The problem is that it is a piece of Junk. Very poorly designed and constructed. Amazon should pull this from their product list. I would spend more than I paid for it to try to replace it. Do just through it in the junk box.

I have tried to ...other have stated they can but this sucker for some reason only goes wireless for me. I personally don't think it really has the high speed ports for it ...which sucks as it can be quite slow transferring large chunks of data compared to the older usb ports. That being said I find it's greatest function is allowing everyone in my house to access my movies wirelessly to watch. But be careful not much security once a person has access to it. They have access everything on it. So in short no.... not that i have seen. But for the price it's one of the best out there.

It would depend on a number of factors. e.g. the format of the movie file, blue ray, mp4, oog, etc. It would also depend on the particular app. Does it support the files format? Or does it allow you to read from an external hard drive? I've plugged in a thumb drive into the unit being sold, and have been able to read/move files to and from the tablet. I've also been able to view some videos from the thumb drive. But I cannot say it would work for you for sure. It did for me.

I think it should be a direct USB connection because it won't understand multiple external USB HHD or flash drives as multiple storages. It only works with a single storage device and it is really slow over network connections anyways. I tried 8GB flash drive and successfully set it up and used my PS3 to view its media/video files but if I want to fast-forward, it will fail sometimes. Also, the wireless connection will just get lost.

Sounds like a USB 2.0 speed. I get that same score on my USB 2.0 port on my Dell Monitor. When I use my Sony All in One USB 3.0 I get very fast speeds that copy 4 HD movies to a 32gb drive in about 4 minutes. It used to take 70 minutes.

Mighty close--it works well but the cables are short. You will also need to download the latest version of the software. I have had no problems at all--just can't find the time to transfer my many records. Hope this helps.

Mine didn't work either. As a last resort, I thought I'd just just use it as a standard 8gb storage card. No luck. Computer shows it has only 93kb of storage space - not 8gb. Tried reformatting - no change. Just a $35 piece of garbage. My suggestion - throw it in the trash where it belongs.

There only certain formats that work when I use my USB harddraive to play movies. Try converting to from MP4 to AVI.

Hi, sorry to hear about that. I used mine just to copy a HDD once and it worked fine, I haven't used after that.

Sorry, I purchased the product thinking I could use it as a USB 2.0 cable adaptor, since the literature says it is backwards compatible, but the input is a USB 3.0 jack, so I have to get an adaptor for the cable I need to use. It is still in its packaging. My use will be very specific if I get it working and I doubt I will be using it for hdcp content. Hopefully Amazon will read this answer and ask someone else.

I tried using it to transfer files to and from a 4 gig USB thumb drive (memory stick) and kept getting an error. Something on the order of not enough power.

Just wanted to put my two cents in too! I just received mine last night - I have a 3 TB hard drive connected to it - I got it because not all tvs (or game systems) play all the different movie formats - this thing plays them all - I am VERY IMPRESSED, and based on the fact of seeing two USB ports I'm positive I can hook up another hard drive (the cartoon one for the kids). There wasn't any lag works perfect. If they ever add more options to the home menu that would be a bonus!

I have connected my Sony and Samsung DVDs to this as DLNA. I have found issues with both devices, but they seem to be on the device side, not the drive side. For example, the samsung Bluray will not pay things that the Sony does, and vice versa. It's quite annoying.

My similar drive (5TB) is also equipped for USB 3, but it works great on my 2.0 ports. I assume it could transfer faster on 3.0, but there's no incompatibility.

I've discovered that this player can play the MicroSD cards (yes, the itty-bitty ones) using an SD adapter. I purchased three 4-gig Micro SD cards at Target (Dane-Elec, $10 each). Using the supplied SD adapters in the card slot, the TF-DVD7377 read two of them OK (yes, I did remember to put video and audio files on them), but one did not (the LCD screen message read "No Playable File"). However, I took the one that didn't read and stuck it in a USB card reader and the Coby player was able to access it. I'm thinking it may have been an issue with the SD adapter card in that case (the tiny USB adapters that came with the MicroSD cards are utterly worthless).

In the manual from page 5-8 gives you instructions on how to get to the different options. Choose your source, USB, SD or A/V then select your media. I am unable to power my device on to better tell you. I tried using it like a projector connected to my laptop which was why I purchased it, but never got it to work that way and didn't play with it long enough to figure it out. Sorry. It should, since it works when connected to phones unless it is certain devices only.

I tried with my external drive and could not get it to read. Now, it may have been the cable acting up (the quality out of the box was poor), or it may be that the drive is too large to be recognized. As I recall, you are limited to 32GB on the mini-SD card, so the same limit may apply to this as well.
