Can you stream Videos (mp4s,mkvs,etc.) with the USB port?

Yes, when you select the USB as an input, it activates and powers the USB port and any device connected to it, and you can browse the contents just like on a computer. The remote control has a section to forward, play and skip files etc.

Yes if you're using USB 3.0. Movies will play on USB 2.0 but will be clunky instead of smooth animation.

I want to play videos on my surface pro 4. Will this device work for that purpose?

An iPad has no USB video port support. If you plug this into a WiFi broadcaster and download an ap on your iPad like CamSee you should be able to stream the video to your iPad via WiFi. A WiFi camera would cost less than this and a broadcaster together though.

I've yet to try and hook anything to the USB port. But I can say it doesn't have wifi. If has a network jack that it can be hard wired with. The features the network offers are convenient but if you are thinking you can play video over a network connection it can not. You can control it remotely over network and it can send you status updates about filter and bulb life over email.

I don't think so Christian. I think it can only display photos and play music via the USB port -- not videos. Also, I can't get it to display my photo's anyhow, so I can't even judge if that feature is good or not.

Yes you can, it came preinstalled with xbmc which can play .mkv files natively. Or if you choose you can download an app like MX player from the okay store which can play .mkv files

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 tried that yet, but will ask my husband to do it tonight if he has a wall adaptor and then let you know. It won't play MP4's though, only MP3.

You can play videos (plays MP4 and AVI only), but only from a card or USB stick attached directly to the frame. No video over the cloud.

Yes. Its possible but its only for a firmware update and presentation from other display devices that support USB videos like some high-end mobile phones. You cannot use the port to view slideshows or other files eg movies loaded on to the drive.

All I can say, B.R., is that ours is streaming beautifully via our home WiFi network so, I don't see why not. Via USB stick...it plays .mp4s perfectly. I haven't tried any of the other formats. The wife and I are very happy with it. :-)

no, you would need an usb to hdmi adapter I assume. As it is it has usb ports only

Don,t know about videos. USB port may allow speaker attachment. Will have to investigate myself.

The Philips website info says it plays mp4s but nothing about USB connection. I have have never tried to do so.
