LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

[Billycar11]

Hi. I have been buying and returning external blue ray rippers lately, trying to find one that would work to read and rip 4k UHD. This is the last one I got and it has firmware from 12/2022. I did not update this, this was fresh out of the box. I did not download a Pioneer utility to update firmware. When I looked at the guide and many posts, it has been written as 'after 12/2022'. Is this the bad firmware? I got this from amazon and it was listed as BD-RW BDR-XD08S, the box matches this (of course this could be repackaged). Does anyone have advice on if this is supported out of the box? Its not playing 4kUHD blue rays, only regular blu rays.

I thought I was getting this model (from the guide: drives that Currently work are:

BDR-XD08UMB-S Slim top load USB Rip speed 4x BD 66 ~1 Hour BD 100 ~1 hour 35mins)

No as the firmware is post 11/2022. You will have to wait for future support.

Nah what's not a 212 it's a L07
You got scammed probably a re stickered drive

[tomhitchman]

PIONEER BD-ROM BDC-TD04 (FW1.00) USB <----- any chance this is capable of using libredrive?

- Thank you. I appreciate your response and services offered. I ended up returning it and getting the archon drive from the Guide. Powershell doesn't like X86 file name so I am trying the SDFlasher. Overall I think this was the better choice.

So, I've been lucking for a few months and just got a Blu-ray for $70, NIB.

I cant make heads or tails of this thread and the "BDR-209" in the UHD Drive channel... Drive info below. Is it UHD possible or just LibreDrive?
