Damm.

Thanks anyway.

Hello I just started ripping blu-rays again after a two year hiatus and it looks like there has been some changes with pioneer drives. I posted the details for the original drive I got for ripping UHD disk. I want to make sure that my firmware is still supported. It appears to be so judging by the date. What is the latest version I can update my drive to while still keeping Libredrive support and also is there anything I can do to help since I have the original firmware for this drive?

Hi!
Im fairly new to the topic and also this forum...
In the initial post of this topic, it is stated that the BDR-207 drives from pioneer would likely stay unsupported. I have such a device and would like to know if there is anything I could help with to make this drive supported for UHD BluRays (normal DVD and BluRays work like a charm tho). It is a Pioneer BDR-207EBK with very old firmware and should be Triple-Layer BD compatible, at least it's got the BdXL mark on it.

[...]

soo I got myself a BDR-209, I want to crossflash it to the 211 to be able to read UHD disks. However, I cannot find the firmware as I am not able to dump it and the firmware download from pioneer for the 1.53 gives me a 404. Can someone assist?
Edit: Or is there a better way to make the BDR-209 UHD ready?

Nope, leave it alone. It is already UHD rip capable.

We've spent the past 2 years wishing, but nothing has happened yet .

Pioneer firmware >= December 2022 is notorious.

This one works, right?

[tennistmac]

My Pioneer drive worked all through 2023 and into 2024. I think it stopped working in the spring, I'm assuming it is due to upgrades in MakeMKV. I believe I'm good based on the firmware date to continue ripping Blu-ray disks.

Here is my drive info:

Doesn't 2014-12-26 pre-date the existence of UHD disks?
