Version
What version are you using?

  • [*] WIP release (3975003) [note: I am not at a place where I can retry with the latest version, but the changes don't appear to affect my issue anyway.

Build
What runtime version are you using?

  • [9.0.9.sdk110-1] .NET 9.0 running on CachyOS

Describe the issue
MPF.CLI does not explicitly report protection scanning failing to run, instead reporting it as a lack of protection.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Insert a disc, such as a DVD-ROM, that has copy protection on it.
  2. Run ./MPF.CLI pc -t dvd -d /dev/sr0. This will run the program and dump the disc without specifying the mount path through --mounted.
  3. Wait for the dump to finish as normal.
  4. Scroll down to the protection information and you will see none listed despite the scanner failing to run.
    I assume there are other ways to reproduce this, but this is the easiest.

Expected behavior
MPF.CLI should throw a warning or error if the protection scanner fails to run.
