That tells you the group owning /dev/sr0 is "optical". You need to make your user part of the optical group if not already, then you should be able to see a disk in the drive and use it.

The duplicate libraries were what hosed me up as well. Upgrading from 1.14.5 to 1.15.3 and got the same error.

Research revealed that I had duplicate library files in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64...

I just tested it with MakeMKV 1.15.3 on Fedora linux and it worked like a charm copying a BD. It is defin...

The version that has been working was 1.14.5 and with the recent release of 1.15.3 I decided to try and upgrade to take advantage of updates in the software.
