Step-by-step: set up and use keydbcfg with MakeMKV
1. Understanding the tools
- Just Wait: MakeMKV updates its internal database every 1-2 months. Sometimes waiting is easier than messing with config files.
- Use VLC + Libaacs: VLC can use the same
KEYDB.cfg file if placed in C:\ProgramData\aacs\, but VLC is less reliable for 4K than MakeMKV.
- AnyDVD HD (Paid): This is a commercial driver that sits between your drive and the OS. It works automatically but costs money and is Windows-only.
- Fix: Your
keys_hashed.txt is out of date. Delete it, download a fresh KEYDB.cfg, and reconvert the hashes.
