Is this good for watching Videos? both Online and from a file on a USB drive?

My son watches a lot of videos on YouTube and occasionally has issues where it locks up. Unsure if it's an issue with the Wi-Fi or the laptop. He still manages to watch them for hours at a time, so it can't be that big of an issue. :)

If your using the USB then yes, but I would recommend a NAS hard drive because it streams faster for video's than USB does. Hope this helps you.

Its fast and easy to play content from an external HDD with the WD TV Live. I've other issues with it but if this is your purpose to have one: yes, it's a good equipment using a USB 3.0 connection. I did not use no USB 2.0 external HDD, then, for this I can't help you.

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 have not had any success playing video files from my PC, however I have not spent much time trying.

I'm looking at ir. It is a diagnostic port only, you cannot show video from a USB drive, but you should be able to get power from it. Good luck.

Actually I can copy something to a disk, but I haven't tried to watch movies on this drive. The only thing is sometimes it just can be recognized by my laptop. And I have to try several times to make it to be recognized.

You should be able to plug it in any USB port on your desktop or laptop. The computer will ask you what you want to do. Just open files and search for the video that's on the disk.

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.

It works fine. I just hooked up a USB hard drive to my Acer Chromebook and it can navigate all the files and folders. I played an MP4 video file and an MP3 video file which both opened in the Media Player app. I've read it will play anything that Flash / Chrome will play. I don't think it will play offline avi's but I'm not sure.

Cannot answer your question with a bit rate number but I have no trouble watching a movie stored on USB connected via the adapter. The adapter allows connection of a mouse and keyboard (not together) also.

Yes,it can read external usb hard disk, we have tested with the 1TB seagate hard disk, and also can play videos on disk directly. also it support RMVB, you can use "MX PLAYER" to play the RMVB video.

Will the DV-970HD browse for and play a video_ts directory/vobs on a USB (FAT) hard drive... and support all menus?

It would depend on a number of factors. e.g. the format of the movie file, blue ray, mp4, oog, etc. It would also depend on the particular app. Does it support the files format? Or does it allow you to read from an external hard drive? I've plugged in a thumb drive into the unit being sold, and have been able to read/move files to and from the tablet. I've also been able to view some videos from the thumb drive. But I cannot say it would work for you for sure. It did for me.

You can playback directly from the device. I have uploaded through USB and off the SD Card.
