DVP5982 with USB hub?

[Fearnot]

Guys,

I grabbed one of those players and was wondering if anybody had luck running a USB hub on it? I tried one powered hub and it didnt work. It didnt see any device plugged in, that it otherwise saw..

Any experience?

Cheers

The USB feature is the best I have ever seen on a player

come on .... somebody must have tried that ...

Stand alone players are only capable of communicating with a single storage device over USB. They have a basic driver set only capable or recognizing and communicating with storage devices that meet a specific criteria. You're not the first person to try, and I've never seen one that worked.

Thats what I thought ...

I wanted to install a back USB port into my 5982 as the cable in the front looks ugly...

I could just connect a USB port in parallel to the exisitnt one and then only use one at a time but it would have been nicer to run the one port of the player into a HUB (in the inside) and then run one port from the hub to the front and back ..

cheers

Matt
