Easy to install and works great.
Tested my external Rodzon dvd writer with a couple of rpi 3B powered with different power supplies, one with Raspbian and one with moode and both needed a powered hub for the Rodzon to work properly. I don't know if this is a 3B thing or it is the player draining to much power.

You're welcome
I'm not sure I'd blame this on the RPi3B per se. It's supposed to be able to supply a combined 1.2A draw through its 4 USB ports. I can't find much data out there about current/power consumption by various drives, though. It would seem that the only way to be confident a particular drive wouldn't require a powered hub is to test it. As always, the power supply and power cable have to be up to the task, too.
And I need to get back to the promised Version 1 of the CDPlay
