Just someone who reads the same things posted month to month. Adding device=all just moves you on to the next hurdle.īadges? We don' need no stinkn' badges! As you suspect, I am not a handbrake developer. In this case, it isn't JUST the question of device access, but also making libdvdcss available for the sandboxed handbrake executable. That kind of effort would be a serious burden for the small team developing handbrake. Programs that aspire to keep up with copy protection don't do much else - the MakeMKV developer, for example, spent over a year developing a work-around for AACS version 2.1, which is only used on a tiny fraction of BDs and UHDs. The reasons given in ancient times (2009) for no longer actively supporting the use of libdvdcss were the fact that "little things" broke it (operating system security updates being a big one), and there are few resources available to track them. The developers did comment in that already. It should not need special access to read non-copy-protected files on mounted media. There were other flatpak suggestions made there. Using handbrake to rip copy-protected disks has not been supported for a dozen years. There was previous discussion on this as part of #3164 which is still open. I'm not sure if I should close this now or wait for a maintainer's opinion (I assume you're not one since you don't have any badge?). That would explain why "device=all" is not included. Low-level access to optical disks is not required for what handbrake is documented to do. But if this is not a use-case that HandBrake wants to support, I understand that. I did that, then have handbrake transcode output automatically. But on Flathub, generally applications are just granted whatever permissions they need to function properly as it's not reasonable to ship broken applications. copy protection from commercial software. Randomly assuming access to your system is not encouraged in the developer community anymore. I had to jump through some hoops to install libdvdcss.įlatpak is more restrictive such access is controlled, as you've found. If the non-flatpak version worked, your system has libdvdcss installed on it already and the operating system did not restrict it from being used.
