We'll ask VU+ to modify the bb file. I assume this is also true for the other VU+ models?
Yes , unfortunately there is a but about using extrenal usb dvd/cd drives ,
1) The usb power supply off the duo2 is not enough for such devices ,
If You do not add the external power supply (mostly the devices do have a plug which makes that possible in the retail package but not the power supply self , what can be used as power supply is the apple ipad (not iphone that is to weak) power recharge supply)
2) If You restart the stb , You need to first remove the dvd or cd , unplug the extra extrenal power other wise there is a risk of a race condition during boot (ocationally but it may and does happen) .
My conclusion is that this is now the reason why it is not included by default , A very experienced user is needed rather a beta tester with good usb and linux knowledge to let it work , so not very stable.
And alternatif could be using a powered usb hub which also cut off the power from an end device up on restart or reboot , those exist but are difficult to find. Of course the manufacturer could have made his stb with a better power supply but a real good power supply on a vuduo2 will directly increase the hardware by +- 100 E so ....... That is only for the parts, the current power supply in a duo2 is very cheap pretty low level for such a high rank stb.
