18.x works fine for me, I've never had the issues most other people have as I build it from source... its the enclosure.

Re: PSA: New Archgon UHD drives do not allow flashing
I already did, as I said the drive itself works in the old enclosure. Its just the new enclosure that's the issue. Maybe mike can bypass the restriction in a future version of makemkv if that is the root issue.

Re: PSA: New Archgon UHD drives do not allow flashing
Post the Makemkv info. Make sure it's a MT1959 drive. You know that you have to switch enclosures for flashing? I already swapped and flashed it do bu40n 1.00 as Im running linux, my other bu40ns work perfectly fine... well one is dying which is I grabbed the new archgon. Drive Information OS devic...

Re: PSA: New Archgon UHD drives do not allow flashing
I guess it's a power problem. Use a powered USB hub. Your ports don't seem to provide enough power and these enclosures might be not be power efficient. We have seen that with the Verbatim enclosures. The port works fine with the old archgon, the old vantec, but not the new archgon... we already kn...

Re: PSA: New Archgon UHD drives do not allow flashing
I was able to get it flashed with a third party enclosure. However when it was reassembled I found that even though MakeMKV was able to see it as patched. When it tried to rip a UHD of a known good disc it would say aacs unknown and create a dump of the disc. Not sure if the chip has something to d...

Re: Archgon MD-8107-U3 absolutely not flashable - New Revision?
The Enclosure is currently unable to be flashed from, but if you want to, you can remove the drive from the enclosure (screws under back two pads) and place it in the old drives one and flash it from there, I just did that on one I just got and it works nicely. I appreciate the usb c port so much mo...

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?
