Does this model support USB playback for videos (avi, mp4, mkv, wmv, 3gp, mov) from flash or extrenal HDD?

If it won't play DIVX files.....Download a program called "FourC Codec Changer" from the web.. Install the program and open. Next open the DIVX file you want to play in the program. In the "four cc description" box it will show the DIVX codec. Next in the "Four cc Used box" change that to .xvid. Now choose "apply" and exit.....Now it will play when you put it back in the USB port!

It has USB ports but they seem to be for gaming systems as it does not recognize videos on a USB stick or a USB Blu-ray player.

no.It is not capable of recognizing operating systems.The usb works as a input,not output.In other words not both ways.It does play mp4s from a usb thumb drive,but output via hdmi.so you'ld have to have hdmi input on laptop or tv/monitor.

Ronald I'm not 100% sure, I know there was some items that allowed to be upgraded, been a while since I bought, I use an external drive for tons of video and pic's, works like a champ got a 1 terabyte drive with USB

It may, but the speed constraints of USB1.1 will mean the playback would be choppy, with audio and video out of sync. I can't even get a Divx encoded file to play from a USB drive without some amount of glitches.

I haven't used this feature much, but it has played an MKV file via a thumb drive on the USB port. I don't remember which audio/video codecs that MKV used. The Samsung page on it says that it plays "MPEG-2, MPEG-4, JPEG, DivX HD, AVCHD, MKV, WMV" formats. http://www.samsung.com/us/video/blu-ray-dvd/BD-F5100/ZA-specs Hope that helps, -Dan

I have not used that drive, but I have used a Western Digital 3TB USB 3.0 drive with no problem at all. No problem playing any format video that I have come across with the player.

Does anyone know if you can play avi files (divx, xvid) from a USB thumb drive plugged into the front? The description just lists photos for the USB drive.

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 play music and videos fine from the internal memory. Mp3 for songs and mpeg2 works for videos hope this helps!

MPG, MP4, AVI and WMVIt is really plug and play. You have to use the V button on the remote then scroll over to Multimedia, click and you will see the Flash Drive. After clicking on it you have to answer the question Photos, videos or music and you can then go to the drive and move through folders if any. I have some 40 year old Super 8 video's that I converted to MPG's 25 years ago and they play although the quality is not that great but most everything else looks great. I have the 55" model.

My Coby TF-DVD7377 reads and plays USB flash sticks with no problem. The ones I'm using are an 8-gig Lexar (for video) and a 4-gig Dane-Elec (for MP3 music). I do not currently own one of the newer USB-powered external hard drives, so I cannot comment on that. However, this Coby player is able to read and play files from my five-year-old Western Digital 80-gig hard drive (the WD drive is powered by an AC adapter).

Avi yes, mkv and mp4 no, however the movie clips must be small to view ok, otherwise is working with stopage.

The only files this TV plays using the USB input are JPG/JPEG photo-picture file types. It will not recognize MP3,MP4,AVI,MKV,VOB, etc.

A better question is what format will it not play. I have been able to play divx 4.x and 5.x,asi .mp4,vob,mov and .mkv 4:3&16:9 video files off of a usb on it. This is very nice if you have a lot of personal video files that you want to watch on your tv without having to do extra work converting and burning the video files to disc. I use a 1 tb external drive for storage(to play) and I have an external WD 2.5 500gb for recording with no problems. Be sure to download and install the update software first thing. Also if you are going to record from it be sure and format the drive to ntfs or you will have multiple files for each recording.(unless that is what you want)
