Does this actually play MP4 formats? MANY claim to, however none so far actually do. Thank you.

I'm not sure. I never tried it. I got this as a gift for my mom who only uses it as a portable tv.

I'm not sure but you can try it. I just download my music form youtube and amazon mp3's and it also plays all mp4s,mp5 so on.

My WMA files do not play on this device, it actually freezes it. I believe it only plays MP3 format.

I haven't tried that yet, but will ask my husband to do it tonight if he has a wall adaptor and then let you know. It won't play MP4's though, only MP3.

Did you ever find out if it would play PAL format DVDs? I wonder it as well, i have one and i want to buy something on PAL format but i am afraid that once i buy it the player will not play them. Anyone know?

I have Windows 7, and all of the movies and videos I've downloaded to the computer are MP4 format. They play just fine. Hope this helps.

I have not been able to view any a AVCHD formatted videos. I have read this is for burning directly to DVD but I have not used this feature. The MP4 works fine for me so that's what I use.

Honestly, I've not been able to get it to play any of the video formats -- and I've tried them all. Effectively, I pretty much use it just for music.

it only plays a certain format video. You can look up on youtube someone teaching this.

I had the same exact issue. Everything else with this player has worked flawlessly for me so far. I called Icom's customer service number regarding this. The woman who answered (operator/receptionist) and the man she put me through to (tech guy) were both impatient. They spoke very quickly and sounded frustrated, like they had better things to do. Or as if they thought I was mentally challenged; or speaking in a foreign language. I thought they were a little rude. Anyway, I mentioned as quickly as possible that the USB played Mp3's perfectly fine, but when I tried playing video Mp4 clips, video would show up but no audio. I tried every audio setting imaginable, but still no luck. The tech guy looked into it and after a brief moment came back and said that the mp4 playback doesn't include/allow audio. I told him I thought that was strange and thanked him for his time. So supposedly we cannot get audio with mp4 videos through the USB on this particular player. I tried Jodi Waxman's (other poster who left comment on OP's question) vague advice and came up with nothing. I looked over the manual several times and tried all the audio settings (on the player itself as well as my receiver)... nothing. If someone that reads this had the same issue and can say they get audio with their mp4 video files, I would love to know what they did to get it to work.

So glad you asked! No, it does not play Mp 3. I found out when received, but for me it was ok.

I downloaded it and I could not get it to play either. I have a Samsung UHD TV and I also tried putting the clip on the 4K movie disc pack that I received with the TV. It also would not play on that hard disk through the USB port. However, it will play on my computer. I do have another Youtube mp4 clip that plays through the disk pack in 4k. I moved that clip to the KdLinks and it came back as unsupported format also. So, I agree that the KdLinks will not play 4k video without some kind of an upgrade.

While i have not tried to play AVI or MP4 files through the USB, i don't think the TV will act a media player - the user's manual indicates traditional image and music files are supported, no mention of video files being suppported for playback.

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.

It plays XVid just fine...DivX Ultra rocks, I've only had a couple files not run correctly...

The MP4 video format is not recognized by the DVD. I have played Mp3 audio files from the flash drive as well as videos in DivX and VOB format. Be aware that when you are checking the directories in the flash drive, you need to press the "TITLE" button on the remote to switch between audio, photo or video files, otherwise the files are not visible in the directory as you are trying to play them.

All I can say is that I have been able to play .mp4 720p files without any problem. I don't know what other formats will work.
