You may already be aware of this, but it can only play from the USB stick in stand-alone mode, not when connected to a SageTV Server.

I had a presentation last night which was a video and I didn't want to trancode a HD video into a losser compression so a laptop could playback smoothly. Also I didn't feel like carrying a bunky laptop either. it was easier to use extender and hook it up then insert USB with the HD video to play the video so I have a remote and a easy way to pause or go back on the HD video during the. presentation HD video I had was more than 3Gig and couldn't be copied to a FAT32 disk so I tried the exFAT first and SageTV wouldn't recognized it so I reformatted it to NTFS and it worked. The video playback smoothly and awesome from a USB formatted with NTFS. Bill
