Will it play videos from the SD card with no other devices connected? I'm looking to use this as a cheap way to display a fire effect on the wall.

I could not get the device to read from an SD card. It would continuously tell me the files were the incorrect format. I tried multiple formats to no avail.

The manual says it only supports playback of pictures from USB devices, though it lists the supported file types as JPG, DIVX, and MP3. I have never tried playing anything from a USB drive on this device, and don't know if firmware updates might have changed what is described in the manual.

I have been able to play .mov, .avi, .mkv .jpg and mp3 files.So far I haven't found any video files that it won't play.It has played on the TV and any computer connected to my network.

It won't play ANY video unless to purchase and install the parking brake by-pass adapter or you can build one out of a relay, switch and a little wiring. That's only if you want to watch video while not in park and the parking brake set. There are a lot of youtube videos on it, that's how I figured it out.

Looks to me like there is no way to have the files play from the SD card by default. This is a major flaw, one of many.

I believe the app has to be coded to port the signal to an external monitor. You should be able to use most video player apps.

You can playback directly from the device. I have uploaded through USB and off the SD Card.

My Coby TF-DVD7377 reads and plays USB flash sticks with no problem. The ones I'm using are an 8-gig Lexar (for video) and a 4-gig Dane-Elec (for MP3 music). I do not currently own one of the newer USB-powered external hard drives, so I cannot comment on that. However, this Coby player is able to read and play files from my five-year-old Western Digital 80-gig hard drive (the WD drive is powered by an AC adapter).

I don't think so Christian. I think it can only display photos and play music via the USB port -- not videos. Also, I can't get it to display my photo's anyhow, so I can't even judge if that feature is good or not.

It requires very precise formatting. Mine all came up as "not supported" until I downloaded the file converter free plug in and followed their tutorial http://content.miccastore.com/sites/default/files/Micca%20Standard%20Video%20Recode%20Tutorial.pdfOnce you do that (and it is easy) the video should play on the device

I don't know, I only have pictures on my unit. But I would figure if it keeps running through the pictures, it would do the same with a video.

Dear Esteban, There is no TV in this unit. So I will say it wont work. However you could put video or watch dvd on this unit. Putting videos I mean by storing them onto the SD card. just like you would do with songs. kelvin

You can play videos (plays MP4 and AVI only), but only from a card or USB stick attached directly to the frame. No video over the cloud.

Ok, i think the right answer is: the device does not charge while playing videos if connected to usb port (it simply mantain charge if connected to the right charger). It is reccommended a 1500/2000 A usb charger for best results.

It works fine.I just hooked up a USB hard drive to my Acer Chromebook and it can navigate all the files and folders.I played an MP4 video file and an MP3 video file which both opened in the Media Player app.I've read it will play anything that Flash / Chrome will play.I don't think it will play offline avi's but I'm not sure.

It works without any computer connection. It records straight from your video source to a SD memory card.

Disk playback works just fine without an Internet connection. I use mine that way most of the time, but the streaming video features that this player also offers, such as Netflix, will require an Internet connection. The disk player detects, through its HDMI connection, if the TV set has been turned off and it will turn itself off. It will also eventually turn itself off if it is not being used, but mine has never turned itself off while I was watching a DVD movie.
