I can't answer the first question since I don't have the Chromecast gadget, but, according to the adds, it should work if your tv has the hdmi input. And yes you can watch movies from a tbumb drive. Acer a200 performs well. Good luck. Bob H

There are devices available, that will help you to do it - USB Portable Media Players. It connects to the TV and you just need to plug in the portable drive into it to be able to watch the movies on TV. I personally have an Iomega screenplay media drive that is an external hard drive with capability to plug into tv to watch the movies.

I have no idea-the only way to find out would be to try. On a kick starter product. It does have a usb dongle, that's probably a minimum requirement.

Will the DV-970HD browse for and play a video_ts directory/vobs on a USB (FAT) hard drive... and support all menus?

No. To display stuff on a TV I'd buy a $30 Google Chrome cast and do it wirelessly. Can also rent or buy films as a bonus.

From what I've read you can only do pics and music through the TV's USB port, however the VIZIO VBR133 3D Blu-ray Disc Player, again from what I've read, does play video from thumb-drives or etc. Can't be absolutely sure on either count as I don't own them (yet) but I've read up a lot on them and that's been the general consensus.

I would guess no. Your tv would need software to play movies. So unless your tv explicitly states in the manual that it has the software to recognize and play dvd and bd's from usb, I would say no.

Yea. That is exactly how I have it set up. The dongle is plugged into my computer and the IR works independently for the TV.

Yes. Its possible but its only for a firmware update and presentation from other display devices that support USB videos like some high-end mobile phones. You cannot use the port to view slideshows or other files eg movies loaded on to the drive.

It only has an hdmi output that plugs into a tv. It has android software so if you can find an android app for it, it will work. I'm assuming you mean a 2tb hard drive or possibly a 2gb USB drive. Either one would need to be connected to the Internet to stream to the device.

Another option is buying a device like Roku which I hear will give you access to Amazon prime as well. This is larger in size than a dongle but may have better streaming.

Not sure but I know it won't give you hdmi and usb functionality at the same time.

It works fine. I just hooked up a USB hard drive to my Acer Chromebook and it can navigate all the files and folders. I played an MP4 video file and an MP3 video file which both opened in the Media Player app. I've read it will play anything that Flash / Chrome will play. I don't think it will play offline avi's but I'm not sure.

I'm not the most techey guy but what I can tell you is it sends a HDMI signal just like any HDMI signal from a VCR, DVD or cable box. If your TV works with any of the items I have listed then the dongle will work on your TV.

I don't think this is going to give you a complete yes. I did not hang onto the operating instructions for the additional features because my ROKU box does every thing I need. There is on top of the dvd player a sticker with an icon next to the built in apps. The sticker shows a section for usb that supports SD, music and photo/video. I am sorry but I have never tried the usb port.

No its not a wifi tv. Does have a usb slot for flash drives or the google flash drive.

Yes it can. I am actually using an external Blu-ray drive via USB 3.0 port.
