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

This firmware is known. Your answer is at hand...

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
