Hi friends,
I’m using a Pioneer External Blu-ray Drive BDR-XD08B USB 3.2 Gen1 (USB Type-C) / 2.0 Slim Portable BD/DVD/CD Writer drive on macOS. MakeMKV shows “LibreDrive possible, not yet enabled.”
Attached’s my firmware dump file. Could you please help enable LibreDrive?
Thanks so much,
Irene

All I can say now is "Patience, Grasshopper!"

Hi Mr Penguin thanks for the reply--I've gone to that page but it's all to technical for me, just a casual user. Does this message mean I'll get a DM with a Libredrive patch or that there is no patch avail yet? Thank you
