So i have this new tv and its my first time owning an android tv. First is i format the usb to become a removable storage from the TV. Second is i wanna put on some HD movies on the drive. so i copy 1 movie (7gb) to the external. and it always says FILE IS TOO LARGE FOR THE DESTINATION. Can i format the usb drive from my PC? Please help. i wanna watch HD movies on my new tv.
That TV should support NTFS and ExFat
To convert a FAT32 to NTFS on Windows just: Connect the external drive to the PC Open a file explorer and check the assigned letter Maybe D or E
Start > search > CMD right click en choose Run as administrator A black screen will appear Supposing the assigned letter to the external drive it's E:\
Just write the following command: Convert E: /fs:ntfs
The process will begin the conversion, wait til' it finish, copy your movie, eject the disk and continue from there. Good luck
What device?
Supported filesystem types differ from device to device. Fat32 has a 4GB file size limit, and that might be what you're running into.
Unfortunately, external drive support is really terrible with Android TV in general. Best bet is streaming.
FS issue change to an FS that supports large files.
Try converting to NTFS should work
