Will it index the videos on the usb drive and show info (pictures of movies)?

No, i don't think so...mine doesn't.....it's a bit basic in that respect....just Alphabetises by file or folder name.

I think the.usb is only for backing up or downloading videos. It requires an internal hard drive

Yes you can. Even though I do advice to use a dedicated usb drive with the pictures connected to frame for viewing. The internal memory of the frame does not fit many pictures

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.

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.

I don't know, I only have pictures on my unit. But I would figure if it keeps running through the pictures, it would do the same with a video.

Yes, when you select the USB as an input, it activates and powers the USB port and any device connected to it, and you can browse the contents just like on a computer. The remote control has a section to forward, play and skip files etc.

Yes. It will play ripped ISO files and VOB files (in a folder), including DVD menu and all features.

No. It is an ultrabook. You will have to use an external USB dvd drive to play movies from your DVD/CD-ROM.

what I read in the manual states that you can have movies on a usb or sd card if you have movies on them and music the device will play audio then video. video also must be in mpeg1 or mpeg2 formats according the manual.

It can't index that much information. I stick to no more than a 128 gig usb sticks.

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!

No.. It only plays videos from DVD... USB will allow pics to be shown an screen captured.... Nice unit but limited

Yes, I just checked it out with my portable 1 TB hard drive. It will automatically open up to a screen asking if you if you are going to view pictures, play music, or play movies. Then it will take you to the next menu just like a computer if you use folders. Hope this helps.

It should be able to. The general purpose of this drive is to store music and video.

Yes it does. However, I have noticed some latency (almost like online buffering) when using it even with locally stored videos.
