USB drive doesn't show in VLC and in inbuilt player after I formatted it.

by thurki

I formatted my 64GB USB drive. Prior to format it showed up in VLC as sdb1 folder. Now I don't find it, it also doesn't show up in inbuilt player. However if I connect my 2TB EHD to TV it shows up at both the places. It's a Samsung TV.

I have done a factory reset on TV and uninstalled and reinstalled VLC player but all in vain.

Help will be much appreciated.

There are different types of formatting, maybe try something else

most probably you set it to a different filesystem. Try formatting it to the same filesystem as it was before.

There are different types of file systems for storage devices.

So try formatting your pendrive with exFAT file system. exFAT formatted pendrives / external hard disks easily work on Android.

You need fat file system. Must have formatted to NTFS
