Can this TV play movies or videos (.mp4, .mvk, .avi, etc. w/subtitles) stored on usb flash drive if the drive is connected to usb input?

We have used it as you are stating and it does play the major formats .avi .mp4. .mvk had some issues. I love vlc and use it as a default player on my Mac which I have a hdmi cable direct to tv. .mvk doesn't allow for subtitle selection as it's intended.

Sorry, I can't help you. We are old people who have never even heard of what you're asking about. We only use the set to watch cable television and movies using a DVD player.

I have never tried to play movies/videos flash drive via usb port; so, I don't know if it can. I recommend looking at Samsung's website for the television specs & allowable inputs.

Section on connecting a USB device supports photo/music files on flash drives.

Yes. However, subtitles must be a part of the video file itself and not an independent SRT file.

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

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

Yes. I have a lot of videos on an external drive connected with USB to this player, plays beautifully without any problems or hiccups. It supports almost all video formats and has no problems with 1920 HD videos. I have played mkv, mp4, avi, divx hd, xvid. All work great, it even supports multiple subtitle tracks on mp4 and mkv. Any USB stick or drive will work, I have a 500 GB drive which gets power through the USB port even. If you turn off the player it will also remember where you left off on the videos (yes, the ones on your external drive/stick). Works like a charm!

Hi,I used this product to get the Digital Chanels from Local TV that old VCR can not tuner for. So to answer your question directly : YES. If you have a video file ( *.mp4 ) on USB, you plug into back of this unit then you can play on any TV with the Output HDMI cable. The good thing about this unit to me is that I can record TV programs ( digital channels ) to a USB and then play back later . Any more question, I will be glad to answer to you.Regards. Mr. Bui

You can attach a flash drive or anything with a USB plug, however I am not sure if the player will read all types of media. I have not tried to play anything a USB.

YES you can, It has played mp4, xvid .avi, x264 .mkv files so far for me. It has a code in it to register for protected dvix too. It is awesome, plays movies, music and pictures directly from USB thumb drive. Not sure yet what file types or codecs it won't play but it has played stuff my pc wouldn't play without a codec pack installed first.

MPG, MP4, AVI and WMV It 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.

Of course you can play any AVI directly from an USB pen drive... works perfect!!!I only have a doubt, have anyone tried to play any AVI from a portable Hard disk (USB 2.0) ?

This is a bare drive, not a standalone video player. It could be installed in your computer which (with an adequate video card) could provide a signal for your television or accept video inputs. But by itself the answer is definitely 'NO'.

No, it is not a standalone player - it's possible that the TV could have a USB port and player firmware built in, but I don't know any TVs that do that. There is no HDMI port on the drive.

Yes you can play movies through the USB connection. In fact, you can connect a PC to the television and play them right from your PC.

From what I've read you can only do pics and music through the TV's USB port, however the VIZIO VBR133 3D Blu-ray Disc Player, again from what I've read, does play video from thumb-drives or etc. Can't be absolutely sure on either count as I don't own them (yet) but I've read up a lot on them and that's been the general consensus.

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

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.

No. The TV cannot decode a Blu-Ray (or DVD) disk. You must either connect a stand-alone player or Blu-Ray capable PC to read and decode the disk and output the signal to the HDMI port on the tv. To confirm, I plugged my external USB optical drive into the USB port and was unable to read the disk at all.The USB port is intended to read and decode media files - typically avi, mp3, mp4 and mkv directly from a flash or laptop hard drive. This also works for 3d files in the side-by-side or over-under formats.
