Why does it say "unsupported file" when playing movie on usb?
The DVD player only supports certain video formats. Even if all your files say ".avi" or ".mpg" there are different versions (flavors) of these formats which your DVD player may...or may not...support. Your DVD player's manual will list the formats that it supports. If you have a file that is in a format the DVD player does not recognize it is possible to use a file conversion program to change the format. CNET's Download.com has a lot of useful utility programs that are free, or free-to-try that may work for you.
Why does my LG TV not play all the movies from USB?
The answer by Konstantinos is absolutely correct, but to help you, usually most TVs support .avi and .mp4 type files so prefer to download those for better compatibility, there are some videos titled as PS3 compatible which means they’re mp4 and the codec used makes it playable almost anywhere, most newer TVs from 2016 and later have support for x264. Avoid HEVC, x265 since they are newer and not supported by most cheaper TVs under 1200 USD.
Can i play video on my emerson tv via usb?
Why do people just look at a USB port and assume things. Read your manual first. I looked up your TV and apparently Emerson's are actually FUNAI brand since clicking on the FAQ link took me to a FUNAI web site. This is what is posted there: Question: I can't play movies through my flash drive, what is wrong? Answer: Our TVs will only play Motion JPEG files with an ".avi" extension. An extension ".mov" is not supported. *Note* During Motion JPEG playback, "Pause", "Forward", and "Reverse" are not available on these units.
Westinghouse LED TV usb video file type?
You have some problems here. First - most televisions do NOT support USB hard drives. They work with USB flash drives only. Second - Playing computer files is a new "add on" feature to televisions and in general they do a limited selection of file types - and then the video inside must be close to 480, 720, 1080. Your computer can handle hundreds of different resolutions but "Televisions are not computers". It does not have the power to do the things your computer can do. Third - It's a Westinghouse. If you cannot find a manual on line - chances are you cannot find firmware updates to improve it's video file capability. You would be better off getting a small box called a "Media Server". Western Digital, Roku, Asus, etc., all make variations that will work much better to play computer files. Just hook up to your HDTV with an HDMI cable and it tends to work.
How to play my HD (.mkv extension) movie on my Sony BRAVIA Full HD tv Through USB port?
You need a TV that supports H.264 decoding. Many TVs are starting to come out with USB ports that read digital video files, but they all have different format support. If it's a DivX certified TV, that will play .divx/.avi files, so you'd have to convert the MKVs. Devices with the DivX Plus HD logo will play H.264 MKV files. If your TV supports H.264 and MP4, you'll have to use a Mux tool to change the video from .mkv to .mp4 (ideally without re-encoding the H.264 video). Try AVIdemux, and choose the format as MP4: http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?pa... Hope this info helps...
Why does my LG TV only play half of any video file from USB?
Thanks for A2A. Please define “half”. Do you mean half a picture (left, right, top, bottom) or does it only play the first 50% regardless of the length of file?Do you know for sure that the file is intact by playing it through a PC?Just in case, have you tried copying a single file to a different (32GB or less) USB device?After verifying, have you spoken to anyone from LG about this issue?Have you approached the vendor about this issue? If the store has the same model in stock, you should be able to test to see if the problem is unique to your TV (warranty replacement) or if it’s a production issue in which case you could get the next model up as a Public Relations courtesy.My Kogan TV (built by Samsung) will only play its own PVR files. If I connect a standard NTFS drive to the USB, I can see all the other file types, AVI, MPG, MP4, FLV etc., but it refuses to play them, although it will display JPG photos. Many customers in Australia have complained about this, but I’m guessing that Kogan has lowered the price of the TV by skipping on the licence fees for other file formats. It doesn’t bother me as I have a “media dedicated” PC connected and a separate PVR machine.

i had a simular problem trying to get video's to play through USB on a TV. i had to convert every video to AVI and their Audio to MP3 during conversion.
