How to Format Your USB Flash Drive for PS4 Video Playback: A Simple Guide
Not my normal kind of video, but this bugged the heck out of me lol... I was trying to watch videos on my PlayStation 4 from a USB flash drive, but it wasn't plug-and-play like I thought it would be. The requirements were pretty particular, so I decided to make a video explaining how to format your USB drive for PS4 video playback in as short of an amount of time that I could. So here, I'll show how to format your USB flash drive for PS4 video playback.
1. Format your USB flash drive with the correct file system, using a Windows PC
2. Create a path that is easy for your PlayStation 4 to navigate to your video files.
Step 2 was what threw me off. Like why does the folder have to be titled so particularly? Just read the folder like a computer reads a storage device! Anyway, I figured someone else would find this useful. If I saved one person a headache, I'll be happy.
