Not possible currently as your firmware is too new. You have to wait for a solution mike is working on.

Hello.

I am sorry to be asking as I am sure that somewhere here there is a reply already.

I've read some conflicting information about whether my drive can or cannot be made to support UHD as its drive platform is "Pioneer RS8510" and some places say that it must be MT1959 or else don't bother. I read that if the drive name has a "U" it supports UHD and mine has. Anyway here is my drive info from MakeMKV:

Code: Select all

Drive Information
OS device name: F:
Current profile: BD-ROM
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDRUD03AS
Revision: 1.00
Firmware date: 2014-04-01
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 68

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8510
Firmware version: ID23
Thanks in advance.

No, the firmware is too new (post November 2022). You will have to wait for support, which should happen at some point in the future.
Cheers :D
