Re: "Copy Protection Key Exchange Failure" Error while ripping UHD discs
Are you using a VM?
Like I said this normally happens from low power but can also be caused by
Vms
USB cases not passing through libredrive commands

Re: "Copy Protection Key Exchange Failure" Error while ripping UHD discs
Likely a power error use a higher powered USB port or get high powered USB hub 35+ watts I have been using this drive with 2 USB 3.0 ports for the past year and was able to rip UHD discs in that time frame, so I don't think that is an issue. Also, since I posted this issue, I installed a trial of D...
