USB Memory Stick > an LCD Tv

[Lonewolf]

My thinking is to try the following, but would it work?

Copy media onto a memory stick and plug it into an LCD using a USB > HDMI cable/connector.
Even if I could play the media would I be able to hear the audio?

no

you need a way of sending an audio / video signal. USB memory sticks dont do this.

You could buy a HD tv that has a USB slot for playing media though. Sony / samusng and a few others have this functionality.

Thanks for your reply

If you have a laptop, you could also play the media on that and then use a HDMI to the television in question?

I've found a USB port on my Dvd player. Would a stick work through that?

should do, what player is it ?

My TV has a USB port but only plays MP3 or JPEG files.
My Samsung DVD/Home Cinema also have a USB port and can play media files up to 1gb in various formats (DIVX etc) so it might work throught your DVD player if it has a port.

Technika. It's a few years old now and not the best

Will probably play divx, mp3 and jpg fine I'd have thought.

Out of intrest which TV is it you have that will only play the JPEGS and MP3s? As if it's an LG there is a very easy way to enable divx support.

Samsung LE37. But it doesn't matter as I don't use the TV slot anyway as the Home Cinema one does Divx

I guess there's only one real way to find out...
