A friend of mine picked me up this over the holidays, because I built a NAS, and he mentioned running Jellyfin off it. That I could use this to rip my Blu-ray TV/Movie collection for streaming if I flashed it, and used MakeMKV. I'm new to this, and wasn't sure what to flash? All my 4k & regular blu-ray discs are bought in the US, so not sure if region matters.

My friend said he tried to get the Asus BW-16D1HT, but was out of stock so he got this. I waasn't sure looking at the all you need firmware pack if that Asus BW-16D1HT firmware works for this model too? Apologies if silly questions.

Well, you are asking for a PM for what exactly? You didn't copy and paste your MakeMKV drive info and libredrive info sections, so nobody knows what you want.

Sure! I can send you a PM. A recipe for eggs and bacon?

I'm wondering if there's anything I'm missing? I saw read about the sidegrade but everything seems to be written for the 16D1HT, so wanted to check with people that have successfully flashed drives similar to mine? I see users posting their drive info, so here's mine:

Thanks in advance for any info!
