Description

USB Media Browser allows you to view your photos and video from a USB drive via an OTG cable, without root! Overcome the players limited storage by adding your own. Imagine being able to view all your pictures and videos from a card reader, flash or hard drive connected to it. With an inexpensive OTG cable and the USB Media app, you now can.

Features:
1. Voice search for videos (by name) and photos (by date or month/year)
2. Automatic thumbnail generation for photos and videos
3. Easy to use intuitive interface.

Hardware Requirements:
1. A straight OTG cable (see screenshots for examples)
2. A USB flash drive, flash card reader or hard drive.
3. A game controller is NOT required. I'm currently investigating why that is showing on the Play Store.

Notes:

Android TV Global Search Requirements:
Large devices must be indexed by app
App much have USB device permission
-Check "Use by default for this USB device" from app when prompted

Photos:
JPEG, PNG and most RAW formats are supported

Video:
Most videos can be played with third party software such as MX Player.

Force thumbnail regeneration:

1. Go to Android TV Settings
2. Go to Apps
3. Go to USB Media Browser
4. Select Clear Cache

Voice Search:

I've tested with my video and photo library and it's working quite nicely. As languages and file name schemes do vary, it may not work as well with your collection. If you are having issues, please contact me via the E-mail Developer link and I'll see what I can do to tweak it.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

5 ★Outstanding. Successfully mounted my portable 500GB USB 3.0 Western Digital (bus-powered) hard drive and played videos from it. Took a minute or so to index all the files, and then presented all the folders that contained video at the same level. Thought I'd have preferred to browse the folders as they appear on the drive, but this is actually faster. If I had deep nested "adult" video folders, I would be worried, but I don't, so it's all good. I did get a crash trying to play one video, but I think it was just a fluke. Not taking a star off for what's probably Google's or Asus's fault.
4 ★This app works reliably on the Nexus Player to support NTFS files. The prompt when connecting a drive can be a little tricky if you have more than one drive connected. Definitely worth the purchase!
5 ★Very thoughtfully designed app for the Nexus Player. It works with every USB drive I've connected (both FAT32 and ExFAT). It works great when paired with MX Player. The interface can be a little busy, with several ways to browse the same content, but it's still very easy to use. The app is basically just "plug & play". When I first installed it, my device would crash when trying to play high-bitrate videos, but that problem has either gone away on its own, or has been fixed.
4 ★Developer is responsive and open for discussion about his application. This application looks fantastic and works pretty well.
1 ★I actually bought this because i was sure it would work. It crashes on my Nexus Player every time I try to open it
