No worries. I have an LG that I bought from Marty that I am using in the meantime. Cheers

Word on the street from sources I would consider reliable is that it will be Real Soon Now(tm),

That was a temporary message.

Mike basically reset that post:

So? Automatic doesn't work.

Thanks but it didn't redirect.

Not for me presently but I'm only 1 interested user.

It wasn't meant to. My guess is he recreated the 'SDF update November 2025' post, which is now the link I shared. Maybe I'm wrong.

This new SDF, once working, still doesn't make a drive read UHD, right?

Not unless you have a UHD model.

I just want to make sure I am understanding correctly.

Based on the SDF update November 2025 I see that there are a bunch of BDR-209D firmware versions listed: Would this mean that a a BDR-209DBK (I am going to assume that BK means black) manufactured in 2022 it should now work?

For standard blu-ray, yes. For UHD no. If the firmware is pre 12/2022 it can be cross-flashed to a UHD model firmware.

For standard blu-ray, yes. For UHD no. If the firmware is pre 12/2022 it can be cross-flashed to a UHD model firmware.

I would be looking to UHD. Is the cross flashing something that I could do myself? I have previous flashed LG drives.

If the drive is manufactured before 12/2022 would that mean the firmware is okay? Would the version be on the label or it is something that would need to be dumped from the drive?
