Samsung Ku6000 portable Hdd connectivity

[Sagor]

Someone please help me.
I have 55inch ku6000 which is similar to ku6300 only difference is lack of Bluetooth.
The tv is wall mounted & the usb port is not reachable that's why i connect usb extender on usb 1a (HDD) port.Pendrive is working fine.
But my 500 hdd doesn't show.Is my usb extender problem it or is there some sort of tricks to view my hdd.
This hdd perfectly shown on my sony w800c.

HDD format on NTFC

I also posted it on Home Theater Equipment section.

most likely lack of power.. are you sure it delivers 1a? and is your cable and extender rated for atleast 1a?

Yes i am sure it's 1a usb port because it was labeled as 1a.I don't know about extender cable.But it is working fine with pendrive even android phone,though because of MTP tv doesn't show every file.

a pendrive draws very little power,and your phone powers itself.. most likely your hdd is not getting enough power so it doesnt spin up. try getting a y cable so you can use 2 usb outputs to power it..

Can you minimum guaranty me?

I already buy one usb cable for this.

I ask for surety because of your suggestion i have to buy additional cable.

1 Y-cable & 1 USB extender.cable.

i can't guarantee anything without a proper inspection i'm afraid..
does the hard drive spin up when you plug it in? (does it make a sound?)
if it does, it's getting power but your tv doesn't recognize it..
if it doesn't make any sound, then it isn't getting enough power (assuming it works normally with a computer)

it may also be that your tv just doesn't support harddrives.. your manual will specify this and also what filesystems it accepts.. 

have you thought about using a nas or share to just stream the content to the tv over the network?

It doesn't spin i guess but it's makes tiking sound (like when hdd dying)and lights up.

And it's perfectly works with pc both usb 2.0 & 3.0 port.

This tv differently support HDD.

What is nas?

Only way to streaming pc video to tv is Plex.

Plex doesn't support changing the aspect ratio and it doesn't play video without encode.Because of cheap router i guess.

it sounds like it's not getting enough power.. trying to start and failing versus working fine on a computer


excerpt from the manual: (emphasis mine)

 

Spoiler

The TV may not be able to recognize the USB device or read the files
on the device if it is connected to the TV via a USB extension cable. 
● When connecting an external hard drive, use the USB (HDD) port. We recommend that you use an
external hard drive with its own power adapter.
● If there are multiple USB devices connected to the TV, the TV might not be able to recognize some or
all the devices. USB devices that use high-power input should be connect the USB [5V, 1A] port.
● The TV supports the FAT, exFAT, and NTFS file systems.

a NAS (or Network-attached storage) is basically a simple pc running 2 or more harddrives available on your network as network shares. some NAS also have the option of transcoding video for plex for instance. 

my brother has a top range model samsung tv, and it supports network shares so he can watch videos from his computer directly on the tv. it seems like a function that would be in the typical samsung smart tv OS, though yours might not have that option. 


also, as an alternative, you could get a raspberry pi and run kodi on it, though not sure how well it does with 4k... but a cheapo NUC or something running kodi should work just fine as well, though it is an extra cost. but you can get a very slick kiosk look out of it, like your own personalized on demand netflix

OOO thank you for reminding me the apps.I just totally forgot it.

Now i can play untouched bluray from pc to tv flawlessly without any hassle.
