Will this play MP4 movies from a USB thumb drive?

Sorry but it appears the answer is no to your question. This unit is really good for the price but the functions are pretty basic. Hope this helps

Rick: the device has a USB port (i just checked my unit), and if you search online for the model number, you'll see the marketing specs under the manual link. It says it supports MP4.... Check it out, and see what you think.

Good question Rick...although I am not tech savvy I will say that there is a port in the side that has a three prong symbol if that means anything to you...sorry I could not be any more help to you.

Seems to work pretty well... I have used both USB flash drives and USB HDD with various movie formats (AVI, MP4, H264, etc.)

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.

I have not used that drive, but I have used a Western Digital 3TB USB 3.0 drive with no problem at all. No problem playing any format video that I have come across with the player.

Yes. However, I am only beginning to become familiar with how it establishes a folder sequence which identifies what is playing. Read the instructions about the folder structure, otherwise thumb drives work just fine.

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

I've only tested the USB port on it once, so I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure you can only do a photo-slide show using a usb drive. Any video content has to come from an actual player of some sort (computer, DVD plater etc.). But like I said, I've only tried that once, so anyone else please correct me if I'm wrong :)

Yes it does. You might want to use SD/USB instead though, easier n larger space. Plays movie files too, mp4, avi, etc.

Depends on if the player can play content from the connected USB device. Do a simple test on any thumb drive you have. Load a file or two on it and plug it in.You can also check the player "Supported" file types. It should really specify if it can (or cannot) play USB content...This drive is generic, the effect would be the same on any USB storage device. If your Sony player can't play USB content it does not matter WHAT device you got, it is not going to play... Best of luck! Also mention what model player you have (or want to get) someone might know specific to that device (they are all different). I have a Sony player and could not tell you if it does (or does not) play from the USB connection (never tried) Depends on if the player can play content from the connected USB device.

So you can have an external drive? I don't see why not. There is a mini USB port on the player. It will play mp4's sequentially, the same with pics and music. It may have plug and play capabilities... TommyD

Yes Joshua, you can plug-in a USB flash drive into this Sony MEXN4000BT and will play audio files. It can recognize audio files under MP3 (.mp3), WMA (.wma) and WAV (.wav) format and the folders within it. -Ely

I just tried both avi and mp4 from a flash drive and both were detected but did not play. Bummer

Yes, it will play music files (mp3, wma, etc.) on a usb drive and it works with file folders on the drive. You can even use it to charge.

All I can say, B.R., is that ours is streaming beautifully via our home WiFi network so, I don't see why not. Via USB stick...it plays .mp4s perfectly. I haven't tried any of the other formats. The wife and I are very happy with it. :-)

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.

Simple answer: No. The unit does not have 1) hard disk reading software/hardware (those are complex and built into computer operating systems) nor, 2) a movie decoder built into it. It will play a few audio formats (MP3, AAC, M4A), however, from thumb drives, but it does NOT play ANY VIDEO from sources connected to its USB ports.

I honestly don't know the answer to that question. I've never tried playing an MP4 file on that player. I would assume it will since most do, but I've never tried so can't confirm it. So sorry I wasn't more help.
