    hi boardsies :D

    for christmas,being the good girlfriend that i am;), i bought my bf a new lg tv:http://www.powercity.ie/?par=10-13-42PJ35

    the problem is the tv wont recognise the video files(avi) i have on the usb stick. when we put in our usb stick,the only folders it shows are picture and music folders ,which the tv will happily play pictures and music from.

    how do i get this tv to recognise and play my video files?...any help would be greatly appreciated
    thanks guys

    You would have to look at what codecs/video formats the tv supports. My guess us that it only supports a limited number of formats.

    Maybe there is a way to update the tv by downloading new firmware. Youd be best to check specific LG forums...

    Maybe when you check what format of vids the tv will play then download a converter online to change the format of the vid from avi.

    you have to get into the engineers menu and activate it
    i have a 42" one myself and only found out about this recently
    i have googled it but i am still not 100% on the procedure
    there are a few instructions on youtube also
