Re: Passthrough a Libredrive drive to a VM (proxmox)

This is late but I recently tried to pass a blu-ray drive through proxmox and I found a post online that got it working. After some hours work I also got it to work. It is working a bit slower than if it was running on bare metal (instead of x6 my lg bu40n maxes out at x4-x5 it seems) This is the po...

Re: Need help with UHD disc with my lg bu40n

After trying to clean the disc multiple times I finally decided to try and clean the laser on the disc drive and that seemed to work.

Re: Need help with UHD disc with my lg bu40n

A question I have is if it could be the firmware on the drive? I have a drive with a rom version of 1.04 (on the sticker) and I have as can be seen flashed it so it thinks its revision is 1.03

I have an LG bu40n and just bought Bloodsport in 4k and wanted to rip it, however, my drive does not even recognize the disc (a 100gb disc )
Here is the info given by makemkv:

Revision: 1.03
Serial number: [redacted]
Firmware date: 2118-10-24 19:34
Bus encryption flags: 17
Highest AACS version: 72

LibreDrive Information

The drive also had some issues not long ago with reading Blu-rays, but it seems it has fixed itself. I don't know if my drive is being weird or if it is just not capable of reading the disc, even though it should be able to (according to what I know).
Give the disc a clean before trying again. Also, don't open MakeMKV until after the OS has initialised the disc.
It does not seem to help 😕 Since the os doesn't recognize it either
