hashed keys download bug
Posted: Fri Dec 15, 2023 6:32 pm
Hashed keys could seemingly not be downloaded, even though both DNS entries for hkdata.crabdance.com and hkdata.fairuse.org could be resolved by the computer
Hello guys,
I've recently noticed an issue with MakeMKV. The program was seemingly not able to properly download hashed keys in the background, needed for UHD bluray decryption. Their was no error code to be found in any of the logs. Even though all of my recently acquired UHD discs were released several years ago, none of them could be decrypted by MakeMKV, which was very suspicious. After sending in one of the dumps, reflashing my trusty LG WH16NS60, reinstalling MakeMKV several times, reading many posts on the forum, creating a host file, checking, if the aforementioned sites could be reached and waiting a few days before trying agian, I still had no luck. After going through an old backup of an older Windows 11 install of mine, I've noticed that the structure of the _private_data.tar file severly differed, compared to my recent installation. In the directory of my new install their only was one .bin file, while I found roughly four hundred in the backup. I transfred the _private_data.tar file into the directory of my new install and was imediatelly able to decrypt the European UHD release of Inception.
I wanted to ask, if any of you recently encountered a similar issue and if there is a known workaround.
