I have had mine for almost a year and still works well, but I think in the instructions it says you can play off a drive but i don't remember anything about a phone,

No I don't think so. And mine broke after only three months. I would say don't buy it.

Yes it can. I am actually using an external Blu-ray drive via USB 3.0 port.

Yep! I would suggest choosing the program to play it through instead of letting it autoplay, but it has a disk drive.

The manual says it only supports playback of pictures from USB devices, though it lists the supported file types as JPG, DIVX, and MP3. I have never tried playing anything from a USB drive on this device, and don't know if firmware updates might have changed what is described in the manual.

I recommend using a playstation 3 for that. It'll play movies from usb stick or sd, pro duo memory cards. I also use mine for blueray and dvds.

Yes, it can play music. I use it with HTCOneS and it also works with videos.

As long you have the correct codecs for your OS, it should play. It has nothing to do with the dvd or blu ray drive, rather the player (software apps) playing the VLC files.

Sure, if it's connected to a PC or laptop with the appropriate software to view a movie (I'm assuming a movie on DVD is what you mean).

It doesn't "play" movies, it sends them to your device to play them. Your tablet or phone would need to be able to play m4v movies.

The USB port only plays music (I believe in mp3 format) and pictures (in jpg). Movies don't work, unfortunately.

on question 1 yes, i play movies off a couple extra drives i have installed in my computer.on question 2, it says it can, but i have not tried it yet for the simple fact i like the hard disc media for 3d movies.

Yes, you can connect a USB drive directly or access your files on the network. I have downloaded Plex Media Player from the Google Play store, and I love it. It catalogs all media, download poster and art if available on the Internet automatically. Google TV comes with media player but I like Plex and Avia players from play store.

Yes Harriet. As long as you have a television with USB ports you can do so. I watch movies I Watch movies in this way all the time on my Samsung tv. It is very convenient. Plug in the External drive and when it appears choose the video folder and your movies and shows will appear. Choose one, press enter on TV remote and you are go to go. Cheers

Remove the sd card and use a mobile phone (an android?) to read the card and play back the video?
