Pioneer Drive support

[Avon662]

Happy to help with Pioneer support. Have been actively working to figure this out myself. to far less success then it appears you have had. This model, as best I can check, is libredrive supported. So it should be patchable.

Or if its easier. I could add the support myself. But I don't have enough specifics from your code alone. I understand the shape of it, But not the specifics required to actually add the drive support. Nor the methods you use to verify it is functional.

[MattJackson]

Thanks @Avon662 — the BDR-XD05 is exactly the drive we want data from.

1.6.13 is released: https://github.com/freemkv/freemkv/releases/tag/v1.6.13

Its info --share now captures a few additional drive-buffer responses on Pioneer / Renesas drives — the extra data we need to take the next step here. Could you grab 1.6.13 and re-run the same share you posted above, with the BDR-XD05 connected:

freemkv info disc:// --share

Answer y at the submit prompt (or copy the base64 block it prints) and drop the new profile in a reply. That gives us the additional buffers and we can continue debugging from there. Much appreciated!

[MattJackson]

Also — since you know this drive well and offered to help, want to work through it together 1-on-1? Easiest is our Discord: https://discord.gg/yu7xMGTyek — hop in and ping me and we can go back and forth in real time on the BDR-XD05. The info --share profile from 1.6.13 is the ideal starting point, and we can dig into the specifics from there.

[Avon662]

Ive testing this drive with makemkv. Libredrive support does work. However, I realized after trying to add it. I don't actually know how to do that. Good learning experience though.

[Avon662]

I don't use discord. But would be happy to help when I have the time. I was perticularly impressed that you managed to get a libredrive type system working. I investigated the same issue in depth. And had far less sucess.

[MattJackson]

Im at almost 12 months of work. I am also nearing the end of just writing my own firmware for MTK so everything will remain open source. No dependancy on any other person or software period. Pioneer is tricky but baby steps. Helps you can help as I don't have a pioneer to test myself

Appreciate the support greatly!

[MattJackson]

My understand with pioneer so far is nothing but OEM firmware should work, but thats what I am testing. Where as MediaTek need firmware (proven and close to done). Lets chat on discord 1: 1

[Avon662]

Small semi related question, I would rather ask here then open a new issue. I noticed freemkv has no encoding or muxing pipline. Direct copy. As far as QOL goes. Ive found AV1 to reap 2-4x gains on DVD media. (eg. 420 down to 128mb for a 8 minute clip) I was wondering if that was a planned feature. Or some kind of more modern compression. Or if not. That being due to the dependencies or just project priorities?

[Avon662]

Sorry about that. But I made a policy a long time ago to not keep adding more communication platforms to keep up with. Hard enough remembering to check github as it is.

[MattJackson]

No plans at this time to add encoding as there are other more robust platforms (https://handbrake.fr/) that can run on the output of freemkv.

[Avon662]

Gotcha. So If there is any other drive data I can dump that would be useful. Happy to help.

[MattJackson]

Will do. 1.6.14 is coming out today with some bigger changes. If you have a BD or UHD to rip not just a DVD it would be great to see where you stall/fail or succeed.

[Avon662]

As far as Im aware. This drive is not UHD capable. However, I have several BD I can test with it. Including ones I have verified do not have a direct VUK option. My only question is. If successful. Does the Info command unlock the drive? Say. I plugged in a supported model. Would the info command flip the correct switches? Or does that require going through the main CLI?

[MattJackson]

End goal is that just using the cli and/or autorip and/or gui will auto unlock the drive as needed. Just use it and it unlocks. Like it does for MEdiaTek drives. 1.6.14 may work but its early days
