Try again now. I got a newer UHD disc to rip. Maybe it is back online.
Just tried it. It does appear to be working now.

Re: Please Help, MakeMKV bricked

When was Mike's last post? I know the site for downloading is hosted in Russia. Is Mike in Russia? Did he get swooped up by the SVR? :D

Re: Please Help, MakeMKV bricked

I have tried reaching the site on my phone using cell signal, my main pc and my server on the same network at home. I have also tried ripping on both systems using the same drive. I don't have the key required for this film yet, as it fails the rip as soon as it can't contact the server for downloa...

Re: Please Help, MakeMKV bricked

Did you look at the Hashed Keys section of the UHD FAQ ? If you're using a Ubiquiti router, it might be doing geo-blocking which is often problematic for people. It's not going to help. There is a problem with the server or the software. I have the same problem and, I suspect, so does everyone else...

Re: Automatic HK download disabled or failed

Is there a manual way to emplace the sdf.bin or sdf.dat.gz file _somewhere_ such that MakeMKV will reference it instead of hitting the "download or die" branch?... ...What is the magical juju incantation required to progress here? It's not you. There has to be an issue with the server. Ev...

Re: HK Downloading on a MAC

Fixing Volume Key is Unknown Is your firewall using geo blocking? It isn't their firewall & nothing in that thread is going to help. There is something wrong with the server or the software. I've tried to rip 4k discs in different locations with different network configurations with and without...

Re: Green Lantern Beware My Power - Volume Key Unknown

Automatic HK downloading is disabled or failed. That means something is interfering with your download. Since it has been "a while" since you started trying, it is likely a system setting that is preventing the host from being accessed. This is much more prevalent when you have 1.1.1.1 as...

Re: Simple way with GUI to Re-encode from VC-1 to h264, h65 or anything "Plexable"?

Hi all, I enjoy MakeMKV for ripping my original discs to my Synology NAS / Plex server. I have ripped Star Wars - The Clone Wars Season 1-5 for my son (and myself) to enjoy via Plex. Problems is that some episodes (basically all from Season 1 and some from Season 2) have the VC-1 codec, which means...

Re: Recommendation for MPEG2 converter to .H264
