JSP Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hi, I am considering buying an Avtex TV and wonder what experience anyone has regarding what video files work on these TV's. Are they particularly picky on what files can be read or will they take anything you can throw at it? Regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerThat Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Hi John, welcome to the forum B-) I find that mine plays mkv files ok, with a 'but'... And that but seems to be dependant on the resolution of the file. If I try a 720p mkv it seems to have real trouble with it, but will play the SD equivalent just fine. Mine TV quite old though, newer ones might cope much better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJA Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Hi JSP We have had a 16" Avtex TV for a number years and in order to save carrying loads of DVD's we convert them to .avi files, which are MPEG 2, and play them direct from USB Sticks or USB connected Hardrives. One thing that we have notred is that occasioanlly our TV disables DivX in its internal menu and then the TV cannot see the file names or play them. It is a simple matter to restore the setting. Our friends TV neever seems to lose this setting. Our TV only works on the basis of the connect storage unit being Fat32 formatted. Not sure if this still applies to current models.

OxfordMorgan Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I've found that converting to MP4 works at all resolutions (1080P). Plenty of free Video Converters online - I use Any Video Converter Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
