PIONEER S12 in macOS 15.3 / LibreDrive Enable ? but UHD disc is not read !

Post by timiorpheus » Wed Feb 05, 2025 9:50 pm

Good evening everyone,

First of all, excuse my approximate English.

I'm trying to browse the forum but without finding my answer.

The problem I'm having is the following,
I'm trying to extract my 4k UHD blu-rays but the player launches a kind of boot in loop without ever launching and I can't see if I'm in libredrive?
The disk ejects after a few seconds.

here are the logs obtained:
Debug log started at Wed Feb 5 21:28:50 2025 , written by MakeMKV v1.17.9 darwin(x64-release)
001005:0000 MakeMKV v1.17.9 darwin(x64-release) started
001004:0000 Debug log is enabled, it will be saved under file:///Users/timiorpheus/MakeMKV_log.txt
Using 262272KB for read cache.
Network access is ENABLED, CURL version 8.7.1/(SecureTransport) LibreSSL/3.3.6/1.63.0 (x86_64-apple-darwin24.0) , proxy server not set.
002010:0000 The optical drive "BD-RE PIONEER BD-RW BDR-S12 1.01 TFDL000608WLd" is opened in SE access mode.
SDF v098: PIONEER_BD-RW___BDR-S12_1.01_TFDL000608WL

Is it enough if the LibreDrive status is activated?
I saw in the last roadmap that pioneers on old firmware should work without flash

I specify that extractions of classic HD Blu-rays work without problem.

My config:
Mac Pro 2019
macOS Sequoia 15.3
the drive is in an OWC case in USB 3

Here is how the drive is recognized in MakeMKV:

Drive information
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-S12

Needs to be A s12u to see UHD if you have a windows PC I can flash it for you to do UHD

Whatever you do don't update the fw you have one of the best drives and updating it will ruin it
