Has anybody used a 1TB memory stick or more, to play their MP4 videos please? Also has anyone been brave enough to try a hard drive?
Just tried it out of curiosity and it works for MP4 video although some formats were unsupported. And MP3 audio
Using 1TB Samsung HDD on a USB3 lead but running at USB2 speeds as that's what the MG port is. I'm guessing a flash drive would use less power than a spinning HDD.View attachment 1525
Ok thanks, getting techy now, Did the hard drive have other files on it and more than one partition. Also what software are you using to rip your copyright pretected DVDs.I think HDD works fine,
Some formats of MP4 are not supported irrespective of the type of drive
Shame it doesn't play MKV HEVC as that's what most of my collection is
Format shifting is permitted under UK law for personal use but breaking any technological protection measures is questionable at best, illegal at worse case.Also what software are you using to rip your copyright pretected DVDs.
Just to note, a breach of copyright law in UK is where you copy a Copyright Protected DVD and give it to somebody else for their keeps.
Most of my collection I've converted to HEVC due to running out of space on the NAS. Left a few unconverted to play on the MG, mainly episodes of Brooklyn Nine Nine as they are perfect length for rapid charging.
That if lock down ends and the world become a normal place......
