Can you watch videos from USB drive?

hadn't had it that long before sending it back to the seller.. games worked great.. apps worked great, smooth touch response and great visuals.. however i'm reluctant to say I had to inform them the Netflix app only offered audio so I sent it back for a replacement.. i'm still waiting to see what happens...

That I don't know. I've only streamed from the internet. I believed it has the capability to hook it up to the TV and view things, but I'm not sure about that. If it can play music and open the USB, I don't see why it couldn't do that too.

It is easy to format just go to format and select the drive letter. These flash drives handle video but a USB 3 drive will work better.

Yes, there is a USB port attached to the unit for you to connect a USB hard drive to. Obviously, the videos need to be in the supported format.

Yes, although I never used it. The directions stated that you can play movies from the usb port.

Buy a divx dvd player. The Philips DVP5960 can play divx files right from a usb drive.

No.. It only plays videos from DVD... USB will allow pics to be shown an screen captured.... Nice unit but limited

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.

Hi Phil, It does not appear that you can. There is only an input/output port where you can plug in an AV wire to view your videos on a television, and also a USB pops out that you can plug into your computer so you can download and view your videos that way, but it only has battery capability from what I can tell. Hope this helps. ~Ann

You just plug it and open the file explorer. In there you can access the flash drive.

I've only tested the USB port on it once, so I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you can only do a photo-slide show using a usb drive. Any video content has to come from an actual player of some sort (computer, DVD plater etc.). But like I said, I've only tried that once, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong :)

I formatted a thumb-drive as Linux EXT4 format and copied a 500MB Mpeg-4 video to the drive. I unmounted it from my Linux system and plugged the drive into my Chromebook 14-Q USB3 port (on the left edge). When I did that a "file browser" opened up and it showed the file listing of my video. When I double-clicked on the MP4 file the video played with audio. I was very pleasantly surprised. Depending on your storage media format and your video recording format, your mileage may vary. Good luck!

The usb port is just a port. Not a driver. It can play videos though your computer, DVD player, etc. It will not play directly from a thumb drive.

Absolutely.I have movies & HD videos, stored on mine (i've since purchased another).They transfer fast via 3.0, and you can watch them directly from the drive.

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 watch video on your computer. I put the mini sdhc disk in computer and double click on the video I want to watch. Don't know if you can look at owner manual I did not try

Yes you can. A USB flash drive functions like a hard drive or extra memory. Once you plug it into your USB port, you can download music , video or photos. Works as an extra storage device up to 256 GB.
