[SOLVED] External DVD player won't load DVDs

[blueeyes_]

My external DVD player won't load DVDs. When I put a disc in the player and plug it to my pc it sees the disc just fine but when I try to open it, it just loads forever and the file explorer might become unresponsive.
The DVD player does work on my laptop.

Have you tried connecting to a different USB port (like one on the back, connected directly to the motherboard, vice front panel connectors)?

Thank you! This fixed the problem!

Front panel connectors are notorious for not providing sufficient power to some connected devices. The ports connected directly to the motherboard don't (typically) have this problem.

You are most welcome. Have fun!
