I have a 42PFL7656 and I'm trying to browse a WD harddisk on it. The only thing I get is "USB-memory device is reading files..." and it's been like that for over half an hour. The harddisk is 1 TB and the total amount of files about 60 GB. What am I doing wrong?
What are the physical dimensions of the disk?
Is there an additional power input?
Maybe there too many files in a single folder?
I figured out that I had to format my disk to FAT32 to make it work. Which is pretty much useless because FAT32 doesn't hold files over 4 GB and I wanted to backup my bluray disk on that harddisk. :(
Are you sure?
Because the 9705 (2010) model, does support NTFS disks.
Does your manual mention NTFS?
You are correct. The manual states that only FAT32 & DOS filesystems are supported on 7000 series.
And yes, this make the usb playback useless. I don't know what Philips is thinking...
Thanks for looking that up for me. That really isn't good news. I can't believe that this is something you have to take into account when buying a TV. I think most people don't even know this.
So...does anyone have any experience streaming these kind of files (10 GB plus)? That seems to be my only option at this point.
I think it is not correct! I own a 37PFL7605 (7000 series, year 2010): even if the User Manual says that only FAT or DOS formatted USB peripherals are supported, my TV reads my 1 TB Hard Disk having 4 partitions: 3 formatted FAT32 and 1 formatted NTFS. All four of them are read without any problem (except for the TV Mediaplayer, unfortunately very poor!)Quote:

on the other ahnd, multiple partitions.... i dont think so
That sounds promising, if anything I could give it a try. I'll let you guys know if it works for me! Thanks for all the input!
It is really a nonsense that a TV set as the 7005, able to reproduce mkv files, won't support NTFS formatted Hard Disks...Quote:

And I have another one, 320 GB, 6 partitions (5 FAT32 and 1 NTFS), powered via USB: it works too!
Hi,
NTFS is supported - I also have a 500 GB NTFS formatted USB powered HDD on my 9000 series (2010 model).
