[INFO] 3.1 otg DVD drive?

[iammodo]

Hi all

I've ordered a otg cable.
Just wondering when it comes can I plug a USB DVD drive into it?

Understand that I may be only able to use data DVDs due to software restrictions.
but if it was possible and someone made the software. Would be epic.

not sure but i will be willing to try when i get home from work. I use my otg cable for games but if it could do dvd drives to that would be great. I use a usb dvd burner for my laptop so i will try and get back to u unless someone des before me.

I dont see why it would be a problem. So long as the the filesystem is supported. Software support maybe a diffrent story (cdfs).

I just tried using an LG external DVD Burner. It powers up, but can't be read. Similarly to a thumb drive or external hard drive.

I would guess that this is all connected to the microSD issue where google can't figure out how to elegantly support external storage.

Hi,

I started a related topic about this issue too on this same forum, here:

Hey,

I think there ist a missing Kernel Module so the cd oder dvd drive don't work. Also when anybody compile the module it should work.

But I havn't not the experience to compile the Kernel module cdrom.

Great schreibnix
