You can play movies directly from the drive with VLC I also tried mx player but that one didn't work. While the app itself it's free, the module for mounting exFAT or NTFS it's not, the one for exFAT costs 5 or 6 euros if I remember correctly.Īnd after all of this I can guarantee it works, I just tested it myself on my pixel using the trial mode of the app (you get 2 days), you can try it yourself.
The second and last app is exFAT/NTFS by paragon software You need 2 apps one is total commander file manager this one is free and will be used to browse the contents of the drive. Given lots of people use Android TV to watch personal media (such as DVDs you've ripped to you hard drive or home videos you've converted to digital format), having a way to quickly access and play your cloud-based videos means you can watch your content easily from anywhere in the world.Ok, after reading a bit on this, yes, pixel will unfortunately format the drive in FAT32 (I say unfortunately because FAT32 doesn't support files bigger than 4 GB) if you're fine with that everything should be ok, and also windows won't prompt you to format the drive back to exFAT as the commenter above said, you can just plug it in and it will work on a PC normally regardless of the file system format.Īlso if FAT32 is a problem for you as you need to use files bigger than 4 GB don't worry there's a workaround for pixel to work with exFAT and even NTFS, both not having that 4gb file size limitation. Importantly for an Android TV file manager, it can also connect to your cloud drives. While it's not complicated, it takes a while to get accustomed to how the app works. On the downside, it's not particularly user-friendly. The two panes make it easy to move an APK from a USB stick to your Android TV's storage drive. In the context of sideloading, this is great. It takes a dual-pane approach to file management. The first choice we recommend is X-plore File Manager. Sideloaded file explorers often require an external mouse or a gaming controller to operate, so we're going to avoid those. Most importantly, all the apps are easy to navigate using your Android TV remote. As we walk through these choices, you'll notice some recurring themes.
