Hi

I have a Philips 55POS9002 TV, just updated it and now VLC dosent find the external USB, please help, i tried reinstall TV and VLC, dosent help. TV:s internal player is lagging, before uppdating the TV VLC worked fine.

Try 3.1.0-RC2 in beta for the Store.

Yeah can sombody help please. i have also updated the tv and also troubels with the usb!!!

Hi, skippy24, what version of VLC did you try?

Just the one on google appstore of tv. But also kodi is not working the usb. He read only usb of the philips tv

3.0.13 version vlv

Use 3.1.0-rc2

But also other applications do not read the usb

No other mediaplayer find external usb or hard drive, only the TV:s player and that one is lagging:(

i can not install 3.1.0-rc2, i put it into a usb but app manager dont find the usb:)

Have the same problem with Philips Pus7303. After Android updating in March all Android Apps including VLC and Kodi don't see external usb devices. I found, that players don't find storages formated in NTFS, but standart TV player finds all usb devices in FAT32 and NTFS. I contacted Philips support, but they only say to resest TVm but that didn't help. I think that problem caused by last Android update. But now I don't know how to solve the problem.

3.1.0-rc2 didn't help

Sorry then, not sure we can do anything about that.

Hi,
I have the same problem on tv Philips 49 PUS 8503: after upgrated to android oreo vlc 3.1.0-rc4 shows the presence of a pen drive usb, but says the folder is empty.
One week ago, when the tv had android 7 vlc worked very well reading video files on the pen drive usb.
Can you solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.

We have access to no Philips TV, so it is hard to fix, once they did change their OS by updating.

I have an update:
the pendrive I use has a NTFS file system, but i changed the file system from NTFS to FAT 32 and VLC now read the files storage in.
SO, can you solve the problem in light of this new evidence, in order to use pendrive usb with NTFS file system?
Thanks.
