Watch movies off usb ps4. I think it s recommended to have them both in caps. Then in that folder you ll need to have a folder called video. Transfer the converted movie file from your computer to the usb.

You should be able to see the file then even if it can t play. I watch movies and shows all the time on an external portable hard drive and on a usb stick watching entourage right now by doing it. Select video and then find your usb device.

This is thanks to the media player app which sony added more than a year and a half after the ps4 was released. Create a folder on the usb stick and place all videos into this folder. Insert usb flash drive into usb port turn ps4 on and then go to the main menu select video and find your usb flash drive select display all to see the video files that exists on your ps4 please choose the file that you want to transfer and press the triangle button choose copy and confirm the transferring the movies are transferred to your ps4 hard drive and then you can play movies on hdtv via ps4 from usb flash drive.

You can now go into the media player and select the usb stick from the list to watch your videos. You need a folder called ps4 in the root of the usb. Like the roku and chromecast sony s playstation 4 can play video and music files from a usb drive or another computer on your network your ps4 can even play local music files in the background while you play a game.

Like mentioned earlier the external storage needs to be formatted to fat32. Turn the ps4 on after making sure there is a disk in the system and then go to the main menu. Before you needed them to be in certain named folders but since their latest big patch you don t need to.
