Hi guys,
Theres any way to see my movies on my external HD or Pen drive using laptop dock, dock HD, through Entertainment Center?
I only can see the movies on internal memory, not external.
Anyway?
I believe the external hard drive has to be formatted to FAT32 and not NTFS.
So primeboss, I put on pendrive with fat32 on usb´s lapdock, the cellphone recognize it, but when I enter on Entertainment Center, on "Videos", dont show the file.

To hook up my HD to this puppy here and play movies to a tv?

Perhaps I posted on the wrong HD forum? F. Spartan, do you think it would make a diff?
HD doesn't have TV-OUT, so no.
yes, it is possible. You can hook it up through Usb and put it in mass storage mode. You'll be able to play movies that are stored on the Microsd card of your HD. But that would be thesame as plugging in a simple usb flash drive. You won't be able to get tv out from the HD
Right, I'm not trying to get tv out from the HD. My question was wether this item would recognize the memory card and hence be able to play movies, pictures, music through the box.
In that case: yes, it will most likely work
Got the phone on launch and enjoying it so far but 1 major problem is the external memory card file-system: FAT32.
Now the phone can handle MKV file extensions but a good majority of files are larger than 4GB and FAT32 cannot handle anything of that size. Does anyone know how this can be remedied without hacking the phone? I really dont want to mess around with the kernel as I did with HTC Desire & Samsung Galaxy S and long term suffered from no updates.
So far I have formatted the memory card via Ubuntu to ext4 but the phone will always prompt to format when I go into the card. If I ignore this I can see my files BUT again I cant for some bizarre reason transfer large files into the phone. Remember the applications to connect to the phone are New Pc Studio & Keis are Windows based so they will not recognize the external card due to the linux filesystem.
The only way I can get files into the phone is via Keis Air but transferring files via WIFI larger than 4GB always breaks.
Its madness for Samsung to be able to play MKV files but not be able to format the external memory card to a filesystem that can handle the damn filesize!
Have you tried pushing the files via adb?

sorry
but i don't think android can play videos sized more than 4gb!
i think it is because of the system
I think Kies chops the video up automatically when you use it to transfer anything over 4GB to the SD card/External SD card (Fat32). Give it a try?
Use handbrake for movies. I had a ton of 1080p movies I shrunk and file size was cut in half with no loss of quality.

Is there any other format I can use on my 32 GB Sd Card, a side from FAT 32?
I bought this card so I could take movies out of my home library and put them on the SD card with the intention of watching them on the tab using dice player.
All my movies are 4+ GB in size, so FAT 32 is out. I tried MAC OS journaled with no luck.
Is there an app, or some other method I can use to accomplish my goal?
I know I can transfer wirelessly to the tab without issue, and that's great for 2-3 movies but I'd like to travel with more than 2-3 movies AND without having to re-size, download a smaller size, etc...
I download movies from http://mobiletheatre.info/mobile/ and they come as MP4s. You could probably use a conversion program to pack them up a bit. Mine are like 600MB-1.2GB each
With the adapter, can movies be played directly from a flash/thumb drive instead of having it take up memory on the Tab?
I'm able to mount my 500gb external drive and play AVI's and other media... seems to work just fine in fact.

I was reading that ppl were having problems with external storage drives. good to know, thanks
what about usb flash drives and micro sd cards? do they stutter or anything when playing big files like 720p movies?
Hey guys! So, I would like to use our OG to play movies when I go over to friends' places. I have the MHL adapter and I have the movies (1080P) but I can't get my movies to copy over to the SD card. My movies are around 8-10GB and I know that FAT32 has a max file size of 4GB, so I'm trying to figure out how I should format the card so that I can transfer files larger then 4GB to the SD card!! Any Ideas? I tried ext4, but this was just reformatted to FAT32 when I put it in the OG.
Did some searching and found this . . .
