Has Anyone Tried the SD Card or USB Feature? Itunes &amp; Amazon sell movies &amp; television shows for download but I don't know if unit will play them. Anyone know?

I tried the USB with videos I downloaded from Youtube,I feel it would work fine with Itunes ones,and if not,they can always be converted to a different format.

I agree. And I think I'll stick with the easy path of iTunes. It just bothers me that you can only buy movies on iTunes. I just want to rent them -- watch them a couple of times and delete. I hope they change that.

I haven't looked into trying to watch from flash drive, I download My movies to the iPad 2 using VLC Streamer, from My iMac, then plug in HDMI cable to watch on whatever TV I have nearby.

I'm a big fan of my iPod touch as well (in fact, I'm typing this on mine right now). To download movies or TV shows, I normally just use iTunes. It's not only easy, but it's also legal. Paying two dollars per episode is outrageous for some, but I don't mind because of the ease and convenience... Just my two cents :-)

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.

Hi, I have used this device to stream MP4 and M4V to my iPad, iPhone etc. in the interface on your computer you are able to play files from this device by streaming or just plugging it in by USB. I did have DRM issues when trying to play a video purchased outside of iTunes in another player other than iTunes, however. Those I could only get to play by transferring through the iTunes interface.

Thanks, Grumpy Jay! About 70% of my movie list is classic movies, so that's perfect! And I'm very interested in checking out the British line, too. Woohoo!I don't yet have an HD TV. Hopefully I'll get one this year, but it's on the back burner for now. I'm assuming the Roku HD Player will work even w/o HD TV, right? And I have to have wireless, I'm guessing, which I do.Thanks again, Everyone! I really appreciate all the input!CJ

I exchanged my device today in the store since i bricked it with the firmware upgrade.The new one shows blockbuster on the box and in the manual.Blockbuster, Netflix Pandora and Youtube all work great!

It only plays iTunes Plus music/music videos. It can't play the kind with drm. I'm going insane over it because iTunes is the only place to buy music videos.

There are apps which can play almost all formats on iPhone, iPad. Just make sure that these can also access network drives. Personally I use PlayerExtreme.

ITunes stores these as M4V files (movies) - how do you use the wifi to play them on your ipad? Can this alone let you stream movies or do you need another software to stream or do you have to convert out of the MPEG-4 Video File (.m4v) format to another to stream movies?I think some people are buying these to expand the otherwise fixed memory of an ipad so if you can't stream this is not going to work for us.

I hate mp4 format...I agree completely; that's the one thing that has kept me from buying any Apple device...I don't want everything in my audio library converted and not be able to play it on other systems. This is proprietary warfare and I'm not bowing down to Apple...

No, it doesn't work with the Amazon App...also doesn't work with Vudu anymore. It does work with iTunes. Can't speak for other apps...I don't use Hulu Plus or Netflix.

Since you don't seem to be getting an answer, I'd Google it. I think there may be some licensing issues with Plex. I don't use it myself, I transcode everything and put it in iTunes.

So far when I've attempted to find apps (such as Pandora, Amazon Prime, etc...,) LG pulls them up on their app store. It's not like through iOS or Droid market. I can't say for sure if the Plex app is available but I believe that there are numerous media apps available through LG's app store and I think I recall Plex being one of those apps. Please don't take that for fact though.

Hi Cosmo - did you have any luck with Sony? When I called about 2 months ago there was no solution for the problem, which I thought was insane. There is a work-around that I discovered, and that is saving videos in a playlist which are browsable on the Sony player, so videos I want to watch on my TV I put in a playlist, but this gets annoying after awhile. If you had any luck getting this fixed please let us know!
