    You need to put up Tv model number and file type of movie...

    Here
    These provide, as you would expect, a selection of multimedia features. But sadly the support they offer is more restrictive than we would have hoped. For instance, the USBs and SD card slot can only play JPEG photos, not movie or music files. Worse, while the Ethernet port is capable of streaming in stuff from DLNA PCs, these PCs have to use Windows 7. And even then we found the number of file types the TV worked with extremely limiting.

    The USB ports only support pictures so when you say external drive, unless it has a media player built in it won't work, I can't find a link for supported movie file types.

    It needs a seperate Toshiba dongle for Wi Fi also.

    Sorry Bruffkid for late reply, I don't have an Xbox but the guys over on the Xbox Forums will help you out I'd imagine.
