Sony BDP-S780 and USB stick plugged: Does Sony not support this on the S780, f.e. by plugging a 4GB usb stick, like users describe to do so (or will they only use such to play from an usb)?

AJ ... the usb stick adds memory to the player which helps load certain BD discs. U can not record to it. U may be able to see photos on it, depending on the type of files U have. That kind of stuff works very well on a computer of course. I don't watch movies on a computer and I don't do internet stuff with a video player.

My Samsung Galaxy S3 runs Android 4.4.2 and it allows me to write to this Sony micro-USB drive. I just use the "My Files" app and can freely copy/move files around. No problems at all.Accoding to Sony operating instructions, you just need Android 4.0.3 or later.

The Philips website info says it plays mp4s but nothing about USB connection. I have have never tried to do so.

I am experiencing the same issue now. i searched the web and it looks like this is a common issue. So what now? trash it and buy the BDP-S570? I need some $$$ back from Sony at least.

Do you know if this will be available with new firmware? Do any Sony players have this feature?

I bought 2 from a car stereo store and tried to play videos from both. When it didn't work I did some research and learned they will only show pictures from the SD and USB. huge bummer. manual says: USB supports: MP3 and JPEG files only and will NOT support: BMP, M4P, WAV, ASF, H.264, DivX, WMA.

I contacted Sony customer support, here is the question and response: Model : bdp-s570 Question: When will you offer firmware that will allow more video file formats mkv, m4v, mp4, m2ts, etc... to be streamed over the network connection from a DLNA media server? At this point it plays very few file types. one of the main reasons I purchased this product was to stream video over my network. Thank You Response: Thank you for contacting Sony Support. I'm sorry, but there is no update available to support the additional file formats via DLNA. I've provided a link with the information on the file types that are supported when using the DLNA feature: http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C1017936 Thank you for your time.

I never have such a problem with my player. The Stephen`suggestion is one of the possible causes. Other alternatives are, update the firmware of the player by internet or if your player cannot access internet, download the update file to a pen drive in a computer connected to internet then update from the pen drive. Finally if the issue still persits, contact the Sony Support.

I drive a FJ and I have a stereo that I have two USB outlets. The stereo has a USB App that I use which shows the music on the USB Stick as well all the Recorded Radio Programs I have and I play them. I have over a dozen USB Sticks which I used but now I am switching over to Kingston Hyperx Predators because of the vast storage space and uses of their small compact sticks. Some stereo's only have USB slots for Map and system updates so you have to check if your USB is used for that, mine has a SD card slot for updates. My friends use their USB access for music, just like I do but not all stereo's do this.

I had already a Jessops USB Universal card reader that I used to read and transfer images from my 2 GB Memory Stick PRO, however later on I was not able to use it with my newly bought Sony 8 GB Memory Stick PRPO Duo Magic Gate Mark 2.Does any one know if this card reader transfer photos and files from Sony 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Magic Gate Mark 2? Any suggestion for any Sony 8GB Memory Stick PRO Duo Magic Gate Mark 2 card reader please. Thanks.

I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine. The thing is it has to be formatted to FAT32 or it won't read. I use a 128GB flash drive on two different Pioneer AVH models fine as well. According to the manual there are file and folder limits though (I think 15K file/1500folder, not positive though), so 256gb may be overkill to be honest (I do have 10K+ mp3 on my 128 with room for more). I only tried the 500GB out of curiosity.Also a note on the 160gb iPod working... that's because it runs off the iPod o/s, making the size and format irrelevant. It also runs much slower than using a usb drive as a result. I have a different model, but same line. It played from a 500GB usb drive fine.

Hi INES QUINONES, apparently adding or downloading and installing such apps like WWE is not supported by this Sony BDP-S580. -Ely

It is wifi ready, not wifi built-in. Meaning you have to plug something else in to receive the signal. The problem is that many USB adapters do not work with sony blu ray players. Sony says only their $80 adapter will work. What Janean and everyone is asking which USB adapters will work besides Sony's.
