Silvercrest TV-5TB Drive Video Issues

    I got a Seagate 5TB hard drive today and formatted it to FAT32 to work with my tv.

    But when I go to watch videos on it, I get random errors.

    Some play ok
    Some wont play
    Folders I know how files come up empty
    Go to play a video that’s 2 hours long and it plays another much shorter video

    Anyone any ideas? I’ve read quickly some TVs wont support a drive this big, but then would that mean it does what mine does or shouldn’t play any at all?

    There's a few issues there alright. Perhaps the tv will only play certain types of files and that's why the folders are coming up empty.
