Thank you for all your efforts! Today I received my Pioneer drive and would also like to cross flash it in order to enable UHD support.

Thanks, this worked flawlessly! I used Windows 10 in Gnome Boxes and simply forwarded the USB adapter (JMicron JMS583Gen 2 to PCIe Gen3x2 Bridge) to the VM.

This should already be enabled. As it is not, you need to download the latest SDF.bin and put it in the MakeMKV data directory. Restart MakeMKV and it should be absorbed in to _private_data.tar and the drive should be libredrive enabled.
