Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has any work around. I have just bought a LG BP325 solely for playing media files of an external hard drive. However it doesn't recognise the hard drive. It's a strange one though I have tried 3 external hard drives and the last thing I tried was a 2TB Sata placed in a caddy dock and I plugged that into the DVD player and it recognised it? I then pulled the hard drive out of the one that wasn't working and tried that in the caddy dock in which the 2TB was working and it didn't recognise it? I have tried formatting it to exfat, ntfs and fat32 and still no luck? Any ideas?
LG BP325 & External HDD Playback?

What partition type is supported, and what is your HD formatted to?
I'm not sure on the partition type however I have a 2TB in a caddy dock working fine on it. I just needed my portable hdd's working instead of plugging it in all the time. I have tried everything from exfat, ntfs and fat32 still no hope.

Maybe large capacity drives aren't supported? Try some USB sticks first
I have a 2TB in a Caddy Dock and that's working fine. I have 2 external hdds one 500GB and the other 750GB and neither are working. Kinda strange

Contact LG about requirements of the USB.
What about using LAN, with a network share HD or NAS?

I would but I've got the Virgin Hub and I can't even plug a USB in it haha. I'm snookered. If you google the model number of this player it really should play of an external! Grrrrrrr!

... so it is neither the power up sequence (no plug&play) nor a usb3.0 caddy(even though it works with 2tb) that are the problems
