snapd:
      Installed: (none)
      Candidate: (none)
      Version table:
         2.65.3+24.04 -1
            500 https://mirrors.tuxedocomputers.com/ubuntu/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble-updates/main amd64 Packages

            500 https://mirrors.tuxedocomputers.com/ubuntu/mirror/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/main amd64 Packages
    I do have Enabled Internet, left unchecked.(screenshot)

    I hope this helps.....otherwise just another rabbit hole to go down.

    Re: MakeMKV 1.17.8 Brokedid?

    I cannot believe I am about to say this... but...

    Snap FTW!

    I was able to install the Snap of MakeMKV, which is still at version 1.17.7… and it had the same issue of not being able to detect the drive.

    I did the following, that I found at https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23759

    su root
    Enter your Password
    echo sg > /etc/modules-load.d/sg.conf
    Exit
    Reboot
    After the reboot, it all started working. So, I keep using this version until 1.17.9 comes out. If that doesn’t work, then I will restore my system with Timeshift.

    Thank you all for the help!

    Nice! I'll now bet the flatpak works as well.
    This is the key>>> "echo sg > /etc/modules-load.d/sg.conf"

    Happy Viewing....
