Beachbody DVD to TV help?

Hi.
I have a lot of DVDs (Piyo, Yoga burn, step etc). I used to play them on the TV via the dvd slot. New TV doesn't have a DVD slot. I thought I could just play them via the USB port that is in the back of TVs but I can't seem to get that to work, either. They must all be saved in a different format (?). I don't know. Wondering if anyone has tried to keep using their workout DVDs. I hate to purchase a subscription to beachbody or bodi or whatever it is called now if I don't have to. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    How 'bout asking Google to help you attach your DVD player to your TV.

    Lots of videos to explain that online.

    I did; I tried the suggestions but they didn't work out.

    Generally you're going to want to use the HDMI input/output to connect the DVD player to the TV, not the USB. The USB port is to read directly from media (USB stick, hard drives), not to connect a device which reads separate media like a DVD player.

    can you connect it to your laptop or tablet then cast it to your tv?

    Invest in a blue ray box. That will play your DVD's and I don't think it will break the bank. But you still need to connect the blue ray box to your TV via an HDMI slot.
