Where are we in being able to play BD-XL discs?

[blahzay69]

Verbatim's white inkjet printable BDXL worked in the Panasonic DP-UB150-K. Player firmware version is 1.04. PS5 and Series X unable to recognize the disc. Thanks.

Mine is UB450 with ver. 1.15. does not read any BDXL.
its supposed to be the same unit with only DV. it even uses the same firmware. maybe there's a way to downgrade and check.

Thanks for the info. I noticed that firmware version 1.04 seems to be coming straight from the factory. On Panasonic's site, we can only find 2 versions of firmware for this model: 1.09 and 1.15. Our buddy with model UB450 can't read BDXL with version 1.15. Is this relevant? Unfortunately, I don't know.

My Oppo 203 reads BDXL beyond the 66GB mark, but only under these conditions: Verbatim M-DISC in Jawl case only (5 Pack or singles) no cake packs or non M-Disc, burning at x2 (No x4 or 2.4) with IMGBurn only. no need to jailbreak the Oppo 203 for this. works the same after jailbreak or without it.
Works 90% of the times and only if the disc is burned to all 3 layers (70-80GB). movies that was on 2 layers only was freez at the layer break and i had to skip a chapter.
My UB450 (which i bopught recently) didn't read any of my BDXL's and if someone can provide a solution to downgrade the firmware from 1.15 to 1.09 it will be helpfull.

Respectfully, I burned 25G and 50G Bluray discs and they played well on the PS5.

Unfortunately, firmware on Panasonic Bluray players can't be downgraded. Even a factory reset doesn't work.

For burning disc, are you using a "UHD friendly" burner?

Regards.

I thought adding custom firmware to make certain BD-ROM drives UHD Friendly only allowed the ripping of UHD discs?

[rick090]

Yes i got UHD friendly Drive LG WH16NS40. The UB450 thing is very frustrating as it should be the same as the UB150 that reported working with BDXL.

You are right! I forgot! Sorry.

The main problem is the firmware. It seems that manufacturer are adding protection to their players. In Japan, it seems that the manufacturers have unlocked BDXL in the Bluray players. Ordering a unit from Japan could be a solution. Japan and America are in the same Bluray zones (Zone A). However, DVD zones are different. Japan is in zone 2 and America is in zone 1. Panasonic players can be easily unlocked to become multi zones. It is a solution that I consider actually.

Unfortunately, this is not for Bluray players. Only UHD friendly drives.

[rick090]

The firmware problem is in the player (UB450). Not with the PC drive.

Hey !
Sorry about the delay.
I´ve tried mine on 1,2 and 3 layers BDXL discs(only Verbatim) and they work fine.
It might do a hiccup bteween layers, but mostly not.
BUT it might take up to 60 seconds to load the disc.
It can also say "Unknown Disc", but eject and try again and again...
My worst case was ejected 3 times before playing !
The JB itself can be dowloaded at another forum( will send you a PM with the link).
Its done with a USB stick, very easy, and works great !

I have a ub9000, so would there be any way to get the Japanese firmware to play bdxl discs?
Also is there any way to get a blank type of disc that UHD Blu-Ray uses to avoid this whole mess lol
