Supposedly "Connect Share" allows video playback through USB. Can anyone confirm what file types the TV is capable of playing? (AVI, MKV, MP4, etc.)

DJ, Page 9 of the owner's manual lists all of the available video and audio codec combinations. The download is a quick one here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201405/20140526105716962/[UE4003-ZA]BN68-04459A-02ENG-1014.pdf Thanks for your interest in Samsung televisions. --Mr. S

I've played avi and mkv by connecting my external hard drive to a usb port. They were played well but the subtitle integrated in my mkv files couldn't be read.

Yes you can play movies through the USB connection. In fact, you can connect a PC to the television and play them right from your PC.

That I don't know. I've only streamed from the internet. I believed it has the capability to hook it up to the TV and view things, but I'm not sure about that. If it can play music and open the USB, I don't see why it couldn't do that too.

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

Toshiba 40UX600U 40-Inch 1080p 120 Hz LED HDTV with Net TV (Black Gloss) I just received the set and I cannot use the usb or the SD card reader to play mp3 files or any movie files ONLY jpeg. What's up with that?

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. :-)

I've tried a few different video file formats, including some MP4, and it's played them fine from a USB thumb drive. Since the screen itself isn't HD, I haven't tried any HD files in there, but I can verify that up to DVD quality resolution it plays media files just fine.

Works very well for me. I have tried mkv, avi, and mp4 with no problems at all. Only issue I have is if it is a blu-ray "backup" it will not play that. Any other "backup" from standard dvd's plays perfectly. I have been very pleased with the quality of this device in all aspects other than the blu-ray backups. Hope this helps.

The Philips website info says it plays mp4s but nothing about USB connection. I have have never tried to do so.

you should be able to play the disk through whatever your default media player is, ive tried VLC and MCP-HC and both have worked, I honestly have never used or seen said included software, id suggest looking at the setup guide it comes with to see if it's being detected properly

I tried to play a USB with mine. I used a 8gb flash drive and tried to play a 1.6gb mp4 file and a 756mb mp4 file. Each time it said the file type was unsupported.

First, You would select usb using the input button same as you select the DVD feature. If you are trying to view pictures from a camera(make sure it's turned on) or flash drive, plug it in first, then select the usb through the input button. If you are trying to watch a downloaded movie on your usb drive this will not work. To watch movies from a flash drive, you would need something that has a usb input which processes video, and outputs that are compatible with your TV's A/V inputs. I have tried the usb inputs on many TV's and DVD players with no success. I have heard that certain videogame consoles work well showing videos from usb drives but that's a "$400.00 solution". Think of my usb input as a new place to charge my phone.

The only files this TV plays using the USB input are JPG/JPEG photo-picture file types. It will not recognize MP3,MP4,AVI,MKV,VOB, etc.

Hello picky, This Tv does support USB and jpeg files. I was unable to confirm this unit is capable of looping these files.

I got the same problem. After a few hours trying to find the dtv dmr driver on internet and not succeeding, I checked again Samsung PC Share Manager when I miraculously found the answer to my problem! I just had to allow the connection between laptop and TV! I am running Vista 32 bit and now I got it to work. No extra drivers needed. What I suggest you can do is: 1. Start Samsung PC Share Manager 2. Select some folders with mp3 you want to play from your TV and drag them to the share folder 3. CLICK ON 'SHARE' ON TOP OF THE WINDOW, THEN CLICK ON SET DEVICE POLICY AND THEN ACCEPT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN DEVICES... AND IT'S DONE!!! 4. TO MAKE SURE THAT I COULD SHARE FILES WITHIN MY HOME NETWORK I ALSO WENT TO CONTROL PANEL&gt;NETWORK AND INTERNET&gt;NETWORK AND SHARING, AND THEN I MADE SURE THAT THE MEDIA SHARING AND FILE SHARING WERE ON. At the beginning I just got some files from My music folder working, but restarting a couple of times TV and software I finally got the whole thing to work. I do hope this also works for you all! (I spent around 4 hours because of the lack of information that is out there) Best of luck!

Yes, you can play MKV video larger than 4GBs if the USB stick is formatted as NTFS. If the USB drive is formatted as FAT32, you have a 4GB limitation. If you burn to disc, then there seems to be about a 2GB limitation.It does play PAL if it is a region free disc. I tried to play a Region 2 disc and it didn't recognize it.
