To manually add hashed keys keys to makemkv, you open Makemkv, go to view->preferences, then, ->general and establish a folder for the 'makemkv data directory'.

There is a method for pulling the info they need to get the hashed key for your particular volume but I have not gotten there yet. For example, while I have successfully ripped quite a few 4K movies, I cannot yet rip Baby Driver. You'll notice that there are multiple hashed keys for the same movie-there may be more hashed keys that have not yet been uploaded to the file. Note that just because a movie is in the list, it does not mean you have the same version of the movie. However, you'll want to just completely get rid of the volume keys and replace them entirely with the hashed keys: (If this doesn't work it can be found in the directions at the beginning of this post) This is a file that you will need to periodically update as it is updated. In terms of the data directory in the next step, it's the same. MakeMKV is now set-up to use hashed keys. Also, it looks like Redfox is actively updating their software to include these keys. This is actually really straight-forward if you've already been using Makemkv. Per the instructions _HERE_ save the referenced text file into the folder in Makemkv that you've designated to be the 'data directory' (step 3 below) and, using MakeMKV 1.10.10 or later and a UHD friendly drive, you then can rip a UHD movie, assuming that the hashed key has been uploaded to that file already. So this has gotten to be pretty straight-forward. Update: Starting from version 1.14.0 MakeMKV can read UHD discs using any BDXL-compatible LibreDrive drive - that includes most 'official' and all 'friendly' UHD drives.Ĭustom firmware pack with LibreDrive patches Ĭheck out this post for useful info on where to buy a UHD friendly drive: Makemkv download (pretty straight-forward to install): MakeMKV will download the necessary info on its own. Doesn't look like you need to download the hashed keys file manually anymore.
