Does this player play AVI, MP4, and MKV files through the USB port?

I haven't used this feature much, but it has played an MKV file via a thumb drive on the USB port. I don't remember which audio/video codecs that MKV used. The Samsung page on it says that it plays "MPEG-2, MPEG-4, JPEG, DivX HD, AVCHD, MKV, WMV" formats. http://www.samsung.com/us/video/blu-ray-dvd/BD-F5100/ZA-specs Hope that helps, -Dan

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

I'm not totally sure since I only purchased it to watch movies. However it does say that you can play music,movies,and view pictures downloaded onto USB and SD cards. Hope this was helpful.

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

Hello. This unit will play .AVI video on the front LCD from either a DVD, USB flashdrive, or an SD card.

I have only been able to play AVI and MP4 formats. I wish it played Matroska video files. Using a converter like AVS video converter can convert anything!

YES you can, It has played mp4, xvid .avi, x264 .mkv files so far for me. It has a code in it to register for protected dvix too. It is awesome, plays movies, music and pictures directly from USB thumb drive. Not sure yet what file types or codecs it won't play but it has played stuff my pc wouldn't play without a codec pack installed first.

It is called an MP4 player,but I never could get it to play MP4 files. In fact I had so many issues with this device that it went into the trash. I hope you have better luck.

it only plays Windows media player files and avi, most of my downloads like Mp4 don't play on it but play with VLC on my computer.

I can play video and music directly using the HDMI connection to the TV. I can't say about any specific format. The MKV files I used run just fine.

This player is very basic if you connected a usb external drive it will play normal MPEG movies but will not copy to disk you need another model player for that

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.

It works fine.I just hooked up a USB hard drive to my Acer Chromebook and it can navigate all the files and folders.I played an MP4 video file and an MP3 video file which both opened in the Media Player app.I've read it will play anything that Flash / Chrome will play.I don't think it will play offline avi's but I'm not sure.

Yes the player will play MP3, it will play AVI depending on which codec is used. I have used the player to play AVI using the Divx codec.
