Giving this a bump. Is this a supported drive yet?
Should be. Update your SDF.bin then reboot the drive and MakeMKV.

I seem to have found a drive (sold as BDR-212XJ) which isn't on the SDF supported list, and isn't even on the list of drives for which you do not have a firmware file. I've sent in the firmware dump to the support email.

Code: Select all

Drive Information
OS device name: /dev/sr0
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-212M
Revision: 1.01
Serial number: TLDL001005WL
Firmware date: 2020-07-21
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 81

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS8F00
Firmware version: GENE
Incidentally, this drive supports BDXL but not UltraHD. Is there any chance it can be cross-flashed to get UHD support?
