Copy off all the files from the stick and format the stick then add a few files you know worked. Then add a new one.
Smart TVs are dumb about what happens when it hits a file it can't decode. It might skip it, might loop on it with a loading icon. What we do know is the player is not as good as what is on our PCs.
I'm using my usb in the tv before and it works well on and I can watch my videos etc.. Then suddenly my tv stop reading my usb. Yes, my tv can recognise the usb but it can not read it, if you will click the usb, it will only have the "loading icon" which is very usual.
Hope to find answers! Thanks a lot!
