[Bug]: 1.17.7 license expired - need a stable update to 1.18.2

[dadr]

What happened?

Existing snap provides a "license expired" message and exits.

Hi @lucyllewy just noting that we can jump two versions now. 1.17.9 is out. Thanks for providing this snap!

What should have happened?

This is expected behavior. MKV expires as shareware every 6 months.

  MakeMKV is your one-click solution to convert video that you own into free and
  patents-unencumbered format that can be played everywhere. MakeMKV is a format converter,
  otherwise called "transcoder". It converts the video clips from proprietary (and usually
  encrypted) disc into a set of MKV files, preserving most information but not changing it in any
  way. The MKV format can store multiple video/audio tracks with all meta-information and preserve
  chapters. There are many players that can play MKV files nearly on all platforms, and there are
  tools to convert MKV files to many formats, including DVD and Blu-ray discs.
  
  Additionally MakeMKV can instantly stream decrypted video without intermediate conversion to wide
  range of players, so you may watch Blu-ray and DVD discs with your favorite player on your
  favorite OS or on your favorite device.

@lucyllewy there was a new version released. Do you mind triggering a new build? I'm happy to test it in the edge channel and report back.

[lucyllewy]

I'll try to get this done in a few hours. Sorry for the loooong delay.

Hello there, just bumping this as I just had the same issue. Thank you very much for your work, I hope you are doing well and can free up some time to do this somewhat soon.

Now needs to be 1.18.2

I have resorted to just compiling from source on my computer for the last few releases. It's not that hard.
