LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

[BrantleyF]

Hi @coopervid,
Thank you very much for the PM!
Before I upgraded the firmware I looked into MakeMKV again an realised that the status actually says "Enabled", just like in my initial message that I posted in the form. I must have missed that because I'm 100% sure it stated "Possible, not yet enabled", the first time I started MakeMKV.
Between both outputs changing I have only started SDFtool Flascher (v1.3.6) but didn't flash anything.
So, my question is, do I need to flash my drive with the fw you provided (S8F01430.100 & S8F01431.102) or is that not necessary.

Libredrive enabled doesn't equal UHD capability. If you want to read UHDs you MUST flash the drive with the package you have now.
