Thanks

enc, not main?

I did finally get it to work. I had to downgrade to 1.17.7. It seemed to work alright. I'm currently making a mkv from a bluray disc. We'll see if it works.

Should I have done enc instead of main? Do I need to do it again?
yes had to be enc

Just found this drive, will it be able to do 4kUHD out of the box? Can I flash it if not? I have seen conflicting reports online

Are you on Linux ARM or x64? I need to know to send the appropriate flasher.
