MakeMKV via Snapcraft stable channel doesn't open properly
What happened?
Happens on two different systems, both installed with:
sudo snap install makemkv
Result:
MakeMKV opens, but a modal alert pops up with the following message:
This application version is too old. Please download the latest version at http://www.makemkv.com/ or enter a registration key to continue using the current version.
There are two buttons: Register and OK. The OK button closes the app. No idea what the Register button does.
Installing via sudo snap install makemvk --edge does not have this issue.
What should have happened?
Opening MakeMKV via the stable channel shouldn't not work.

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.
