No you can't, but you can plug a roku into the HDMI and plug the USB drive into it and watch it that way

Yes you can. Any attached USB device shows up as a folder named according to the name of the thumb drive or external HDD you plug in. You can simply double click to open and do whatever you desire to. Thanks.

Don't think that's possible. Pretty sure you need the USB port - plugged directly into my DVD player's USB port.

Yes you can, you would need to have the hard drive connected through your computer.

You can use it as any USB flash drive with capacity limited to what you have as card attached to it. I use it for movie library during travel time and my personal portfolio library...Consider it as your wireless hard drive on the go!

It will only play from a USB drive type device but not a USB hard drive. Would not recommend it for watching movies.

No you can't, must be external HD using the USB port. The quality is poor, the software is poor, I bought one and try to update the software and after that the HD player is not working anymore, do not buy it try another one.

I am sorry, I've never done that...in fact..I didn't even know it had a USB lol I bought it cause I had accidentally purchased some dvds from the wrong region, still my primary dvd player though, GREAT picture quality with the HDMI up conversion...

Yes, I just checked it out with my portable 1 TB hard drive. It will automatically open up to a screen asking if you if you are going to view pictures, play music, or play movies. Then it will take you to the next menu just like a computer if you use folders. Hope this helps.

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

I have never tried this. However, I have read other reviews on this DVD player that stated that downloaded DVD movies to the USB drive can be played.

You could try that out (as I haven't). But I would use one of the computer's USB connectors to access the docked hard drive.

1) You must use an external DVD drive. There are many on the market including some portable USB-powered ones. 2) Yes. I hope this helps you in making your decision.

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.

I have never tried to play movies/videos flash drive via usb port; so, I don't know if it can. I recommend looking at Samsung's website for the television specs & allowable inputs.
