samsung ua40d5003BR

Hi guys some help please?

This TV comes with a usb in connection however when connecting a drive with movies it doesn't play them.
is this TV not capable of movie playback on its built in media player? Does it even have one?
I see on samsung website it says you can view photos or listen to music but can't find info on movies.

Does it perhaps need a software update?
not my TV so don't know what version it's on
Thanks guys

I thought you had the same tv as mine but I have a UA40C5000 (which does play video files except mkv if I remember correctly). The UA40D5003BR doesn't do video off usb out the box and the reviews I see on here don't lead me to believe anyone has figured out how to get it working - http://reviews.in.samsung.com/7463-en_in/UA40D5003BRMXL/samsung-ua40d5003br-reviews/reviews.htm

Sorry not to be of more help :/

Thanks it's for a friend of mine. Can't believe it doesn't play video. I see some guys have posted changing it to see itself as the 5000 model in advanced settings but I have not been able to get it to work

Disappointing that a 5 series doesn't play video through USB. Even my 4 series does.
