How do you access videos from this flash to play on a smart TV? I uploaded windows video media files and now cannot watch them on my smart TV.

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.

Hi Cosmo - did you have any luck with Sony? When I called about 2 months ago there was no solution for the problem, which I thought was insane. There is a work-around that I discovered, and that is saving videos in a playlist which are browsable on the Sony player, so videos I want to watch on my TV I put in a playlist, but this gets annoying after awhile. If you had any luck getting this fixed please let us know!

Sorry I did not see this sooner. Yes, but you need to install Adobe Flash (already on your card in the download area). Limitation, if you are interested in using HDMI adapter to display it on a TV, this does not work with the card. Tested it again today (8/9/13).No guarantee how long this will work, since Amazon is in process of moving away from Flash support, even for their Windows access.

Glad I could help you and that you're now able to stream your MKVs! I didn't even bother with the CIFS Login/Password thing because the WMP12 server worked right away for me once I 'allowed' it in my Homegroup settings. If you ever figure out the CIFS thing, feel free to give us an update here and let us know what you did. I'm not really worried about it since the WMP12 feature works fine, but I'd still like to know just in case.

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.

I don't use the WD TV Play Media Player to stream video online. I use it to play video files I have stored on my WD TV Live Media Hub which is located in another room of my house. For that purpose it works great.

I updated the copy of Flash delivered with the AR3700 to the current version 10.1.85.3 at the Adobe Web site before trying any YouTube HD videos. (Also upgrade Acrobat Reader to the current version 9.4 while you're there.) If I right-click a video, and select Settings, it shows Adobe Flash Player Settings, and Display, and Enable hardware acceleration, which is checked. Try viewing the Toy Story 3 - Official Trailer [HD]. That one played perfectly for me both last night and again just now. I also just successfully watched the "Knives Out" music video by Radiohead on Hulu, in full screen mode on a 1600 by 1200 pixel screen. If your PC still can't view those videos, it's possible you have a hardware issue. One other thing you might check is the NVIDEA control panel, which in turn can take you to the NVIDEA Web site.

the WD TV Media player has a usb access on the side which you can connect your hard to or you can access media on your computer through the wifi network. I have windows seven and it is not user friendly, although I got it to work it takes a while to set and not worth the head ache. So I just transfer movies on to my portable hardrive then plug it into the WD player. hope that helps. Menu is very slow though but it works.

I have Windows 7, and all of the movies and videos I've downloaded to the computer are MP4 format. They play just fine. Hope this helps.

I've not found any website except hulu that don't work. The browser is basically google chrome and works the same way and even plays flash files.

You have to check the features off the Smart TV.Normally usb at TV levels are for pictures(cameras etc.) and mp3 music.streaming a High Resolution movie requires Caching and video related hardware. if Smart TV says it does mp4 then your movies have to be in that format. This USB is backward compatible. What you as is more off feature on the TV than this unit.If TV says it does avi,mp4 no problem. i have a cheap core2 duo optiplex and use Big Tv Screen as monitor,and watch anything i want. hope this helps

I haven't been able to play any videos from the camera on my computer. I emailed Olympus and they said to download their viewer. I haven't been able to do so yet but here is the link they provided. http://support.olympus-imaging.com/ov3download/ Please let me know if that helps.If you need any assistance with installing this software, please call Digital Technical Support telephone number (888-553-4448, Monday to Friday, 9am -9pm ET).

The device does not have a browser and the unit does not have Amazon as one of it's streaming video options. So, you cannot stream video from Amazon. However, it does have a usb port on the front of the unit that will allow you to play anything that is plugged into it. So, there are ways to save the video to a flash drive and then plug the flash drive into the usb port on the wd live. That's what I do.

This worked for me. Can you tell me what file types I should load if I want to play my own videos? Thanks!

I am having issues also. WMP doesn't recognize the files, KMPlayer plays audio and video but they are out of sync (video is too slow), Quicktime plays audio and video but the video is "jerky" and not as smooth as it should be, VLC was only playing the audio. I'm running out of things to try. -_-

I have only chraged my pen once and have used it acouple of times without problems. This may be a battery defect. Does anyone have any suggestions on downloading the video nontent from the pen. I have tried doing so using the usb cable as per the instructions, but I am not able to se the video. It seems to download the content, but when the media player comes up, it reads it as music eventhough there is no sound played. Any advise?
