Not yet as firmware is post 11/2022 but I hear libredrive support is coming pretty soon! That doesn't mean it will do UHD though. Not sure if they will be able to be cross-flashed with MakeMKV's SDFtool. We will have to wait and see.
Cheers :D

Sadly, it seems that you are correct. I put a triple-layer UHD BD in, and it attempts to read for a minute and gives up with "no disc".

Send this dump, it looks like this particular disc is not enabled.
