Troubleshooting

Do I have to format the USB Drive to use it in the TV app?

No. To access a drive at the USB Drive TV application, formatting is not needed.

How do I get to the file I want quickly in the USB drive?

Users can access the file they want really quick by using the alphabet bar that appears 

within the app.

Can I play media from the USB drive at the TV?

Yes. The files are displayed according to the directory structure on the USB drive itself. 

Users can locate a file in the directory structure and play it on the TV.

YouTube

Why can’t I see or play some of the YouTube videos?

Some of the videos might be restricted by YouTube based on content, country, etc. 

Those videos will not be displayed on the system or will show an error message when 

tried to play.

How do I login to my Youtube account?

From the TV, launch the YouTube application. Press UP arrow to scroll to the “Sign In” 

page. From there, the user should be able to login to their account using the code.

How do I find the video I want on YouTube?

Launch YouTube and use UP arrow to scroll to “Search” page. Start typing the search 

term. Once the user types at least 3 letters, the search will initiate automatically and 

the results will be displayed.
