Some viewers may not be aware that there is a device available that lets you play a video on a USB to a TV and it doesn’t matter what format the USB is.

I'd like to add that USB playback supports usually work with the current smart tv's but you should also check the codecs that the tv supports. It varies from brand to brand. Been using this trick with an external hard drive for a while now.

Is 256gb or larger gigabyte Flash Drive compatible to any Smart tv? My 256gb doesn't work or Can't be read by my Smart tv. I'm just wondering if the smart tv has limitation at flash drive Capacity
@KOMOS TECH Hi. I'm with samsung smart TV and trying to play blue ray movie from usb flash drive. Got my 128 GB flash drive with a 4K blue ray movie on it, but i don't know how to play it. Pls, help! Do I need an app on my TV to do it or something else?
I have Seagate portable hard drives, 2 sizes, 500gb and 1tb, the tv will play movies from the 500gb but not the 1tb, although some movies are duplicated on both hard drives, any idea why this is? Thanks
most tv reads ms dos fat32. also, ensure the video files formats are supported. I find some files need conversion first to work. Google for ZillaTube, it helps
@Rotate Earth Video uhhh... no this is not true. FAT32 has a 4gb limit PER FILE not for the entire drive. A FAT32 formatted drive can actually hold up to 2tb of data. Even w/ the 4gb limit per file there are ways around this like compression and by splitting larger files into parts. So unless you are dealing with RAW data files which a smart tv can't even recognize anyways you shouldn't have a problem fitting video/audio onto it as most are under 4gb.
Do the folders need to be named DCIM and 100MOVIES respectively? or can you name them whatever you want provided you named the video file as MVI_etc. etc.?
This was extra perfect for me. I have the exact same usb and a Mac running Mojave. Not that it matters, really. Just made it better somehow. Thanks for taking the time to enlighten all of us.
Thanks so much for this video! I was having a hard time and after watching this video and labeling all the folders and renaming the file name, it worked like a charm!
I've watched or tried to watch movies from a USB flash drive directly plugged into the USB port of the TV. The problem is not all video files are recognized and the system skips over to the next recognized file. Are you saying that if I made a folder titled DCMI and then a subfolder titled 100MEDIA the TV will recognize all media files? I have Windows, not a Mac.
Hi I was frustrated when my USB did not play on my new Sony 4K TV. Your video really gave excellent tips and it solved my issue. Thanks for sharing this video with us. All the best my friend
How can you get the videos to play in the order you want them to? Start with video 1 and play to video 8 with out stopping unless you pause it on Smart TV from your USB flash drive?
FWIW ... our non smart 32" Insignia LED TV (purchased 2017) does have a USB port, but the internal access is identified as "USB (photos)" when the USB key is plugged in. When I follow the steps in Komos' UA-cam video, I can only see the jpg photos (whether or not the folders and files are renamed as per the instructions) and none of the mp4 files .... what might work is if I install a firestick that maybe could then access the contents on the USB key and use a free app like VLC to browse the USB port and play the videos, but I don't have a firestick yet.
So I got a flash drive n uploaded cartoons from my laptop but I found out only few are playing other are canceled and at 00:00:00 I don't know why, I got another flash connected t my phone and moved all the cartoon I have on my phone to the flash but this time around it no one plays at all what could be the issue

Hi there! I had a few questions for you if you have some time. I want to the the animated show Star Wars: The Clone Wars (the entire series) onto a flash drive from my friends PC, so i can watch it on my TV. I am not sure how large the file would be for a entire show, but i was going to purchase a 1TB 3.0 (or higher) flash drive for this, i am guessing that is enough? I really don't know how big files are for a show, or just one movie for that matter. Is 1TB way too much for a series? Would 512mb be enough? Second, when you are watching a movie or a bunch of episodes from a series, does the flash drives usually overheat? I am very new to doing this. I'm looking at some 1TB Sandisc 3.2 flashdrives and they are around $125 usd, that seems reeeealy pricey!! Do you have any advice that you can give me to help me with all this? Thank you very much! Oh one more thing, what are you using to pause, play, forward, rewind? A remove control isn't like a console controller where you can use directional pads (like on a xbox controller etc).
Komoso Tech does it matter how the drive is formatted? I have a drive that would simply not work on the TV. I’ve changed the formatting over and over. Please help. Thanks

FAT32 does not allow for files larger than 4GB.
You may format the drive as ExFAT if you need larger files.
You can do File->Share->Master File and choose Computer, H264 as the codec and save wherever you like.
