The Command manual says some copied discs my not play. I suggest trying to copy it as a DVD format. It can play mp3s from a dvd too. For movies, make sure it's copied as PAL or NTCS and region 1.

you can't use the data format to burn the cd's or dvds. You have to use the native dvd format.

You can buy a hdmi to composite adaptor and connect a fire TV stick with your phone as a hotspot.

It worked for me and I was able to Netflix plex and prime and live TV using direct tv now.

iSimple ISHD01 MediaLinx HDMI To Composite Video/Audio Adapter Cable (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LUX1F5K/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_x3vdCb30SD71Z

It worked but then it fell apart so....but it works.

Someone on here built a plex server with a raspberry pi connected to a hard drive ...and connected it via the composite.

But that's a project.

Well,
That connection via a mobile phone seems logical but i need a permanent solution like putting all videos in it and playing for kids.

The picture quality won't be the best, but the easiest way would be to play off of the iPod through the aux input.
