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.

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".

I bought another drive and would like to make it capable of reading UHD discs. Could you please help me get the flasher?

Hi,

I've just updated MakeMKV and its SDF.bin but I still can't read HDBD's. Is this still a work in progress?

I'm seeing that there was an update to the libredrive support for Pioneer drives? Does that mean I would be able to flash my BDR-209M drive to enable Libredrive on firmware 1.55? Attached the MakeMKV information below.

Libredrive is enabled but no UHD ripping. Check your PM.

Hmm, I tried running it according to the instructions but received an error message saying "failed to send kernel". Did I do something wrong?

Are you on Windows? Some VMs fail. Use VMWare.

Yes, I'm on Windows 10. I can try using VMWare. the firmware I received was for the BDR-211, will that work for my 209M drive? Thanks for the help!

I don't think he was indicating a VM improves the process - just that if you are using a VM, the settings of the virtualization app/virtual machine may cause issues.

I exclusively use macOS as my primary computer OS. I have never had a failure with MakeMKV/flashing tools in Windows 10 & 11 VMs, on UTM (Free/Open Source), vmWare Fusion & Parallels. Due to licensing & what I own, I often switch between Win 10/11 VMs on all three virtualization apps, when working with/flashing optical drives that require Windows.

Thanks,
Frank
