Re: Pioneer BDR-UD03 UHD possibility
thx, but MakeMKV does not show any change in firmware. It is true that Disc information is now showed, but not playable.
(I tried 3). It does copy content to disk.
BTW playerfab still says it does not recognize drive.
see printscreen attachment

Re: Pioneer BDR-UD03 UHD possibility
You have other issues the fw did change it's now a ud04.
And sees UHD
Your issue is your ISP blocking key downloads

Re: Pioneer BDR-UD03 UHD possibility
Oh, you are right, that string has changed.
I do not think it is about blocked download, I do not see any indication of it, more like those keys do not exist for my UHD?
But that would be my problem, you have solved the first part for me, thx very much.
