LibreDrive for Pioneer drives

[BrantleyF]

Hi @coopervid,
Thank you very much for the PM!
Before I upgraded the firmware I looked into MakeMKV again an realised that the status actually says "Enabled", just like in my initial message that I posted in the form. I must have missed that because I'm 100% sure it stated "Possible, not yet enabled", the first time I started MakeMKV.
Between both outputs changing I have only started SDFtool Flascher (v1.3.6) but didn't flash anything.
So, my question is, do I need to flash my drive with the fw you provided (S8F01430.100 & S8F01431.102) or is that not necessary.

Hi,

Please assist with the upgrade of Pioneer drive to read UHD.

Libredrive enabled doesn't equal UHD capability. If you want to read UHDs you MUST flash the drive with the package you have now.

Hi,
Thank you very much for the clarification!

I purchased a Pioneer BDR-209 drive. Can you provide assistance to enable it to read UHD discs?
It is on a Windows 11 machine

Here is the information in MakeMKV without a disc inserted:

Hello, friends!
I've got an XD08...is this flashable or otherwise upgradeable to rip UHDs? I'm a little lost.

No. The firmware is post 11/2022 and cannot be cross-flashed at this stage. You will have to wait for possible future cross-flash support.

Thanks so much for the clarification!

This a UHD drive. It's already libredrive enabled and is ready to rip UHD discs. Pop in a UHD disc and start ripping it!

[foxale08]

Update 2: the drive physically says "BDR-UD04TBD" on the outside. (I'm adding this information so it may benefit others.)

Update: I figured it out. I needed an SDF update (manually downloaded sdf.bin, placed it in %UserProfile%\.MakeMKV
and fully shut down then turned the computer back on.) Not sure why MakeMKV didn't download the newest SDF file, it's a new install.

I am doing something wrong here?

Good evening,

Here are the credentials of my drive. This Is the first time it has shown status Enabled for LibreDrive since I owned it and it was one of the dreadful firmware 1.03 which wasn't supported initially. As this is a UHD "capable" drive, Do I still need to flash it to rip UHD? I have a Mac by the way, and don't have access to windows. Thank you in advance!
