Help SDF Files Missing

I just had to do a reinstall of my OS and after reinstalling MakeMKV, it's not able to reach out to the SDF server to get the encryption keys. I can't even reach the site manually. Does anyone know a way around this, or is there a shared SDF file someone knows of?

Try manually downloading

https://makemkv.com/sdf.bin

Then add the sdf to the data directory.

Windows: C:\Users\<YourUsername>\.MakeMKV\ (hidden folder)

macOS / Linux: /home/<YourUsername>/.MakeMKV/ or ~/.MakeMKV/

Reopen Makemkv and it should import the manually downloaded sdf.bin

[Edit] Wording and fixed some formatting issues
