Plug in the USB device, go to smart share, locate the device, then select movie/video, and play.

Click the home button on your remote control. There should be a widget called smartshare, all of the movies that are available from the USB will be located here. I believe the supported formats are listed in the user manual. Note: If you try to access the movie by selecting input-USB, some movies will not be able to access the proper codec (will not stream the video, but you may hear sound)

I haven't found a way to get SD or the USB to work for several formats of movies.

Yes, you can connect an external hard drive using one of two USB 2.0 ports (front or rear), and can then watch movies stored on the connected drive in any of the supported formats. If your external drive requires more power than one USB port can provide you may need to consider an externally powered drive like the WD MyBook or similar.

While i have not tried to play AVI or MP4 files through the USB, i don't think the TV will act a media player - the user's manual indicates traditional image and music files are supported, no mention of video files being suppported for playback.

No but you can plug a USB drive in to it and watch your movies and listen to music

Yes pretty much anything USB or SD will work. However I tried hooking up my external hard drive and it took so long to load I gave up. Although my HD is like 400gb so that's most likely why. But I've never had issues putting like 20 movies on a flash drive and playing them. Watch out for the file type tho, MKV files won't work

I think the flash drive needs to be in DOS format and you also need to connect a media player device to your TV . The media player will recognise most file formats. Check if it includes the wmv format . If not, try convert it to one of those formats that it recognise first.

Sorry, it seems to be DVD disc only. I've tried movies on the SD card and USB flashdrive, but it shows "unsupported media" on the screen.

No, you'll need to "rip" them first with a program like Joboshare DVD Ripper which will create a single "container" file that you can play via the usb port on you TV box or, in my case, I just plug it into my DVD player and select the USB entry button on my remote. The movie files are listed and you just click on the one you want to play. Nice thing about Joboshare is that by default it provides "jumps" every five minutes so that you can navigate quickly back and forth (the feature is adjustible). External hard drives like this are perfect for storing and playing media files.

M, sorry, but I'm not going to be much help with this question. I stream off Netflix and Hulu. Also watch DVDs via a blu-ray player hooked to the TV via HDMI. There are 2 USB ports on the TV, however.

How do you expect connecting an external drive to a TV to make any sense?!?

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.

What I did was converted anything I wanted to watch to avi. Thru a program called format factory. N make sure ur usb flash drive is no bigger than 4GB. Or else it won't work.

You could do this on this device. Just keep in mind that downloading movies is a violation of law . If you still do this, make sure your TV has a compatible USB port on it somewhere, and refer to your user manual on how to connect to the USB device.

Yes Harriet. As long as you have a television with USB ports you can do so. I watch movies I Watch movies in this way all the time on my Samsung tv. It is very convenient. Plug in the External drive and when it appears choose the video folder and your movies and shows will appear. Choose one, press enter on TV remote and you are go to go. Cheers

you don't have to use an external DVD drive - sheesh! use Handbrake to convert or download an .avi/mp4 version of your movie and watch it via streaming network feed, off a USB thumbdrive, off your SSD, or off an SDHC

Hi. You need to download a short authorization video from DIVX on to the USB drive then view and play it on the tv. Then it will work with DIVX videos and Photos will show up and you can view those as well. So you might want to get the free divx player/convert on your PC to use for loading your USB drive for HDTV use. I am pretty sure when your TV would not let you use your USB it told you a website to go to. Write it down and follow directions. Let me know if you need more help. vegaschris22@aol.com
