Is there any way to get a Sony AndroidTV to read NTFS external hard drives?

by drunk-philosopher

I've been playing around with different apps but haven't found anything that can read NTFS drives, I've only had luck with FAT drives but would like to play files >4gb

There are a couple of apps that can help mount an NTFS drive, you could try those. Or you could try streaming the file through Plex or something.

I think it can read NTFS. I hooked up a 2gb WD my passport ultra to it last week that was formatted as NTFS (MBR). I used Archos Video Player. Only prob was Archos automatically scans and scrapes the drive for content and somehow ended up with 4gb in its local cache after that.

I believe it will work with ext2/3/4, but you would need a Linux system around to format it.

Try exFAT, it supports files larger than 4GB and many Android services support it.

Weird. I've formatted a 16GB NTFS flash drive in a Sony Android TV and it plays a 10GB+ video file no problem.
