Re: Can't detect a disk's second layer except in a real player

If they are legit, it could be disc rot. I ripped my SG1 collection a few years back but apparently a lot of dvds produced between 2006 - 2009 from Warner have issues.
SG1 is included in the list here.

Re: Linux-Version not on Download

I just manually changed the .1 to .2 on the download link and got it to download, haven't had the chance to compile it yet... or check and see if I need to update the ffabi.c file still for ffmpeg...

Quick edit, compiles fine with the newest version of ffmpeg yay.

Re: All Pioneer drives will be LibreDrive supported

This is great new in light of pioneer quitting the market, I do have a question though, on amazon I see a newer variant of the BDR-XS07UHD with a usb c port in lieu of a standard usb 3 micro port, will this be also easily flashable or should I grab one of the older versions of the BDR-XS07UHD?

Re: Out of the Box Optical Drive?

The Archgon is a bu40n that is easily flashable, I've been using a bu40n for quite awhile and its great for bluray and dvd's, I only have a few double layer uhd's and it ripped them fine but apparently it doesn't like triple layer uhd's much... and it also has some issues with some dvd copy protecti...

Re: [Updated & Workaround] TrueHD 7.1 Not Playing in Plex From 4K Rips

I just installed 1.17.5 on kubuntu 23.10 and it seems like it was fixed? I haven't actually ripped it yet but its showing up now with proper channels instead of zero. I did have to rip a git master copy of ffmpeg instead of using the 6.0 release tarball because it wouldn't compile so it might be due...

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

I ordered one of the last BDR-XS07UHD drives from Adorama, hopefully it comes on 1.02. Should be arriving in the next few days... Would be nice to have another drive other than my BU40N and my BP50NB40...
