I'm assuming this firmware also functions as a LibreDrive firmware for use with MakeMKV?

My understanding is that LibreDrive leverages a bug in the drives firmware such that decryption keys for Blu-ray was accessible. This OmniDrive seems to have little to do with decryption.

It is unclear to me why OP linked to an article that linked to a video that talks about the repo (I guess? Didn't click) instead of just.. you know.. LINKING THE REPO.

Thank you.

LibreDrive only works on certain firmwares that have the bug or are patched to expose it.

OmniDrive is one of the latter.

Yes, we absolutely don’t support this one, we should make it super duper clear how certain we are that we know we don’t support this one.

Maybe a X shape?
