Has Anyone Tried the SD Card or USB Feature? Itunes & Amazon sell movies & television shows for download but I don't know if unit will play them. Anyone know?

I tried the USB with videos I downloaded from Youtube,I feel it would work fine with Itunes ones,and if not,they can always be converted to a different format.

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.

Mine does not have that option. I can see where there's lines the size of USB and SD ports but they aren't really openings.

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

You can get the netflix app from amazon app store and it will work but the videos and the sound are not in sync. It's very jerky. I'm not sure if there is a way to make it work better or not.

http://www.makayama.com/dvdtoipod.html Try using this software, and convert the movie in to the format which is compatable with the iTunes. By the way, I have not used it, just since I came across this I am giving you the extention Good luck

Hi there, almost all kind of videos I've been played on it, mp4, avi, mpg, mkv, flv with no problem. I've used dlna to share the videos from mac and pc. I hope this will help.

I just got my itouch for Christmas. I have had no trouble syncing photos and mucsic, but am having trouble with video and tv shows. I have downloaded tv shows from itunes and can get them to play on my laptop, but they do not seem to be syncing to my itouch. It is not a matter of space...still have over 14GB. I assume tv shows would fall under the video tab...but they dont seem to be. What am I missing?? MP

I'm pretty sure it's related to something Amazon did. I've tried watching Amazon Instant Video on a couple computers in the past week and when I went to play the video, they both said, "Updating player..." I hope it isn't broken for good; I use Amazon Video more on my TouchPad than on any other device.

I too am interested in an Amazon instant video app for the BD-C5500. AMAZON, PLEASE DO IT!

Thank you for responding, Mark! I just downloaded SD Copy, but now I'm not sure what to do with it or how to use it. Any assistance is appreciated!JacquelineJacqueline

I was curious about the same thing? Have you been able to find out yet? Also? Although this may sound like a stupid question, are you able to download these movies or music then take them with you in the car for example and let the kids in the back seat be able to watch them on their kindles?

I have tried to play all types of vides formats through my LG TVs and dvd player usb ports but they will cannot recognise any files on this drive. What am I doing wrong here? I have formatted the device, there is no software installed on it. Playback works fine on my laptop and galaxy tab. :-(

how do you move files to the card? I have audiobooks on my player and I can not figure out how to move them to the SD card. Can anyone help?

I just put in a DVD of .mpg and .avi files and it played them fine. No menu on the DVD, just files. It brought up a list of the files and you can select which on you wouldl like to play. Good feature.

Netflix, Xfinity, amazon prime all work fine for me. Probably the other people have network issues and not the devices fault. I also play tons of different video types using my local network. (using Es File Explorer)

Hi Cosmo - did you have any luck with Sony? When I called about 2 months ago there was no solution for the problem, which I thought was insane. There is a work-around that I discovered, and that is saving videos in a playlist which are browsable on the Sony player, so videos I want to watch on my TV I put in a playlist, but this gets annoying after awhile. If you had any luck getting this fixed please let us know!

I'm having the same issue. I have an Ipod 80GB classic. I tried to use it, and couldn't get it to work after following the directions. The audio plays, but not the video. I called Philips support and was told that Apple was blocking the video on the Classic. I called Apple and was told there was no issue of which they were aware, but I should try an Apple retail store. In short, everyone wanted to pass the buck. It's a shame because the unit is very nice, but if I can't use the Ipod feature with the Classic, it's not very practical.

Good question, I was looking for that question and saw yours. I have a 500GB that I assume is no problem. I have read it plays some AVI files and not others, depending on codec.
