Hi,
Few weeks back i copied some films onto a 32g flash drive.I was able to watch them but there was a fault with the known space on the drive.
I have purchased another flash drive but when I connect it to my Humax...its not recognised.My son has a 4g drive..that is not showing on the Humax but I can see it on my PC.
Would I need to formatt the haed drive in the Humax?..I have done a factory reset but its still not recognising the flash drive.
I have used both USB ports on the Humax..same result.
Any help on this?
Cheers.

I think this may have something to do with the way the USB flash is formatted, there are 3 possible ways to do this, FAT32, NTFS and EXT2. All of these had advantages and disadvantages e.g. FAT32 has a 4GB limit. There is a Pros and Cons help file HERE

Thanks for the link,ezra....
I did purchase a 32g flash drive but it only had 11g of memory..:(
I got a 64g memory stick...put photos on it and was able to view them on the TV....
Will copy films later in the week and see if they play....

Many Thanks...
