1.9.7 places keys in "/" rather than "~/.dvdcss"

Post by nbi01 »

This behavior just surfaced with 1.9.7. The decryption keys (I'm guessing that's what they are - they look like "-8a5fe50c80cfb478-0000000000") are being put in the / directory rather than ~/.dvdcss as they always have been previously. Any reason for this change? These are rather annoying to get rid of as the strings can contain characters interpreted by shells. Could we please resume placing them in ~/.dvdcss? Thanks.

What do you have set in Preferences->General for your MakeMKV data directory? That's the only place MakeMKV should be writing such things.

This is a known bug in recent versions of libdvdcss (1.4.0, definitely). Basically the cache handling is completely broken.
