External DVD player not being recognized
I am running Zorin 9 64 bit, on an HP Pavillion dv6.Core i5.
I have a generic dvd player/burner that I plugged into my system and at first it was showing up, being mounted and reading what the dvd's were, but everytime I tried to play the movie it would error out and say Could Not Read Disc, which I thought was odd since it read it enough to recognize the title of the movie and listed it as the drive name after reading the disc.
After about three tries it stopped recognizing the drive all together and now I get nothing, even after reboot. This is a generic device, no name anywhere on it or numbers of any kind, and maybe that is the problem but I've never had any problems with it until now, and it looked lke it was working at first.
When I put the dvd directly into the laptop it recognizes it and plays it just fine. So I know it's not the disc.
I've tried VLC Player and every other player that comes with Zorin, but now it won't even show up.
