Pioneer BDR-209M (8.11)

Hello
I have this external drive reader which I can confirm has libredrive mode, however it does not read 4K discs. Is there a particular firmware I need to make this happen? It currently does not register a 4K disc, though any other blu-ray (and ripping) has been excellent. It looks to be rebranded, as it's actually called a Buffalo 16x BDLXL USB 3.0 blu-ray burner.
Driver information is as follows:
