Revision: 1.05
Firmware date: 2023-08-01

It will just be a matter of flashing your drive using MakeMKV's built in sdftool (or the SDFTool Flasher GUI) when the time comes.jacksans wrote: ↑Mon May 12, 2025 11:46 pmI want to post this in case is it needed, since I saw the post that all Pioneers will eventually be supported I wanted to post my drive information to ensure you have the details in case it will be included for support.

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives
Excuse me, but where can I find all the updated Pioneer models compatible with Libredrive? Or could someone tell me here?

Re: LibreDrive for Pioneer drives
The only Pioneer models that are compatible are those with firmware pre 12/2022. All pioneer drives with firmware post 11/2022 may be able to be flashed for compatibility sometime in the future.
You can find the drive list in the ultimate UHD guide 2025.

Thanks! I'll get a Windows VM set up and follow the instructions you sent. I'll also work on a lens cleaning...Coopervid wrote: ↑Wed Apr 30, 2025 8:54 amPM sent.

I didn't see this firmware on the list of officially supported firmware versions, either. Here's the info panel:
