Hello! I'm new to this LibreDrive for Pioneer drive train.
Recently bought a Pioneer sourced from Japan
Wonder will LibreDrive works on this drive?

I have MakeMKV 1.17.7. Do I need to update it?
No. Just insert a UHD disc and start ripping!
When I try to rip, I get this message:
LibreDrive compatible drive is required to open this disc - video can't be decrypted.
Failed to open disc
Any ideas are most welcome!

Is it possible to update the firmware of this drive to read UHD discs now?
