That worked. I'm done with this but good luck getting the proxy to work, that could be handy for some.
The real situation is that it only doesn't work with certain drives, while other ODDs work perfectly. It doesn't work with my ASUS BW-16D1HT (3.10-MK) drive, but others have no problem with it, and even in this 64+32 bit combination they have no problem with their UHD drive.

What exact optical drive model do you have and what firmware is on it?

Asus BW-16D1HT 3.10 (2 models, same as yours)
Pioneer BDR-XD07S (slim model)
LG BP50NB40 (NB50) (slim model)
Pioneer BDR-212V (2 models)
LG WH14NS40 (although this is a really bad drive, I should trash it)

The exact firmwares I'm not sure, I got all firmware from Coopervid and they work.

On a RPi 3, they worked as expected under Debian/Raspian, but none worked as expected in CoreELEC. To be clear, they're all semi-functional in CoreELEC's Kodi, as in Kodi can detect the disc as a "Blu-Ray" and even browse the disc's FS, but Kodi cannot play anything from the disc, not in player mode or by accessing the .m2ts directly.

In my opinion this isn't solely a MakeMKV problem or possibly at all, but this is definitely a CoreELEC distro problem.

Something seems to be blocking, but I'm not too sure if non-blocking would help :-/. I was going to install 1.47 armhf sg3_utils build here https://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html, but I gave up trying to figure that out.

Why didn't CoreELEC use Debian and dpkg or even Alpine and APK? Once you've chosen to use Systemd, who are you kidding with the labeling of embedded "JeOS". I scoured their forum trying to rationalize the usage of 64/32, but the only legitimate reason I saw for not using pure 64-bit was for Widevine support, although I'm not sure if that is still a valid reason.
