Sure. And DivX too. It will also play either format in a loop so if you want to show something all the time, you know, like Richard Nixon resigning, you can.

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

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

Hello Joey: Yes, there is a USB Port that you can connect a device to play video. I hope this information helps. If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know. Thanks, KRM

Yes it will play mp4 and dvix bought one for my coworker and have yet to run across a file it won't play. I personally own a micca player with dual usb with two 2tb harddrives. The menu on the micca is alot cleaner and smooth. Plus I likethe remote better. But for price this is a ddecent unit. Does all that it should plus.

I haven't found a way to get SD or the USB to work for several formats of movies.

There only certain formats that work when I use my USB harddraive to play movies. Try converting to from MP4 to AVI.

The only files this TV plays using the USB input are JPG/JPEG photo-picture file types. It will not recognize MP3,MP4,AVI,MKV,VOB, etc.

I don't think this is going to give you a complete yes. I did not hang onto the operating instructions for the additional features because my ROKU box does every thing I need. There is on top of the dvd player a sticker with an icon next to the built in apps. The sticker shows a section for usb that supports SD, music and photo/video. I am sorry but I have never tried the usb port.

You can play movies on it, but it is hard to figure out how to do this. Let me explain. I have a USB with 127 movie files on it. I plugged it in to this IVIEW and selected USB as the source. I got the first avi file to play, but I could not figure out to access its subtitles even though the srt file name was displayed. In order to read the remaining 126 files I had to stop the film and then select the USB again. The IVIEW displayed the USB folders much faster than any other player I own. I somehow managed to access a video_ts folder and got that film to play. Again no subtitles could be accessed. When I went back to access some other film files I could not remember what buttons I pushed to view the previous film. There are no instructions from IVIEW on how to use the remote control buttons to access the various video folders. Most of the remote control buttons seem totally useless to me. I pressed every button and it kept saying "feature not available at this time" or some other negative statement. There are many options offered on the right had side of the screen display, but none of these make the film file play on the TV. One would think that selecting the folder and then pressing the PLAY button would work. No it does not. The player seems to have a good brain software with terrible operating instructions and useless remote control. This player does well with avi and other files that are burned on to discs. For my USB film files I always use my Western Digital streamer [the disc menu features work best on the streamer] or my Philips 5990/5992 dvp.

I have Windows 7, and all of the movies and videos I've downloaded to the computer are MP4 format. They play just fine. Hope this helps.

Yes if your player supports or has a usb port that allows you to play video off a flash drive.

Yes pretty much anything USB or SD will work. However I tried hooking up my external hard drive and it took so long to load I gave up. Although my HD is like 400gb so that's most likely why. But I've never had issues putting like 20 movies on a flash drive and playing them. Watch out for the file type tho, MKV files won't work

Does anyone know if you can play avi files (divx, xvid) from a USB thumb drive plugged into the front? The description just lists photos for the USB drive.

It is called an MP4 player,but I never could get it to play MP4 files. In fact I had so many issues with this device that it went into the trash. I hope you have better luck.

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.

Yes, as long as the hard drive doesn't need external power, in which case, you could still plug into cigarette lighter for added power. MP4 is not supported by the player, just avi and mpg. If you want to play Mp4 files, you must convert them.

I think it can if the files are renamed/formatted before playing. So I do not think it can read MP4 files as they are.
