Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but neither of the 2 bits of software I'm going to refer to appear to have a useful user forum...
I put together a presentation using Canva, that I want to run on a loop on an old LG 29MT45D. I saved the file as an mp4, which played just fine on my laptop. However, when I transferred it to USB and tried to play it on the TV I got an error saying the file was not valid. After several attempts at other solutions I used VLC media player to convert the file to ".mp4_1080P_for_TV". Lo and behold it worked perfectly! That was yesterday. Today I tried to play it and got the invalid file message again! I took the USB stick from the TV and tried it on my laptop. It worked perfectly. Put the USB back in the TV, and again it worked perfectly!
Does anyone have any idea what is going here? I can see from events so far that perhaps removing the USB stick and re-inserting it daily might be a solution of sorts, but the TV is mounted high up (over a bar) so that would be a pain... And I'd like to fix it properly if I can!
TIA
