:P I got this newest SDF.bin, and my 2023 XS07U w/ ID05 had LD enabled. It's now ripping its first BD.

Disc is being loaded

Having an interesting experience with this drive. I'm seeing that Libredrive is enabled, however, I can't actually get a UHD disc to load or open. It remains stuck in a "disc loading" state. No disc specific information is loaded in the right-hand info pane and I am never able to engage the decrypt button. Standard BDs will load fine, and will decrypt. A FW dump was sent in yesterday. My other drives submitted are working fine.

This is not a UHD model. It cannot read UHD discs. Libredrive does not equal UHD readability.
Cheers :D

Hah! Well that explains it... I've had it laying around for quite a while and completely forgot that detail. Thanks Marty!

Drive Information
OS device name: E:
Manufacturer: PIONEER
Product: BD-RW BDR-X13
Revision: 1.01
Serial number:
Firmware date: 2022-02-18
Bus encryption flags: 1B
Highest AACS version: 81

LibreDrive Information
Status: Possible, not yet enabled
Drive platform: Pioneer RS9400
Firmware version: ID56

No disc inserted
SDF downloaded automatically. No UHD functionality yet.

To be fair, the firmware with ID56 was not in the list of supported firmwares as of now anyways.

Anything i can do from my side to support the process?

Any chance cross-flashing will ever be a possibility?

Can confirm, BDR-XS07S shows Libredrive enabled and rips regular 1080P Blu-ray's without issue.
4K UHD is not working which is expected.
Custom burned 4k disc made from ripped ISO does work though, most likely due to the ISO encryption being cracked before burning onto the BD-R XL.
Overall very satisfied. I have plenty of other drives that I can rip UHD with, and I am still holding out hope that such a thing will be made possible on my XS07S with a future patch.
