Dumb question. Do they have hard drives for recording television programs or perhaps holding mp4 or audio files to play on TV? Basically just a drive, processor, and remote?
Oh you should be able to do that with a thumb drive and a modern smart TV. I know you can look at photos, slideshows, and play music from a thumb drive because I've done it. I've never played MP4 video files though, so someone needs to confirm...I just want to basically preload mp4 video onto a drive to play on TV. I can copy from DVD and watch many movies back to back. Also any slideshows or videos I record outside. My emphasis is less on recording from TV since DVR does that fine.
Yeah mp4 videos can be quite large. I don't think I can run a 3gb file from thumb drive.Oh you should be able to do that with a thumb drive and a modern smart TV.

Even a 256 GB thumb drive? Dang fam.Yeah mp4 videos can be quite large. I don't think I can run a 3gb file from thumb drive.
Either Plex or Jellyfin would do wonders.Even a 256 GB thumb drive? Dang fam.
If you have a spare computer or VM environment, Plex is a pretty decent game changer.
