Great job re: Pioneer LibreDrive support!
Are Asus branded drives (Pioneer clones listed in the first post) as good burners as "real" Pioneer drives. I'm planning to get one of these drives mainly due to amazing BD50 burning capabilities.
For example these, which I could easily purchase from local retailers.
Asus SBW-06D5H-U (external)
Asus SBC-06D2X-U (external)
How about much cheaper internal drive Asus BW-16D1HT/B. There is no letter "U" in model number, but it is BD-XL drive.
And how about Pioneer BDR-212EBK. Again, no letter "U" but it is BD-XL drive.
Edit: just noticed elsewhere in other topic that Asus BW-16D1HT has MT1959 chipset, not Pioneer RS8xxx. That makes it LGE clone or am I mistaken?

SDF v85
Fixed some drives entering slow speed mode
Pioneer module in sdftool now has commands to view and change default speed mode. One less reason to download Pioneer drive utility

Just a curiosity if I can ask. Are UHD svq dumps made with S12UHT as good as the ones made with LG drives?

They should be. There doesn't seem to be any difference in functionality that I've seen except the all region code not being implemented yet.

I'm very confused now and I just couldn't find out. How do I enable Libredrive on my Pioneer BDR-212M1.00?
I try to do it on Linux, so I did
, which returned me:
Code: Select all
SDF.bin version: 0x0085
Drive Tool SDF present
Drive Specific SDF not present
Identification SDF present
[Identification SDF] Embedded Info Strings:
8000:LibreDrive Information
8013:Status
8102:Possible, not yet enabled
8001:Drive platform
:Pioneer RS8F00
8003:Firmware version
:ID56
[Identification SDF] Drive autodetect string:
Then I tried:
, which returned me
Code: Select all
Pioneer firmware module v1.20
Commands:
dump [auto|full] dumps firmware image
dump full - dumps full rom image (if not disabled in firmware)
dump auto - dumps full image if possible, info data otherwise
speed get - prints current speed mode setting
speed set MODE - writes new default speed mode to EEPROM
Therefore, no way to enable Libredrive.
I looked through the forum for hours and I just couldn't find it out. Everyone just takes the information I'm looking for, for granted, even in the ahem "Guides".
And please don't tell me something like: "just get the right firmware". That's not an answer.
The full answer would be:
use the command:
Code: Select all
sdftool -f sdf.bin -d /dev/sr0 -i firmware.bin flash
, where firmware.bin is the file from http://<well known address for everybody except datensenke>, or whatever.
(Yes, I'm very spoiled by Arch Linux Forums and Stackoverflow, indeed).

Your firmware is not supported. Ask Mike how to upload 1.00 or upgrade to 1.01.

The supported Pioneer firmware list is in the first post. No need to flash, it just works. If your drive is in the list but not the firmware version, either contact Mike to get your firmware extracted and added to the list or upgrade your firmware to an already compatible version via Pioneer flash tool.

Oh, holy sh...
I read in the thread, that there was an M212.00, but it's not in the list anymore.
Sorry, for being so angry. Now I have to be angry with me.

There is a 212M 1.01 in the list, so either contact Mike so he can extract and add your 1.00 firmware to the list or update your drive to 1.01 via Pioneer's flasher.

As of SDF v083, my Pioneer BDR-XD05 (3.00) is now LibreDrive compatible. Unfortunately I'm not having much luck with it. If a standard Blu-ray disc is inserted when starting MakeMKV, a fatal error occurs (screenshot attached). Loading a disc after starting MakeMKV also fails but no fatal error message is shown. I've attached the debug log files for both scenarios. (The 'STATUS_DEVICE_NOT_CONNECTED' message was only logged after I unplugged the USB cable)
Edit: I've tested MakeMKV v1.16.5 with SDF v07e again. The same drive/disc combination worked correctly with this configuration, but I can't seem to attach the log file.

This! I am on V1.21, but have the same issue with a standard Blu-ray.

You are getting a fatal error with SDF v86???? Did you try disabling LibreDrive for your drive? Please email/PM me, I'll ask for a log file for troubleshooting. Thanks!

Mike, how can we "disable" Libredrive?
