Why did the video stop playing?

Modified on Thu, Feb 20 at 12:54 AM

There are many fine older TVs (over 10 years old), but they may have a hard time playing the complete video file, which is almost 2GB. If your video freezes, try these fixes:
  1. Update your TV's software.
    TVs are like computers, and their software sometimes require an update. Most TVs can connect through your WiFi, and have a software update command in the Media Player. 

  2. Unplug, wait a minute and re-plug in your TV to re-boot.
    TVs, like computers, occasionally require a re-start. Unplug your TV for a minute, then plug it back in. Turning off and on is not the same thing because TVs go into stand-by mode: unplug the TV. Don't believe us? See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZRpakohC30

  3. Try running the slideshow instead of the video.
    Go to the paintings folder open an image, and use the TV's slideshow feature to view the photos.


Other issues
  • You may have pulled out your memory stick instead of ejecting it, which can sometimes erase the stick. If you have a computer, check your memory stick to see if content is still on it.
  • Do you have a Samsung OLED, QLED, SUHD or another new TV that requires the NTFS format?
