So I clean installed the latest beta. Then I installed MakeMKV and entered the beta key into settings.conf. But it seems that MakeMKV isn't decrypting the Blu-ray disc.

Can someone say where the Chrome session file is stored? I have to do a clean install due to safe boot loop, and want to keep my Chrome tabs in the new install.

Is it possible to resize fat partition without doing a clean install

I want to upgrade to this build from milhouse testbuild to this but it complaines that i must resize fat partition

Use this to resize GParted -- Live CD/USB/PXE/HD

I too noticed that with LE settings after I updated to the previous build version. Also, the programs I have in Favourites didn't start either. After reboot everything worked again. No idea what was wrong.

That latest generic build with 4.17.10 doesn't work for me. There is black screen with mouse cursor for some seconds and then again text screen that says stop job for Docker application container engine, which runs for 1 minute 47 seconds. Then automatic reboot to LE safe mode. Have you changed something regarding Docker?

I decided to try this build. I updated directly from Remix 8.2 of escalade. Everything seems to work. Addons where migrated and updated. Even the Docker addon of escalade build. And Docker works. Except for one particular container. How is the automated MakeMKV key updater supposed to work?

Btw, Do you have Docker in this build?

There are a couple of bash scripts on github that automates the key update. Google for them and modify for your needs.

I want to try the build. If I need to go back to Remix 8.2.0, can I do it by putting that in /storage/.update? Would there be any problem with addons?

If you can find an un-decrypted ISO with other region than you're in you could test it.

As you can read there nothing seems to help.

Sadly I don't know how to reproduce this issue without BR player. If I could use just ISO file (which one) or folder it would be great.

Yes. But I don't have a regular Linux now. I'll se if I have a spare disk to install on.

I tried :

app_Java = "/storage/.kodi/addons/java/jre/bin/"
app_Java = "/storage/.kodi/addons/java/jre/bin/java"
app_Java = "/storage/.kodi/addons/java/jre1.7.0_04/bin/"
app_Java = "/storage/.kodi/addons/java/jre1.7.0_04/bin/java"

None of them do any difference. My settings.conf look like for example :

LibreELEC:~/.MakeMKV # cat settings.conf 
app_Key = "T-LW1uLLbYkVG@LRXgUx8eZlPSc5XtHUoGDg9My9NgOMC@2jNEQjvNY4zLxK8E0YduZT"
app_Java = "/storage/.kodi/addons/java/jre1.7.0_04/bin/java"
LibreELEC:~/.MakeMKV # 

After uninstalling MakeMKV and using only the KEYDB.cfg file (libaacs) I couldn't play the region A BD at all. No matter what settings.

So it seems that MakeMKV is indeed decrypting the Java BD, but I have to set Kodi Blu-ray region code to A to play the BD, or else I get the "This disc is not intended to play in your region" message. strange.

Correction, KEYDB.cfg doesn't work. I uninstalled MakeMKV and now the region A BD doesn't play whatever I try in settings. Now I only get the simplified menu but can't play any title. Choosing full BD menu only shows the error that it can't be played. But I think my drive was host key/cert revoked a couple of years ago. So I think that MakeMKV is still needed.

I added that setting and tried all the path variations you listed, but none worked.

Playing with makemkvcon command I noticed that it displays this warning :

Profile parsing error: default profile missing, using builtin default

Could it be that other settings than the beta serial key should be placed in that profile?

Also to get the disc info you have to run makemkvcon with the -r switch.

I haven't moved to Reborn Remix yet pending MakeMKV status, but I want to ask if anyone knows how to add JRE home path to

MakeMKV settings? I have installed Java JRE as per these instructions (on 8.2.0 Remix) : Add built-in Java support

When I set Kodi to show the full Blu-ray menu and set region to B (which is my native region) and start a region A BD with Java menu,

MakeMKV doesn't seem to start and I see the incorrect region warning of the BD. If I choose simplified BD menu MakeMKV starts and decrypts the BD which then plays fine. So it seems to me that MakeMKV can't find the JRE and when a BD with Java menu is started in full menu mode MakeMKV doesn't start.

However, I downloaded the KEYDB.cfg to .config/aacs, and if I set Kodi to region A and full BD meny, the BD starts normally and I can use the BD Java menu. So it looks like playing any region without MakeMKV works now. MakeMKV is more seamless though as it takes care of the region automatically.

The wget warning is gone. But the region lock problem with Blu-ray Java menu disc remains. Using simple menu the disc is decrypted and played through MakeMKV. However, it seems that we can now play any region disc without MakeMKV if we have a KEYDB.cfg in /storage/.config.aacs. This works with my region A Java menu disc, but I have to set the region to A in System/Player settings/Discs.

But MakeMKV would provide a more seamless experience. I still think that th eproblem must be that MakeMKV doesn't find the JRE, so we would have to set the JRE path in MakeMKV settings.

Did you change the -o option for wget?

Sounds good then, but I'll have to wait for working MakeMKV.
