Android TV. HELP (ONLY FAT32 NO NTFS)

by FiddleVGU

Hello all! Today I bought smart android tv (idk if I can say the brand. Sorry if Im not supposed to say it) The TV is Philips 7900 series. I thought that I can watch my 4k movies just by putting in a flash drive. But it didnt work... For the next 3 hours I was searching in the internet what is the problem. I found out that the TV only accepts fax32 flash drives. I was like ok lets change it. But then I found that I can upload only up to 4GB of file. Can someone tell me what to do? I want to watch 4K on this 4K TV, but I have no idea how to add the movie to detect it. Every comment helps! :)

Does it support exFat?

You might be able to add external USB support for NTFS/exFat with:

Try installing Kodi. My Tv is supposed to only support FAT32, but when I pop in an NTFS drive with Kodi open, it will read the files fine. If that doesn't work, you could also just try streaming from a network share on your computer with something like Kodi or Plex.

You'll need to do it over the network.

well now, I have never owned a TV with Android but pretty much all devices I have come across has had NTFS capability in the last 15 years. My AndroidTV stb also reads NTFS fine.

Have you tried with an ExFAT formatted drive?
