Can I Play Video Files from USB on Mi TV?

Sure. No matter which model of Mi TV or Mi Box, you are allowed to play videos stored on the USB flash drive. In case your USB device cannot be detected, you'd better format it as either FAT32 or NTFS format before storing your movie files. Normally, you'll be prompted "New USB device detected" message when the USB drive is plugged in.

Why Mi TV Failed to Play My Movie Files?

Our familiar MP4, MKV, AVI video files can be encoded by different video and audio codecs like H.264, HEVC, AV1, VP9, DTS, TrueHD, and more. And the built-in media player of Mi TV and Mi box is not that powerful to decode all of them. Once a certain codec cannot be recognized, you'll inevitably run into video playback issues, such as "This video format isn't supported. Press 'Back' to return.", MOV file no sound, MKV won't play, and so forth.

What Are Mi TV Supported Video Formats?

It's unfortunate that there is no single answer because Mi TV supported video formats differ from different models. You can check the Manual or Specification of your TV model and learn the details. The good news is, MP4 (H.264/AAC) format seems to be the one that is guaranteed to work on all Mi TV models. But there may be some other limitations that you need to pay attention to, such as the maximum video file size, resolution, frame rate, bit rate, etc.
