Hey there,
Now that i have my n10 now, I stop taking my laptop with me everywhere I go.
I was wondering if i'd be able to download songs into my n10 and transfer them to my mp3 player via usb cable(with this adapter attached: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41rAfyxlHNL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
Or if i were to manage my pen drive could i just use this adapter and a file manager on n10, will it detect my pen drive?
Thanks
Tim

Hello, my wife is getting me a Nexus 7 for Christmas. I know it has no SD slot but I know you can use USB OTG. My main question is I am wanting to use FPse on the Nexus 7 and I was wondering if you can play a ISO file from the USB OTG without rooting it ? Thank you P.S, Sorry if I posted in the wrong section
you do need root for the otg cable to work properly

Mine works perfectly fine using an OTG cable. If you want to put files on it and back on the PC it may be a problem and believe you need root for that, but putting files off a PC and plugging in the N7 works fine, just need Nexus Media Importer off the play store. Its 4.99 IIRC, but well worth it.

I have had a play around on the one she got me, just to spend the £15 Google Play credit that it came with. But what I'm asking is, can I play a direct file from the USB rather than using the internal memory?

Yes you can play media (view pics, video, play music) directly from an attached usb device (sdcard, thumbdrive, etc.) without being rooted by using the Nexus Media Importer as stated above. If rooted and using the free Stickmount, you can do all that plus copy files to the attached usb device.
yes it is possible

I'm playing with mame and my set of roms Is on my USB flashdisk. When rooted with stickmount installed, USB is mounted as a sdcard then it's possible to install datas the same way.
Sorry for my english.
Nowadays, there are a lot of TV's, radio's and etc. with USB port. This enables the user to hook up their USB flash drives to instantly play mp3's and even videos. Is there an app, tweak, or anyway that I can hook up my Nexus 7 to my TV via USB and act like a normal USB flash drive so my TV will be able to play it contents? Thanks!
AW: [Q] How can I make my N7 act as a regular USB flash drive so my TV can recognize
Sorry, no chance. The Nexus7 does not support the USB mass storage protocol. Either your TV accepts MTP / WiFi (DLNA) or I do not see any chance.

Oh.. That's sad to hear. Seems I'm running out of options playing my videos on my TV since my it's (my TV) not DLNA capable. Anyways, thanks!
Hey guys, I got the nexus player yesterday and I've been seeing mixed results for what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm simply trying to view movies off of a USB flash drive using an OTG cable on a non-rooted Nexus Player. Is this possible? I've sideloaded ES File Explorer and I can see the USB Flash Drive listed under the 'Local' panel of ESFE. When I click on the Flash Drive nothing happens. There is also a eject icon directly beside the text of the USB Flash Drive. I've tried 3 different flash drives 8gb, 16gb, 32gb, and formatted as exFAT, FAT32, and NTFS.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance!
I'm having the exactly the same problem.
I just saw a video that claimed that you cannot click on the USB using the nexus player remote. You will need to use a mouse to select the USB drive in ESFE. I haven't been able to test this as I do not currently have a USB hub. I'm ordering one today and I will report back if it works.
So my powered USB hub arrived today and using the mouse to click on the flash drive worked!
I also discovered that you can add the USB to the favourites menu on ES File Explorer to get around the mouse requirement. If your USB shows up as usb2006 or 2007 or whatever, simply add usb://200x as a favourite folder. This will allow you to bypass the requirement of using your mouse. The only negative is that the USB number seems to change every time it's re-plugged in. I got around this by making favourites for usb://2006, usb://2007, etc..
I have it working right now as a FAT32... But I can't to see what file systems are supported. It would see it with ExFAT, but nothing would work. FAT32 works, but has obvious limitations. Does NTFS work? Has anyone tries Ext4?

I connected a USB hub to my NP so I was able to use my NTFS formatted external drive and my mouse at the same time. I found my video files on HDD by ESFE but there is no any media player app that plays 1080p MKV movies correctly. I tried ESFE's media player, V Player, MX Player... unsuccessfully.
Playback was always laggy and audio problems occured pretty often.
Does anyone know a good option/app for that?
I can't post links but search for the kodi android app and sideload that apk. It works flawlessly.
Download VLC to play movies when you use a external drive or save them to the NP. That's what I do and it works great.
I'm sure there is a easy answer to this and I wasnt sure where else to ask. I use a western digital media player to play all my media at home. Normally I have a my hard drive connected to it and use my PC for downloading. My PC has kinda crapped out so I've been using my Note 3 for all my downloading. I'm just wondering if there is a way for me to plug my phone into the media player as a thumb drive to playnmovies off of. I'm sure there is a easy way to do so, also is there a cable I can purchase to transfer files from my smartphone to my hardrive without a PC ? I'm currently running cm12 nighlties if that helps at all. Sorry if this isn't the right place to post this question. Thanks for any help I can get. Cheers.
You need to enable USB Mass Storage, which was removed from Android in 4.1.2.
Not sure if it can be enabled in CM; someone else might know.
As for transferring files between your phone and a drive, you need an USB OTG (On The Go) cable.

Has anyone tried connecting an external USB BluRay/DVD ROM drive to Nexus Player via OTG? I have Kodi installed on the Nexux Player, would this configuration allow me play DVD or Bluray? Would Nexus provide enough power to the drive?

I get a big fat fail. I'll look into more.
