That's just plain stupid!

Where do you get off telling everyone that takes issue with your instructions that they should get an Ipad? All you had to do was make it clear in you're original post that the thing doesn't just play the movie. No one would be upset. But you made it sound like and by the looks of the posts I've read a lot of other people thought so too, that all you do is pop it in launch MXplayer and off you go. I find your attitude pretty irritating. I'm glad i read the rest of this tread so I didn't waste my time with this solution. Though it may make a good backup DVD drive for the PC. The crap your getting over this is self induced and pretty much deserved.

FYI - If you are running CleanROM on your TF700, you can now mount DVD's directly from the OS without a special DVD player. Just an FYI!

The kernel used by CleanROM (_that kernel) supports ISO9660 (CD/DVD) format directly in the OS!
[Asus Transformer TF700] billlh:
Thanks for the update. I'll have to check out CleanROM. I actually don't have a problem with just running the VOB files, I had the problem with this guys attitude and not bothering to specify this not so little detail. Then coping an attitude like "well if you don't get it you should have bought an Ipad" crap. I'm pretty sure most of us took it that this just allowed you to view the files in a file manager and do with them as you like. I wouldn't even be surprised if some player doesn't allow you to queue them up and play them in order anyway.

[Asus Transformer TF700] nerys71:
would really love for someone to make some actualy dvd playback software for these buggers :)

I ALSO really want something like NERO. ie the ability to copy dvd/cd or burn a cd/dvd or rip a cd to mp3

these devices are MORE than capable we just need the software.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Yeah, that would be awesome! I guess the demand just isn't there since most tablets don't easily connect to external DVD drives... Would be cool though!

Hmm, what about the Unix "cdrecord" and "mkisofs" utilities - anyone know if they have been ported to Android??
[Asus Transformer TF700] Flowerpot:
Copy Cd uncompressed using external dvd and Android Tab

Possibly a silly question,

but assuming that this drive reads cd, how hard would it be to transfer cd data, to microSD card on Android tablet uncompressed?

Do not need to be able to play the Cd on the tablet.

Would want to then rip the data on home pc to add to Flac / mp3 collection later.

Lots of friends have exciting cd collections, this would be a good way of sharing...

Some of them have ipads, imagine the shade of green they'd go ;)

Any problem playing Blu-ray disks?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nephtys59:
In AV mode the player is detected as a USB hard drive.

I do not think it can play blu-ray on tablet and anyway I do not have -at the moment- a blu ray disk to test.

I can tell you it works great on tablet with audio cds, data dvds, normal DVDs (this is the reason why I purchased it, mainly; it was annoying to move all my movies on USB key every time).

I love the fact that I can use this player on tablet, pc or mac without problems. Worth the buy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Smartie36:
Has anyone got the Sony SE-218 dvd drive to work via a OTG cable? Tried it on my Galaxy s3 and my Galaxy note 10.1 and so far it's a no go, obviously not enough power being supplied via the usb port, wonder if it would work if using a powered usb hub.
[Asus Transformer TF700] 10501050sarah:
help please

HiI followed the instructions , loaded mx player and the device is now recogised but once changing to AV mode and inserting a disc, when I select the VOB file it tries to play but then states 'video problem' can not play video file' what am I doing wrong. On a TF201 by the way with 4.1.1

thanks

Asus TF700 no play

How did you do it?

I have a Asus TF700 and could not get the Samsung SE218 to recognise DVDs at all.

Was there any extra software needed? What app did you use?

Would asppreciate any tips
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You can unlock and install a custom rom with one of that's kernels.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bagof:
How do I do this?

Thanks sbdags,

What does that mean? How do I install a custom ROM with kernels?
[Asus Transformer TF700] nerys71:
I wish someone would make dvd playback software for android. it would be nice especially with screen casting etc..

also dvd burning would be slick! not mastering just burning IE let me burn my pictures to a DVD etc.. that would be quite wicked :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Well if you hop on over to the CROMi-X thread it's all there. Once you have unlocked and installed a custom recovery like twrp you can flash my ROM, choose one of Mr _that's kernels and external USB CD and DVD devices will now be recognised.

It's 2014 - silver discs are ancient technology. :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
It may be "ancient", but it's still a heavily used media type... Truth is, most cars still use CD/DVD's for media playback and quite simply, it's still the most common removable media type in use today...

Hell, people are still using FAX machines - sometimes, old technology is still useful and relevant! :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] nerys71:
Silver discs are cheap

Silver discs are common

Silver discs I control

Silver discs are cheaply portable

Silver discs are non drm

Silver discs are more resilient and archival.

Silver discs are immune to infection and deletion.

Need I go on? Silver discs (actually purple) are just darned nice and convenient.

I've baught the Samsung SE-208BW/EUBS, because of the wifi option.

http://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0070WTVEC/ref=pe_386181_40444391_TE_item

http://www.samsung.com/fr/consumer/...d-writer/SE-208BW/EUBS?subsubtype=wi-fi-drive

Hope it will work

:fingers-crossed:;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] MelanieB:
Can you also play dvds on the se 208ab?

All right, I followed your excellent instructions below to the letter, hoping that they would work with my Samsung model. But alas! When I got to step #6, and inserted a disk and closed it, after much whirring noise, it reopened.

Then I looked up a review of the 208ab on samsung's site, which said to give too quick taps on the button in order to switch the device to a/v connectivity mode. Again, no luck. It can be viewed at samsung dot com/au/consumer/pc-peripherals/optical-disc-drive/dvd-rw/SE-208AB/TSBSA

Next, I watched on you-tube "veryannoyingname" successfully connect his Samsung optical dvd hub to his Nexus 7. It is at youtube dot com/watch?v=yvoyab75QgQ

Note that I would give the actual addresses, but this site ridiculously won't let me post any on my first post - so presumably you can neither click nor cut and paste >.<

Because both of you have successfully played dvds on a tablet using a Samsung dvd player with a/v option, one of two things is likely: I am not properly switching it to a/v mode, or the nexus 7 is incompatible with the se 208 ab -- or something else I haven't thought of.

And yes, I did acquire a powered USB hub in case it was a power issue to the dvd player; and I did indeed download the mxplayer app, which appears to be excellent but does not recognize the USB DVD player through the OTG cable.

Can you please help me troubleshoot and get this working? Thanks in advance
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
What ROM are you using?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MelanieB:
ROM ROM What ROM?

Don't know that ROM is relevant here. My system includes a Samsung SE 208AB DVD read/write player with A/V capability (allegedly), a USB powered hub, OTG cable, and my Asus Nexus 7 by Google with the MXPlayer downloaded from Google Play. Oh yes, it is running Android 4.4 (KitKat + upgrades). Does this help?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
The rom and kernel are very relevant - this thread is for the Asus TF700 which at the time was running Jelly Bean 4.2.1 and had the relevant modules for ISOs put into the kernel..... (_that kernel) supports ISO9660 (CD/DVD).

It sounds like you need to get a kernel with that functionality first and foremost .....
[Asus Transformer TF700] MelanieB:
Am I on the right thread here?

I don't believe I have a ROM or a kernel. Or an Asus TF700 for that matter. The subject line says to the effect [HOW TO] connect your tablet to my Samsung SE 218 dvd player. I was asking about connecting my tablet to my SE 208 instead - if it can be done the same way. However, is the tablet under discussion a generic one or only the Asus TF700 of which you speak? If so, then the whole discussion is moot. Sorry 'bout that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You are in the Transformer TF700 General forum so this was particular to that device as it has a keyboard dock with on board USB and a kernel with CD/DVD ISO support. To get it working on your Nexus 7 you will need a kernel to support it via the OTG USB adapter which would need it enabled in the kernel. Best to ask one of the Nexus 7 Kernel builders to look at _that's source code to see what he did to enable ISO support.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MelanieB:
Thanks very much!

Ah. I got here by search engine when I asked Google for the answer to the dvd - tablet question. Did not read the fine print - which tablet he was talking about. Or I presumed it was generic. #derp. Thanks for that very clear suggestion; I'll go find a Nexus 7 forum and look into a kernel for it. Your counsel is much appreciated!
[Asus Transformer TF700] bibbit1:
This thread made me curious...

Running CromiX with _that's kernel. I wanted to see if I could play an .iso movie file that I put on the external card. I tried a number of players (BS, MX, Wondershare) but for some reason could only get the video to play, no audio. The only one that has worked for me so far is Good Player (free from Play Store). I know some people have been looking for a way to access menus from ISO images that may not be accessible in conversions, so this may be an avenue for them.

Reading DVD on Tablet

I just bought the Samsung SE-218, I followed the instructions the best I could, when I closed the tray the unit whires then clicks then stops then repeats. Does not show up as a USB Device. Can anyone help? Thanks
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
And you have a TF700T, running _that's kernel?
[Asus Transformer TF700] bagof:
_that's kernel?

Hi

How do I run/install this kernel. How do I get it onto my machine?

Any simple to follow advice would be very much appreciated. At the moment my kid can only play his DVDs on my PC, which is a pain.

Thanks

P.S. I have a TF700T and am unable to run the Samsung se-218BB - it won't recognise it through the USB port. I have MX Player installed and have tried (without luck) the trick with holding the eject button to get the solid light.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You need to be unlocked with a custom recovery installed.

Pop into the general forum and follow the instructions in the stickies. You can then use the dev forums to install _that's kernel or install a custom rom with it included.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ano11:
I had the same problem, it was solved using a Y power cable (like the one that is shown in the Samsung manual) + an OTG cable.

It looks like my tablet has trouble doing OTG and giving power to the external device at the same time through one port/one cable.

Now with an external power source it is recognized by the tablet (Onda v975m) and I can put it in AV mode (green led on).

Reading data works fine now but playing DVD's still not working...
[Asus Transformer TF700] nerys71:
I still can't believe no one has made any honest to goodness dvd playback software for android yet. Strange.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ano11:
Today I tried XMBC 13.2 for Android ( free download from http://kodi.tv/xbmc-13-2-gotham-final-release/): I can finally play DVD's!

The funny thing is, I do not even have to put the Samsung DVD player in AV mode (green led on), this results in hanging for a long time on "Preparing external storage. Checking for errorrs..." everytime a DVD is put in the player.

(In AV mode the path is: \storage\external_storage\sda1 ; Android reports the DVD as having the "vfat" format after giving the command "blkid" in the adb shell)

In normal" mode, the path is \storage\external_storage\SR0 and I can play a DVD rightaway with XMBC! Android now recognizes the DVD as having the "udf" format.

EDIT: For getting the DVD menu to work, it looks like I still need the AV mode, but that "checking for errors" takes a terrible long time...

Wonderplayer and Daroon player did not work in my case...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ano11:
For getting rid of this "Checking for errors" for external sd-cards it seems it can be disabled by deleting \bin\fsck_msdos (you need root access for doing that).

I deleted both \sytem\bin\fsck_msdos and \system\bin\fsck.exfat but the tablet is still scanning the DVD for errors...

Any other ideas to stop that behaviour?

Maybe I need some monitoring tool to see what processes are active, apparently the fsck_msdos and fsck.exfat checks are not the culprits checking the vfat DVD...
[Asus Transformer TF700] nerys71:
nice! that link is unavailable? alternative link?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ano11:
? link works fine here!

As far as I know www.kodi.tv is the only place where you can find it. BTW, a new version has been released a few weeks ago, called Kodi 14.0 Helix.

I play a DVD by browsing to the VIDEO_TS directory, long-press on it until the option appears to "Play".

Now in Kodi 14.0 I also see a button to return to the DVD menu when playing a disk, I did not see it in the 13.2 version.

Are you overclocking your phone? That is one possibility. The other could be a dying battery. Does that happen even if phone is connected to charger? If yes then your battery might be okay.

What rom are you using? Is it a stock or a custom one? If you are running any not so stable version of custom rom then that could be another possibility.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ulbonado:
I'm not sure if all the JB ROMs offer this in the same way, but I'm on SlimBean 2.7 with Semaphore kernel, and it allows you to change the minimum clock speed of the processor when it's in standby and the voltages it uses at different speeds. These are under the main settings->performance. Others have reported that setting the minimum clock speed to 200MHz rather than 100, or slightly upping the voltage when it's in sleep mode, can cure these sleep death issues. I've never had the problem, but search the development forum and you should find other people's recommended settings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorbozo:
Captivate shuts down in standby

My phone does the same thing. It's a Captivate running Jelly Bean 4.2.1 (Slim-4.2.1.Beta.1-OFFICIAL) on a Semaphore kernel. It works perfectly when it's plugged into a computer through USB. Otherwise, it shuts down, or restarts, every single time it goes into standby, even when it's on a charger. I've tried raising the CPU speed, uninstalling SetCPU, re flashing the ROM, and nothing helps.

Is this a hardware issue, app issues, or does it have to do with the ROM or kernel? I had CyanogenMod 10.0 with a devil kernel running on it previously, and it did the same thing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myevilside4u:
Root Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 on ICS DDLP8/ DXLP9 4.0.3 Firmware

Caution:

For 4.0.3 DDLP8/ DXLP9 only.

Disable security tools installed on your computer so that it may not interrupt the rooting process.

Enable USB debugging on your Samsung Galaxy Note N7000. To do this, go to Settings > {} Developer Options > USB Debugging.

Download the rooting package for DDLP8 | DXLP9. The rooting package of DDLP8 and DXLP9 are different, so make sure to download the correct rooting package.

Download Odin required to carry out the rooting procedure.

File extracting software like WinRAR, WinZIP, 7-Zip or any other similar software.

Steps:

Follow the below mentioned process to root Samsung Galaxy Note N7000:

First of all download the respective rooting package as mentioned earlier for DDLP8 andDXLP9. Also download Odin. Extract the rooting package.

Open Odin on your computer.

Turn off your device to enter it in Download mode. Samsung Galaxy Note N7000 can be entered into Download mode by pressing Volume down Key, Center button (OK button) and while holding both of them simultaneously press the power button until the green robot is visible on the screen indicating that handset is in Download mode.

Connect the phone to the computer after which you get the COM port visible highlighted with yellow color as shown in the image.

After this, click on “PDA” present on right side and select the file named “CF-Root-SGN_DD_ODD_LP8-v5.5-CWM5.tar” for DDLP8 firmware or “CF-Root-SGN_DX_OLB_LP9-v5.5-CWM5.tar” for DXLP9 firmware from the extracted folder of rooting package.

Once the file is selected, click on Start to begin the rooting process. As soon as the rooting procedure is complete, your Galaxy Note N7000 device will be rebooted. Disconnect the phone once home screen is visible.

After rooting, enter your device into Recovery Mode. Recovery mode can be entered by pressing the Volume Up Key, center Button and while holding both of them simultaneously press the power button.

After i had gingerbread 2.3.6 I wanted to get ice cream sandwhich. I messed up my phone after that ( I got the phone, ! ,computer icon my screen and also my phone would say samsung galaxy s 4g and would keep restarting). But then i used odin (took me a day to fix it) and got the phone to go to gingerbread 2.3.5 and now my wifi is really weak. I had full wifi bars in my room before and now it shows 1 or 2 bars only. How can i fix the wifi? Or will I have to get 2.3.6 gingerbread again to fix it? I dont have the 2.3.6 gingerbread files so can someone please post them and tell me instructions on how to do it. I tried to update to gingerbread 2.3.6 again using samsung kies mini but when i connect it, under firmware version it says unregistered device and under firmware upgrade it says nothing. Im real nooby at this, if anyone can help me that would be great.

Why do you even need odin when you have heimdall? Heimdall replaces odin.

Yea, another guide for the same thing lumin30 already documented! And it's on the wiki.

You should be specific about versions you use. You do know. You downloaded the versions and flashed them to your phone.

Not technically. Blastoff is not based on AntonX's kernel. It integrates some of the changes AntonX made to do OC/UV, BLN, and Voodoo Sound.

YMMV, Different people use their phones in different ways that we cannot anticipate. How you use your phone is different then how I use mine. And we will both get different battery life results.
