LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

[Wolf359]

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

I don't know but I think it can do BDXL. I was wondering if it can do it or not. I don't know if it needs to be flashed.

This one works, right?

Email me for a flasher

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:

And I didn't finish my thoughts. It no longer works with Bluray or 4K. I get an Error Code 3 in the debug logs. Is it tied to everything discussed here that I need to flash or change some settings?

Nope, nothing to do with flashing.

Hi,

I recently purchased a blu-ray (Wicked Little Letters) my drive wasn't happy reading at all (lots of hunting -> no disc detected). I bought a verbatim 43888 as recommended on this forum and that works absolutely perfectly. Thanks for the good tip. I thought, since I am playing around with this anyways, it might be nice to find out if anything can be done to improve the old drive before I give it away. I searched for my old drive's name in this thread and found a previous user with an earlier FW. Here is my info:

I am at a loss on what has happened then. I have tested this on my previous computer (Windows 11 x86) and new computer (Windows 11 ARM). It can no longer read Blue-Ray or 4K DVDs. It just spits them back out. I have turne don debug logs and I can get DEBUG Code 43620, Code 0, and Code 3. But no error codes.
Any idea or has the disc drive just gone bad?

If no discs work at all (any BD/DVD/CD) on any computer then I'd say both the violet and red lasers have died.

on XS drives when this happens i have seen it be the motor that failed.
only way to tell is to take it apart as the slot load mechanism spins the disc as it goes in and out as it grips it on the edge.
unlike a desktop drive where you can just put it in and eject and see if the disc moved at all.

you can sometimes kick start the motor lol if you want to have an open drive and kick start it every time i did it with one with a dead motor lol

PSA now most Pioneers come with new fw that prevents them from be crossflashed or downgraded do not buy one for UHD at this time[/u][/b]
Pioneer Drives need Firmware from before December 2022 firmware after this does not work do not update if you have a working one more on this in the coming weeks if they can be flashed. if your pioneer UHD drive does not work post your makemkv drive info here: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=27378

So regular DVDs still work. It was able to read the disc information on multiple discs.

But no luck with Blue-Ray or 4K DVDs. I'm guessing it uses the same motor and wouldn't be different based on the type of disc.

CD/DVD use the red laser. Blu-ray uses the violet laser. Sounds like the laser has died.

You can try clean the lasers the xs is quite difficult to take apart and put together correctly hard to describe what to do sorry
Best I can say is angle the hook clip on the outer shell when you put it back together
