[Request] Read/save firmware

I have a Plextor PX-716A which ImgBurn reports it having a 1.59 firmware, which I cannot find any information online about.

How can I use pxfw tool to save the existing firmware?

Slimtype DVD A DU8AESH 6P5M - Support missing

The problem

• When I try to verify my disc quality with the latest released version of this software, then at the middle of the process the drive stops, and I got error from the program or it marks the test is successfully completed.
• I think the program not really support this drive! I really need an assistance to get support this drive! I not really want to purchase other drive...
• Focus Tracking tests fails...

Solution

• Add support of this drive! If you need my help, I can try to help to you!

Linux AppImage doesn't have the LiteOn/Pioneer plugins

Only allows me to choose the benQ and NEC plugins.

Device serial number is truncated in the UI

Hello.

I have a LITEON iHAS124 F drive. I just noticed that this drive has a very long serial number (not sure if this is a thing with LITEON devices).

The QPxTool (v0.8.1-pl2) truncates the serial number in the UI.

SMART-BURN Media Check v3.5.5 shows the full serial number.

ImgBurn v2.5.8.0 also shows the full serial number.

P.S. I know this is an unofficial version, but I figured that I will report the issue here and (maybe) just send a link (pointing to this issue) to the QPxTool team.

Only the max drive speed is available

On some drives, only the max reading speed is available.

Obligation running .appimage as root

Hi, first of all, thx for continuing in this great tool, especially when many says that CD a DVD dying...

I've discovered, that I have to run .appimage as root to enable more tests. As you can see at the bottom.

Running as root:

Running as normal user:

Also "Focus/tracking" test does not work.

This is the case because scan is done so fast than gettimeofday doesn't have an high-enough resolution to properly compute speed.
We should use clock_gettime instead.

BD-R reported layer number is incorrect

We seem to miss a
drive->cmd[1] = 1; as the media type is BD
otherwise the data returned is always:

Media DI 0x00: 00 20 0E 01 00 01 01 20 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  | ................
Media DI 0x10: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  | ................

But it doesn't seem to be enough to get correct data.

For reference, data of a blank SONY BD-R QL, so 4 layers:

Error correction is not supported (or failed) with Samsung SE-506CB drive

The quality scanning feature is supported by the external blu ray burner Samsung SE-506CB, yet it does not work with QPxTool, tested with a BD-XL (TL) disc:

LiteOn plugin broken with CD & DVD

Upstream version 0.7.0 worked, but vanilla upstream 0.8.0 doesn't.
The scan fails immediately.

make install not compatible with multiple jobs

There is a race condition when gui is enabled alongside everything else and you use make -j10 or similar.

make -C plugins
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file '/var/tmp/portage/app-cdr/qpxtool-0.8.1.3/image/usr/bin/qpxtool': No such
 file or directory
make -C plugins
install-xattr: failed to stat /var/tmp/portage/app-cdr/qpxtool-0.8.1.3/image/usr/bin/qpxtool: No such file or director
y
make -C gui

This is definitely fixable but I do not know the solution yet.

No longer starts on Win98

The previous 0.7 release of qpxtool runs on Win98. It looks like the 32-bit binary is compiled for XP+ and fails to start on 98 due to missing AddVectorExceptionHandler support on this platform. I'm not sure if this is intentional, but if so it might be worth a note in the readme.
