Can't rip to another drive/mount point
Can't rip to another drive/mount point
I am unable to rip to any other disk/mount point on my system except the primary disk. I can see the mount points in other programs such as handbrake but makemkv does not.
Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
Does the user you run MakeMKV under have permission to read and write to those mount points?

Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
Thanks for your reply. Yes the mount points are owned by the account using makemkv.
Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
Can the user who is trying to run makemkv create files
in the directory that the user wants makemkv to rip to?
In other words, if that user cd-s to the directory
and runs "touch foobar", what happens?

Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
Yes, completed control. I can copy files to the mount point and create files. The mount points are not seen be makemkv when you browse to change the rip location. Other programs (such as handbrake and Vmware) see the mount points and can use them fine. This problem is the same on another systems I have as well.

Come on Linux users! Tell me what I have missed.
Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
If makemkv can't find directory
/a/b/c/d
then run ls -ld on each and every directory in the path, eg,
ls -ld / /a/ /a/b/ /a/b/c/ /a/b/c/d/
and check the ownership and permissions of every directory to see
is something looks out of whack.
/a/b/c/d

ls -ld / /a/ /a/b/ /a/b/c/ /a/b/c/d/

Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
Thanks for the suggestion. I took a look at the path. Changed ownership of each of the directories in /media/andy/456GiB one at a time to andy. Problem persists. Only makemkv cannot get to the mounted location.
Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
Did you also verify every directory had read and execute permission?
Run mount and verify the filesystem is mounted "rw"
Wild crazy guess, change the name of 456iG to something without
numerals, eg, mv 456iG MEDIA.
good luck.

Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
Drive is owned all the way through by user. No fix to this yet. Is this not a problem for other Linux users?
Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
run ls -ld on each and every directory in the path
and post the results.
and post the results.

Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
It's a known problem for users of Flathub's package of MakeMKV. See https://github.com/flathub/com.makemkv.MakeMKV/issues/6 for more information.
Are you using the Flathub package of MakeMKV? (Note that if you installed MakeMKV via Linux Mint's Software Manager, then you are indeed using the Flathub package.) If so, you can temporarily work around this issue by running the following command in a terminal:
Code: Select all
flatpak override --filesystem="/media/andy/456GiB" com.makemkv.MakeMKV
Code: Select all
sudo flatpak override --filesystem="/media/andy/456GiB" com.makemkv.MakeMKV
Code: Select all
flatpak --reset com.makemkv.MakeMKV
Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
I too am having this issue. I can not select an output folder that is mounted. I do have complete control of that folder and can write files there normally.

Re: Can't rip to another drive/mount point
Is this still a problem if you install from source?
