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.

Hi,

Please assist with the upgrade of Pioneer drive to read UHD.

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

I purchased a Pioneer BDR-209 drive. Can you provide assistance to enable it to read UHD discs?
It is on a Windows 11 machine

Hello, friends!
I've got an XD08...is this flashable or otherwise upgradeable to rip UHDs? I'm a little lost.

No. The firmware is post 11/2022 and cannot be cross-flashed at this stage. You will have to wait for possible future cross-flash support.

Thanks so much for the clarification!
