I am new to my Larkbox Pro and so far it has done what I have asked. However, I have not been able to get a DVD player/writer going on it. I have tried three with no success. Is it possible to have an external DVD player? If so do I need a powered hub? USB 2 or 3? Has anyone been able to run an external DVD? Any DVD model suggestions?
Note: I don’t need Blueray just DVD read and write. Blueray would be a plus though.
I have a Larkbox, not a Larkbox Pro, running 2OH2 version of Windows 10 Home. Google told me that I need to use VLC to play a DVD, I couldn’t get it to work with Media Player.
I have a little LiteOn USB DVD drive. I got it for $20 on Amazon in November of 2018.
Screenshot of the DVD playing. It doesn’t load the CPU that much. You can see my windows version at the bottom of this screenshot. Click the image for a larger view.
