Do mkv files of a ripped disc have correct permissions ?"User ID: 99" and "Group ID: 100" is correct, files have correct permissions but there'a a problem with Variable UMASK.Change the UMASK value and nothing is changed with permission.
September 24Sep 24 What's the best way to diagnose issues with an install?Despite my best efforts I still can't get this one to work. I've tried literally everything and no dice.ie. passing drives to the containers; changing PUID and PGID; literally everything I can find online.

September 25Sep 25 After updating to the latest version v.26.09.2 (MakeMKV 2.0.0) it now crashes as soon as I open a disc. There's no particular error message in the logs so I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.Rolling back to v26.09.1 (MakeMKV 1.18.4) works as normal. Is anyone else experiencing this?

I just came here to report as well. The latest v26.09.2 crashes as soon as a disk is being loaded. No log entry, nothing. Just crash.

October 12Oct 12 Alright, I've got a new one. I recently did the update to latest about a week ago. Since I did that update, MakeMKV has entirely stopped being able to recognize BluRays for me, but it's still ripping DVDs just fine. Anyone else deal with that before? I'm not really seeing anything on either this thread or the MakeMKV reddit about it.

I read up that it's a safe file to delete since it gets bogged down with data for discs already ripped, so I cleared it out. MakeMKV regenerated it fine at 2KB, but it isn't populating or doing anything more with it. I've got all my permissions set up fine (I hadn't changed them in the first place), so not sure what's shut everything down here.Do we know an IP that it's suppoed to be pulling this from, in case there's something in my firewall blocking the pull down? I can try to ping it out of my terminal, if only to eliminate a potential problem source. And it's unlikely, but a data center in the soviet bloc DID get blown up this past weekend.

But unfortunately it didn't fix the issue. I'm reading it could also be physical damage to the drive, which would be odd but I'm willing to try to buy a new drive and see if that corrects it.Still trying to poke a little at fixes, but there's an external drive at Micro I can grab and flash.
October 17Oct 17 One last update: I wrote down my basic settings and fully deleted the container and cleaned up some of the unheaded broken dockers that had been floating around for months. Reinstalling it cleanly (not from the previous apps menu) and reapplying my settings got the bluray drive to work again.Thanks for all the help. I still have NO idea what the issue was or why reinstalling fixed it, but my guess still is that something broke with the decodes. At the least, hopefully some of the steps will help someone in the future.
October 28Oct 28 Sorry guys but the problem is ONLY on rights creation of "/backup" folder.Every files are written with "777", but backup folder is "755".And I don't know how to modify this. Edited October 28Oct 28 by PicPoc
