And limits to what files they can play (AKA decoding.)
It's an old problem and solved by using something that can support the drive and files. Sorry no, no maker seems to be upgrading Smart TVs to say be on par with what a PC can play or support.
Hello,
I have a Samsung UN50J6300 smart Tv and when I connect my WD My Passport 2tb external drive I get the message "this file not supported". Has any one had the same issue? I was told that it might be because the drive is 2 tb. My 1tb Passport works fine. I couldn't find in the settings what format should be. Both my drives are NTFS. There is no setting for Fat32.
Has anyone found a solution for this??
