[@megabaneen8057]

Thanks - also thanks for letting us viewers know what formats the tv reads excellent tips as well

[@TrionityIr]

Step 3 is what I really needed. Access the Media on the Apps page. Thanks!!

[@holistics.made.simple]

Thank you for your video. It finally worked after buying a new USB key. Apparently if it’s too old it won’t work 😅

[@brianchege834]

[@larryb6886]

can I use an external DVD drive and plug it into the USB slot?

[@anthonynery7492]

Thanks for this. However any info on removing the USB drive from the Hisense Vidaa smart TV?

[@johnmathew9994]

I have the very same problem on my Hicense vidaa TV

[@jdecamp100]

My PC only gives options for formatting my USB drive to either exFAT or NTFS. Will exFAT formatting work with my Hisense 55U6K TV?

[@radk0gajdos]

exFAT nope, but NTFS will work 😀😀

[@saniadam7022]

Very useful. Thanks 😊

[@abeerjamal6422]

Thank you

[@ultimatexero]

If you have a USB drive over 32GB, you can't format to FAT32

[@Phillip-y6d]

NTSF or HFS dude

[@linuxmedia1003]

I use Hisense A4G how can I because the flash drive is not showing on my TV.

[@kitarororo9418]

Same problem...how to show that pendrive

[@onyinyechiossai1128]

I think we bought fake 😂😂😂, I have been trying mine but no show

[@perjian1697]

It only reads 32gb or smaller.

[@rayinfire]

@@kitarororo9418 solution for that is, you need to format the pen-drive in tv then it works.

Hola mi televisor es el hisense A6k ... Debo hacer igual estos pasos en este es diferente que app debo descargar????

[@LandryTsombengZetembek]

Hi I don’t know why, but when I connect my USB key to play movies (Format AVI, MP4…) installed on it, it always displays “Format Not Support”. What can I do to resolve it?

[@ivan848984]

Do you have Vidaa OS on your TV? I have same issue, sometimes it works when uplugging the TV from the outlet and replugging after 2-3 minutes. However after some time it happens again. Did you try to format your USB with FAT32 or NTFS?

[@Stojicc1989]

Happens to me on HISENSE 43A6K too, still don't know how to fix it... (jesi sa balkana, jesi nasao fix?)

[@ivan848984]

@@Stojicc1989 No, I guess the OS is just crap. For my TV it says on the website it should play all sorts of video formats (as well as for yours, just googled it), but it either says “format not supported” or plays for a while and then stops. Regardless if I have USB formatted as NTFS or FAT32… I guess we should all write complaints both to Hisense and Vidaa to fix this, since their hardware (apparently) supports all video encoders. (jesam, ali napisao sam na engleskom da i drugi mogu da razumeju :))

[@Stojicc1989]

@@ivan848984 I totally agree with you, we should all write complains, I just downloaded new episodes that is H.264(AVC) and it properly works for now.. Im watching episodes for 1 day straight and it still didn’t say it’s incompatible or not supported, however if I had an H.265 video on my USB it wouldn’t play anything and it says “format not supported” for everything.. (sorry if I spelled something wrong and for my bad english) Skontao sam po imenu da si nas pa reko da vidim sta ti mislis o tome jer mi je bukvalno lik u tehnomaniji rekao da je tv brutalan i da je isti kao i samsungovi televizori ali eto zajebao me je…

Nope. Still no flash drive detected.

I tried to get my usb plugin to work for a job I was doing. Need the pictures on my usb to show on TV. It wouldn't work on the new Hisense TV's when I clicked on media. I could see my beach pics, however, they wouldn't pop up. It said file not supported. My usb usually work on TV's and I checked the format. It is correctly formatted.

This is a straight up useless. To anyone who somehow doesn'n know, Formatting erases whatever you have on the drive, so copy it somewhere else first. But this tutorial just doesn't fix shit either way.

Hisense TV's are wank just to put that out there get a samsung. Plug and play almost any hard drive
