Source Name for External Optical Drive

Post by suhrmesa »

Often, I create 2-3 instances of MakeMKV... one for each connected external optical drive. Since all the drives are the same make and model, I often get them confused inside the application. Is there any way to rename each optical drive source? For example, instead three sources, all with the same source name: "BDE-Pioneer BD-RW BDR-XD05 3.01", I would prefer Pioneer_1, Pioneer_2, Pioneer_3

Thx

Similar issue.

I have 2 drives. If i load them both up with two instances its fine but if i reload one the second instance sees the first one only. If i open finder and see both drives it suddenenly locks up and either needs reboot...sometimes a few times or it lets me finish one isntance then i have to reboot. Usually safe boot, utility fix the sytem them fine just to repeat.

Is there a way load load a failed attempt due to crash or a way to assign instance?

Im using backup at the moment.
