Do you have BD-R or DVD-R with unclosed sessions ?
(... and how come ? Burn programs normally close their sessions.)

If so, then i would be interested in the SCSI log of a medium assessment:

  xorriso -scsi_log on -outdev /dev/sr0 -toc 2>&1 \
  | tee -i /tmp/xorriso_toc.log

Send xorriso_toc.log in private, as it might become lengthy and contains
individual information like the serial number of your drive.

Depending on what the SCSI dialog between libburn and the drive shows,
it might be possible to repair the last session by a run of

  xorriso -outdev /dev/sr0 -close_damaged force

Or, if you want to close the medium:

  xorriso -outdev /dev/sr0 -close on -close_damaged force


Have a nice day :)
