I would like to use a usb with a series of jpegs for marketing in a waiting area. Will the jpegs loop or will I need a media player?

Hey B. Nelson! I wish I could help you as I have no idea. We have the TV in a bedroom and don't use it for anything except watching cable. Sorry!

3 usb 2.0 ports. I have used an external usb dvd drive but not tried playing media. External hard drive works too, but have not tried media play on that either.

No. I've found the USB on this is totally useless. Can't even play from a flash drive.

The key question is whether the device will play a single track continuously, i.e. in a loop. If so, I think we can fool it by using a power only USB cable connected to a charger, not a PC. Can someone answer the first part of my comment?

Yes, there is a USB port on the unit, however I was not able to get the unit to recognize the flash drive was present. I ended up using a memory card. I had also hoped to have two or three slideshows on the flash drive and be able to show whichever one I selected. No go! It seems to only see one slideshow and play only that one. Directly connecting a USB cable from my computer to the Digital Frame didn't work either. I have a lot of experience in such things, but I felt like an idiot trying different things to accomplish a simple task.

Yes, up to 999 mp3's on each side of the machine located directly on top. USB 1-LEFT USB 2-RIGHT. your flash will work great.

Yes, you will need to buy a SD card and you can also use a USB flash drive.

All mp3 files loaded in the USB drive play in a loop continuously, If you want a welcome greeting to play FIRST you need a different model such as SX8800-2LP-AAG or SX8800-4LP-AAG or the new iGreet-4LPro where calls are 1st answered with a greeting mp3 file then kept On Hold with a Music & messages mp3 file.

I don't think this is going to give you a complete yes. I did not hang onto the operating instructions for the additional features because my ROKU box does every thing I need. There is on top of the dvd player a sticker with an icon next to the built in apps. The sticker shows a section for usb that supports SD, music and photo/video. I am sorry but I have never tried the usb port.

This uses a SD card. I believe it can also use a USB thumb drive.Mine is defective, so I haven't used it much. Initially it would generate a motorboat noise over the audio within a few seconds of use, now it plays up to about 15 minutes before the distortion starts.

- I bought one but that item has some problem with the USB port: it cannot play video/image files directly from an USB drive. I've returned that item.- The SD port workd well, and I can project jpeg pictures with good quality, depends on the original image quality.

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

I am not a tech guy, but I have been unable to play 4k content using USB. Toshiba said that the USB drive can only recognize flash (Fat32) and that only holds up to 4 gigs. A 30 second clip is about 4 gigs. I believe you can loop it though.

I haven't used the USB but I have used a 16GB SD card with this. I usually just connect my Sandisk Sansa Clip Zip+ MP3 player to this and use it this way.

In USB mode, it is capable of loop. Even if you turn it off, the audio file will continue to play as soon as you switched it on.

I cannot specifically say that a "USB Player" will be recognized. I plugged in a thumb drive and it worked. I have also plugged in an external hard drive through a "Blac X" (USB) and it works flawlessly. I assume that any standard USB device will be recognized and therefore should work. I read the first comment about lousy product and service. That has not been my experience. I emailed a question about using thumbnail displays and received a prompt reply the following day that addressed, and answered, my specific question - it was not a generic automated response.

I tried to play a USB with mine. I used a 8gb flash drive and tried to play a 1.6gb mp4 file and a 756mb mp4 file. Each time it said the file type was unsupported.
