If I have movies on an external hard drive can I view it with this adapter?

This simply adapts the mini display port output signal to a compatible VGA plug, the video drivers are doing the work inside the computer. It has no on-board video drivers.

Yes you can. The USB interface works quite well. I've tried AVI and MP4 files without issue.

No. You will need to hook up a laptop to the projector and plug the flash drive into your laptop and view it that way.

I have a WD external hard drive that I use to play movies/music on my sony blu-ray player.

Absolutely not. This accessory is only to swap the default USB plug of a Seagate GoFlex portable hard drive for a Firewire connector.To view videos and movies on your iPad, you have to use iTunes to upload them on your iPad or use an application like Dropbox to sync them.

Yes it Does. All your movies that you place on the drive can be uploaded from your windows computer. Now if you are asking can you stream movies on your windows computer. The answer is yes. Because of the drive has it own wifi signal. Just use your windows file explorer, and you will see your movies. There is a slight delay but it does work. This was tested on a windows 8, and 7 computer. I hope my answers help. Please feel free to ask for more information if needed.

I've played avi and mkv by connecting my external hard drive to a usb port. They were played well but the subtitle integrated in my mkv files couldn't be read.

Yes you can. Just put your SD card into the slot of the viewer, no problem.

Yes. The hard drive must be removed from the laptop and connected to the adapter. The adapter will of course be connected to another computer. You should be able to access and copy from the hard drive to the connected computer.

to my best recollection is not official pdf download of the instructions. Somebody may have made a PDF and posted it somewhere but I have never seen it. The unit comes with a very small and brief set of instructions (but you really dont need more, the device is self explanatory). You cannot use this on an external hard drive to watch movies, it will not read the files on the drive. If you want to watch a movie you need to put it on a thumb drive/flash drive. Also MKV for some reason on all these types of devices sucks and freezes up. You get better performance from MP$ files. you can email me further questions at rlalum@sbcglobal.net

I was able to get a couple of different USB-powered hard drives to work with the adapter. Different drives require different amounts of power, though, so I can't say it would work with your drive. I would guess that it probably would, though.

In theory, you should be able to; but in practice, I cannot say for sure since I do not have a Smart TV to test this theory out. If you already have the capability to play HD movies from your computer through the Smart TV, then the odds are more in your favor. Once you connect the external hard drives to your computer, then it should be just a matter of selecting your new NAS drives as the source.

I'm sure you can, as I have a 64gb thumb drive with movies that we access through the file system and watch on our tv.

No, you can use the external hard drive, it only support internal hard drive, sorry for that.

Yes, as long as (obviously) your hard drive can physically connect to it.One thing I have found about this device is that if you USB-connect it to a machine, and then connect a hard drive to it, sometimes that machine won't see the drive. But then you plug the USB end in to a different machine, and that machine *will* see the drive. I haven't done this enough to know the pattern to it, but I', just advising to not give-up if the drive can't be seen by a machine...go try another machine.

To be very honest with you I do not think the mini-usb port in back of the projector is for an external hard drive. I have several HD'S and none of them have a mini-usb-cable. ON page 9 of the owner's manual all it shows is the mini-usb cable to a lap-top. The usb button on the remote is non-working. A better bet would be to hook your external hard drive to a BD player w/a usb port or get a Western Digital media Center and you could connect your HD to the Media Center, either way your movies will be going through the HDMI cable which should give you a better picture than a straight usb cable to the projector.

Yes but you can only view it with their software included. When inserting the sd card into the usb adapter and then into a computer it will appear to be empty.
