Everyone please read:
In talking things over with testiles, I've decided to make some pretty big changes to scanner. I realize these may not be welcome changes to some people but you need to understand why I'm making them. The above report illustrates the issue.
Starting in the next version of the scanner which I'm working on as I type, it is going to prompt you if you are not configured to use the keydb and ask you if you want the scanner to configure it for you or not. If you choose no, and this is the controversial part, the scanner is going to exit. The reason for this change is simple. The keydb is a very big source of keys for the public. It makes no sense to list something as unsupported when a simple download of the keydb could potentially resolve that.
The other change that I'm going to make is something I haven't told testiles about yet. Surprise, testiles. LOL
The scanner, when you start it up, is going to TEMPORARILY change AnyDVD's UHD key scan method to Search all keys (slow). Don't worry, when the scanner exits it'll return AnyDVD to whatever you had set previously (although it REALLY should be default or Search all keys IMO). This means that the scans might take a little bit longer. But I really feel this is an important change so that we eliminate all possibilities of a title being unsupported. This is the best way we can help AnyDVD help us. After all, that's what the scanner is all about, right?
@testiles I'll reply to our PM about that thing we discussed earlier. Given the changes I'm putting in here, I don't think it'll be necessary but if you feel you still want it I can add it.
The next version will be out in a few hours after I've finished coding it and tested it. It WILL become min version once we know it works as expected.
