Is there a native video player or is there one in the chrome web store? While traveling I would like to watch movies off a usb flash drive.

I formatted a thumb-drive as Linux EXT4 format and copied a 500MB Mpeg-4 video to the drive. I unmounted it from my Linux system and plugged the drive into my Chromebook 14-Q USB3 port (on the left edge). When I did that a "file browser" opened up and it showed the file listing of my video. When I double-clicked on the MP4 file the video played with audio. I was very pleasantly surprised. Depending on your storage media format and your video recording format, your mileage may vary. Good luck!

USB/SD card playback of mp3 and Jpeg files.That is directly from the description. It doesn't play back movies from the USB or card slot, only music (MP3) and picture (jpeg) files can be loaded from the card slot/USB port. There are much better options then this cheap player (3 month warranty) for just a little more money. Check out TView.I did try using a popular video converter (used MPEG4) to put a movie on a card just to see if it would work, it did not.

need a little more info. What did you use for a player? What were the Samsung settings you used to make the video? how big is the file? ..... Try VLC, A very good (and free) player that runs on PCs. .....Oh, one more question, what type of computer are you using, PC,Mac, Android chromebook....?

Flash Player is something that is downloaded from adobe like adobe pdf reader. It depends on what kind of browser you are using if you need it. If you use Internet Explorer you would download this as a add-on. Google Chrome for instance comes with Flashplayer. To answer your question directly, if it down not have Flash Player you can download it for free from Adobe. Personally I would not buy this machine. The last one I bought went bad within 15 days. I think this is from the same seller and he would not replace it. Bad company. IBM is a great computer but this seller is shady.

I tried to play a USB with mine. I used a 8gb flash drive and tried to play a 1.6gb mp4 file and a 756mb mp4 file. Each time it said the file type was unsupported.

none that i know of; this item seems only to allow games and videos/movies in MP4 and maybe wmv. also pictures but won't except emulators or any apps i tried to load. U can get free games from CoolRoms.com u might have to change some to bin (binary format) Item does only what is advertised(MAYBE!) buyer beware!

Sorry, it seems to be DVD disc only. I've tried movies on the SD card and USB flashdrive, but it shows "unsupported media" on the screen.

Yes! But, I wouldn't perform this task, due to the size of some movie files. Most of the time, I would drag the clip on to my desk top and play the media. Some times the stream of data coming from your flash drive, may be too slow. This will sometimes cause pauses, while watching your movie, to refresh the buffer.

I download movies on-line and convert them to mpeg. if necessary. I then put them on flash drive\thump drive and play them through my blu-ray player. Only thing I miss is closed captioning.

You need to use an external USB DVD player. It is a great computer. Boots almost instantly. Very fast and powerful.

I don't think this player can stream video. You'd need to have a DLNA player and I do not think this player is one. It has ether net port, but really it's just to connect to the net to get firmware updates, stream netflix and now Vudu (I read). I have this player, and I've tried to steam video. It cannot do that. I found no functions within the player's menu to do anything like that. (I'm connected now, the player to my Uverse router and my PC connected to that router). With no disk in the player, and no USB stick or SD mem card slot, the player only offers "Network" as what can be done with it. If choosing network, you'll only have the available services like netflix or youtube, accuweather..ect. I also tried to connect my USB external Hard drive but this player will not see it..

Of course you can play any AVI directly from an USB pen drive... works perfect!!!I only have a doubt, have anyone tried to play any AVI from a portable Hard disk (USB 2.0) ?

Yes. I have a lot of videos on an external drive connected with USB to this player, plays beautifully without any problems or hiccups. It supports almost all video formats and has no problems with 1920 HD videos. I have played mkv, mp4, avi, divx hd, xvid. All work great, it even supports multiple subtitle tracks on mp4 and mkv. Any USB stick or drive will work, I have a 500 GB drive which gets power through the USB port even. If you turn off the player it will also remember where you left off on the videos (yes, the ones on your external drive/stick). Works like a charm!

It does have flash and alot of sites use flash player but I did not try it to watch movies on. I was pretty disappointed with the display on it. Also the battery dies fast even though i turn anything off that drains the battery.I would suggest that you look into allwinner. I thought I found something better than the one I broke accidentally and was definitely wrong. At this price range I highy recommend allwinner products.
