Is it compatible with chromecast? And what can i do with USB port? I mean is it able to play video, picture and MP3 from USB drive?

Considering a chromecast is just an HDMI input device, of course it will work. Mine works just fine. As for the USB port, I power my chromecast with it.

I have used Netflix with this device. There is a USB connecting ability for this device but my hunch is that it may be picky about the size of drive you use. Haven't tried to connect via usb to see if it can handle self powered devices or USB thumb drives only.

Correction to my previous answer- my Chromecast is HDMI, not USB so no, this would fit

I can't answer the first question since I don't have the Chromecast gadget, but, according to the adds, it should work if your tv has the hdmi input. And yes you can watch movies from a tbumb drive. Acer a200 performs well. Good luck. Bob H

The USB and the SD card drive is for pictures and music only. You cannot play your mp4 or any other video format on the system. I have to return mine back because it won't play any other video format.

It does have a USB port for playing media from a USB drive, but both units died before I got to try it.

Yes it will play videos from USB. Not sure of the formats, but I think it plays the standards.

I cannot specifically say that a "USB Player" will be recognized. I plugged in a thumb drive and it worked. I have also plugged in an external hard drive through a "Blac X" (USB) and it works flawlessly. I assume that any standard USB device will be recognized and therefore should work. I read the first comment about lousy product and service. That has not been my experience. I emailed a question about using thumbnail displays and received a prompt reply the following day that addressed, and answered, my specific question - it was not a generic automated response.

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.

Sure, if your USB stick has ChromeCast, PPTV (网络电视) or another application that offers IPTV services.

Chromecast is the only way I can think of. That will only work for video though.

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!

The usb slot is only for connecting usb flash drives to the unit. If the USB flash drive has media that can be read; i.e., a standard dvd structure, mpeg4s, mp3s, cds, or jpegs then the unit will play the media. Here is a link to the user's manual for more information: http://s3.amazonaws.com/szmanuals/11333ba7d45d5f0d5256a1e945fa457b

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 don't know - I have not attempted that yet. I mostly use it as a bridge since the composite inputs blew out on my 65 inch TV. But when I tried Chromecast with it, I was unable to get it working, so I am glad that you did. Any advice for me on how you got Chromecast to work and what are your best uses for it?

I use this on my chromebox connected to my television. The usb dongle loaded and worked completely. I presume it would work generally with android although there may be some unique situations as I don't think Android is designed for using a Mouse and on screen pointer. You may be better off getting something with separate keyboard and mouse.

Yes, it will work with a Chromecast. I also have an AppleTV and a Sony BluRay player connected without issue.
