Hi! No, mp4 files do not play nor a plethora of other common files through USB or SD card. I have had a heck of a time with customer service, but I can tell you after a month going back and forth I could **ONLY**successfully play video converted as such: Xvid (format AVI, video codec Xvid, Audio Codec MP3) resolution 640*480. From their technical help emails: File Codecs supported: . MP3 . XviD . MPEG1 & 2 . JPEG NOT Supported . WMA . WMV (Windows Media Video) 9.1 . VCD 1.1 . VCD 2.0 . SVCD . DiVX ************************************************************** SD card Formats supported - Normal SD, 50X SD SD card maximum size in GB -- 4G USB - 2.0 - 4G max My question: why it can't read beyond a 4G USB (or SD card) drive? Their Answer: There are limitations of the product due to the size of the internal processor. Increasing the size of the internal processor and adding additional file formats would directly impact the price point of the product.

The USB port only plays music (I believe in mp3 format) and pictures (in jpg). Movies don't work, unfortunately.

Yes. I have a lot of videos on an external drive connected with USB to this player, plays beautifully without any problems or hiccups. It supports almost all video formats and has no problems with 1920 HD videos. I have played mkv, mp4, avi, divx hd, xvid. All work great, it even supports multiple subtitle tracks on mp4 and mkv. Any USB stick or drive will work, I have a 500 GB drive which gets power through the USB port even. If you turn off the player it will also remember where you left off on the videos (yes, the ones on your external drive/stick). Works like a charm!

its a usb port so I certain it should play media I've never tried due to the amount of other options but if I were to guess I'd say yes....otherwise look up online or contact their customer support.

This unit used to play my mp3's flawlessly. One day I attempted to play mp4 video from a flashdrive. It didnt play; and subsequently stopped playing mp3's permanently. Maybe a firmware update might resolve the problem.

It does have a USB port for playing media from a USB drive, but both units died before I got to try it.

No. The USB port will only show picture files (.JPG), no movie type files. Look at the Oppo BDP-103 or BDP-105

Yes it will play videos from USB. Not sure of the formats, but I think it plays the standards.

Simple answer: No. The unit does not have 1) hard disk reading software/hardware (those are complex and built into computer operating systems) nor, 2) a movie decoder built into it. It will play a few audio formats (MP3, AAC, M4A), however, from thumb drives, but it does NOT play ANY VIDEO from sources connected to its USB ports.

Rick: the device has a USB port (i just checked my unit), and if you search online for the model number, you'll see the marketing specs under the manual link. It says it supports MP4.... Check it out, and see what you think.

Hello Joey: Yes, there is a USB Port that you can connect a device to play video. I hope this information helps. If you have any questions or need additional information, please let me know. Thanks, KRM

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. :-)

Hi there. Unfortunately, no. The USB is for power. It has to plug to a power cube while the micro USB carries the image and sound to the HDMI port. Hope this helps.

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.

NO. As a matter of fact, the "advanced software" is so bad it won't allow you to even play mp4 files. at all

it only plays Windows media player files and avi, most of my downloads like Mp4 don't play on it but play with VLC on my computer.
