Georgiles Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 I use Leopard with an external USB DVD player. Apple DVD Player does not support External DVD drives, only internal. Gives this error: There was an initialization error A valid DVD drive could not be found. [-70012] How can I solve this problem? Anybody? Leads: Some people reported fixing this with a patch named useroppatch1.9.dmg. I could not find this patch anywhere. This patch in order to work required a special framework. This was reported working with Tiger not Leopard. Here is a guy talking with himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
certuna Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 The reason is that due to licensing issues, DVD Player/Front Row will never play DVD's from external drives. I would think that this limitation could easily be patched in the various OSX86 distributions, but perhaps not many people are aware? It is proving to be a serious setback for my Hackint0sh setup (which is a small box with only an external DVD drive). VLC, Handbrake and OSXBMC are not affected by the way.
