Can I play my own videos or media files on the ?
No, the short-model does not support playing videos from USB devices or streaming media over your network. This includes:
- Video files stored on USB drives
- Recordings from other Freeview recorders
- Media streaming via DLNA or other network protocols
While we understand this would be a useful feature, supporting media playback would require extensive development to handle the many different video and audio formats that exist. For now, the short-model focuses on providing excellent Freeview recording and playback capabilities.
If you need to play media files, we recommend using a dedicated media player or smart TV apps for this purpose.
