All Pioneer drives will be LibreDrive supported

Hi ya'll.

So I'm new to this, just bought Pioneer BDR-XD08B with drive details below.
If it says LibreDrive enabled, does this mean I can start ripping 4K UHD discs? Or do I still need a separate firmware for my drive to do so.

This drive can't read 4K UHD discs as it is not a UHD model. It can't currently be cross-flashed with the available tools as the firmware is post 11/2022. Having libredrive enabled for standard blu-ray is the best this drive can get for now.

It may be possible in the future to cross-flash so check the forum every now and then for updates.

Definitely still hang on to it though, because it's still a good drive. And I'm sure Mike is working on the problem too.
