Solved! Can Toshiba 24L4200U play video from USB key?

[JanScan_910]

I have created a custom animation for a medical office I am trying to loop on their in office TV.

Is there a way to get a Toshiba 24L4200U television to play a video file from USB stick?
When I found the media player within the TV, it only gave me 2 options: Photos or Music.

The written instructions (manual) it says it plays music or video files.

Is there some kind of App I can copy onto the USB to play the MP4 file?

Thank you,

Jan

manual said photo or music, where did you see music or video?

Hi RGD, Thanks for your reply. It was mentioned in another PDF of the manual I found somewhere online... I think it was only mentioned in the general features section. Music or video files. But they never went into detail about how to play the video files. I can see from the manual you sent me the media player does not play video.

As a possible solution I would like to try connecting a laptop with a video player to the Toshiba with an HDMI cable.

You can use something like this

I use them for window displays on repeat. They do sometimes freeze and need to be restarted but mostly work well and are cheap and simple.

Hello American,

Thanks very much. I will suggest it to my client.

Do you know what sort of cable I'd need to connect the Toshiba to the DVD player?
