OIs it possible to play from the DVD player onto my laptop screen? The player has HDMI outputDIgital Out coaxial, Lan(100) output. My laptop
has dongles for HDMI or lan via the USB-C port. Usually HDMI goes out
of the laptop to a display, but I of course want into to display on
the computer screen. Is that possible?

I'd try using the usb-c connection. If it works then you should be able to play a dvd using vlc or any other video player that works with an optical drive.
Connecting using hdmi or digital isn't likely to work as the ports on the laptop
connect to the motherboard, not the laptop's monitor.

Summary: Your mistake was buying that in the first place.
That goes with your TV set... and that's it.

Ah well. Fortunately I did not buy it. A friend gave it to me. So not
only is the power plug a highly non-standard one, the whole system is.
Can it still play DVDs?
