My new Samsung Blu-ray player doesn’t play MP4 video in USB stick
Hi, I just bought a new Samsung Blu-Ray player yesterday. Everything is fine, we watched a movie that came with it last night on my 1080p samsung HDTV and really loved the quality. Now, today I added some 1080p MP4 videos in my USB stick which are mixed with some Mpeg4(mp4)’s type of video. For some reason, when I go in the ”videos” section it doesn’t see anything at all, I’ve updated the firmware of the player to the latest version but it didn’t help. Please help Thanks.
