Pioneer BDR-S13UBK Stopped Working

Post by creator »

Hey everyone. Last night my Pioneer drive stopped ripping blu-rays. Directly before it stopped working, I upgraded to Windows 11 and to MakeMKV 1.18.2. Before I updated, the highest AACS version was 82, but that wasn't either of the most recent disks (the last working disk was 36 and the first non-working disk was 50). Anyone have any insight on what might be causing this issue?

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, rebooting does not resolve the issue. I'm not sure if these messages are helpful, but this is what appears when MakeMKV is Scanning CD-ROM devices:

Eventually the disk shows up. But then the errors from my original post appear during the Decrypting phase.

Have you had any luck here? My BDR-S13U has also stopped working and is giving the following errors.

When first booting up, multiple lines of this:

I've installed the latest SDF.bin (I'm on a Mac), I've rebooted, power cycled, etc. and cannot get any blu rays to open properly anymore. This drive was purchased just this summer and was working great up until a couple months ago when it suddenly started throwing these errors (it's in the MercuryPro enclosure recommended by Billy as well).

In case it's useful, here's the drive information:

Just an update on this in case anyone else runs into this issue. I was able to get my drive working by deleting my _private_data.tar file and disabling internet updates in MakeMKV's preferences. I suspect something about the new sdf.bin is not playing nicely with my drive and causing all those problems.

I am in the same boat for a Pioneer BDR-S12U and BDR-S13UBK the above fix (deleting _private_data.tar and setting to offline) did not work. I have also tried cleaning the disks (though all of them are brand new out of the packaging) and the readers. I have tried multiple USB ports and both my Linux and MacOS machines. Functionally the same issues regardless of configuration, number of restarts, reader power cycles, etc. Any help would be appreciated.
