Just wondered if anyone had any recommendations for a small usb dvd player to plug into the Vero
I have several of different vintages of USB DVD player lying around . The newest one takes its power from the USB (doesn’t have a power cable) but the Vero’s tend to be erratic in recognising it- 4 out 5 it is not recognised (led flashes but no ‘disc’ menu item) When it is recognised usually after a reboot, the play disk button often does not work.
I wonder if this is because it demands too much power over USB? (it is a cheapo chinese Salcar ODD device
- mind you I have 2 LG slimline older DVD players with a separate power source and they do not connect very well either… One has to reboot before the ‘disc’ menu will appear yet leaving one connected seems to make boot up very slowly indeed.
On the plus side the LG powered DVD’s are more reliable on bringing up the ‘disc’ menu item and playing properly.
Just wondered what kit other people use (powered non powered - what brands to look out for)
(Salvaged from an old PC) For testing. Connected through an IDE to USB adapter. Interestingly enough I needed to connect it directly to the Vero. Through an USB hub, bandwidth did not seem enough.
