@ilf0, as far as I know MakeMKV is broken across all Linux distributions using glibc 2.36. The problem lies in the binary blob at the heart of MakeMKV, and can only be fixed by the developer. It's been two months since the glibc change though, so the fact that the blob hasn't been updated is concerning.
However a fully functional MakeMKV installation, and VLC using it's Blu-ray enabling libraries, can be installed using Flatpaks from Flathub as I described below.
makemkv starts for me. But it sais "Downloading latest SDF to /home/user/.MakeMKV …", and after a while displays a popup "Fatal error occurred, program will now exit." with the only button an "OK" exiting the program.
Using Flatpaks from Flathub I was able to restore a fully functional MakeMKV/VLC system. MakeMKV rips disks just as well as ever, and VLC actually plays Blu-rays with menus better than ever. Note that the repeated execution of "flatpak install vlc" is not a mistake. Each time you execute the command a list of options is presented, and my instructions tell you which one to choose.
First install flatpak:
sudo pacman -S flatpak
Now reboot.
Install MakeMKV (choose "app/com.makemkv.MakeMKV/x86_64/stable"):
flatpak install makemkv
Install VLC (choose "app/org.videolan.VLC/x86_64/stable"):
flatpak install vlc
Install VLC MakeMKV plugin (choose latest version from list like "runtime/org.videolan.VLC.Plugin.makemkv/x86_64/3-21.08"):
flatpak install vlc
Install VLC Java plugin (choose latest version from list like "runtime/org.videolan.VLC.Plugin.bdj/x86_64/3-21.08"):
flatpak install vlc
Install VLC FDK-AAC plugin (choose latest version from list like "runtime/org.videolan.VLC.Plugin.fdkaac/x86_64/3-21.08"):
flatpak install vlc
That's it. MakeMKV/VLC should now run just as if they'd been installed normally. Except, like I said earlier, Blu-rays with menus actually seem to work better in VLC now.
Get yourself downgrade and run
sudo downgrade glibc=2.35-6 lib32-glibc=2.35-6 gcc-libs=12.1.0-3 gcc=12.1.0-3
Be aware that this breaks stuff that relies on GLIBC_2.36 (e.g. systemd) so make sure to update afterwards.
I got farther using flatpak, but all disc still fail :(
Try using flatpak and the version distributed on flathub. This works well for me. I just successfully ripped a DVD with it.
@chowbok You're absolutely correct. I deleted my comment to not lead to misinformation.
Don't see how a change in the headers could affect an already-compiled application.
I also downgraded gcc, gcc-libs, and llvm-libs.

This now depends on
libavcodec.soso when it needs to be rebuilded against newffmpegversion you are forced to uninstall first otherwise the update will be blockedfosskers commented on 2023-06-11 13:56 (UTC)
