Transfer Large media files from PC to Sony Android TV

abusuzuki — Sat, 07 Mar 2020 15:07:57 GMT

I would like to transfer large files from the computer to the internal TV memory. I connected the computer to the Sony Bravia TV using A to A USB cable, but the PC didn't recognize the Sony Bravia Android TV, Is there a way to transfer large files directly from PC to the internal TV memory?

The wait is the same, use an USB Memory...

Furthermore, the internal Memory of the TV is limited for a large file...

The reason I do not want to rely on the external memory like SD Card or flash memory is that I want to watch an episode every day and I want to delete an episode when I finish watching each episode, and deleting files from the external memory is impossible because Sony Android TV can only read from external drive, As for the limited internal memory, I can register an external memory like 1 TB HDD drive to use as an internal memory.

Ok, I know that, with Android TV 9 (Pie) is possibile to transfer a file in the external Memory plugged into TV, by home network.

If you don't have Android TV 9 I think that is not possibile...

I have Android 8.0.0 , So do you mean that files from the external drive can be edited, deleted in Android TV 9?

Today, I went to the local electronics store to return the TV, but the salesman refused because I opened the box, but since the ability to delete files from external memory will be available in the next versions, then the TV will be like a treasure, To me, this is like a fortunate coincidence that I bought TV now, especially since I searched on this forum and found that the community has been facing the problem of editing files from external memory since 2017. Anyway, thank you for this big news.

I don't see why you have to wait for Android Pie to copy files to the internal memory. All you want to do is to transfer large files and then delete them when you have watched them. Or do you really want to edit them on the TV? Anyway, I suggest you use the method 4.2 in the below link to copy from the PC to the TV using SMB Shares and using the X-plore file manager https://tinyurl.com/yx96hkuj
