Help with playing movies

[andrewh]

Please can you help me ? i am new to using tablets and still getting use to it, i have 2 questions, both viewing movies, 1) can i view a movie via a usb sitick by using the OTG cable supplied, if so how, as i have plugged the usb stick into the OTG cable, but nothing happens. 2) when i put the micro SD card in the slot, does the movie play automatically or am i missing something ?. I am not very computer `minded`, so can you bear this in mind with your answers
Many Thanks
Andrew

Hi Andrewh, welcome to the forum.

I did a minor edit on your original topic title, hope you dont mind . It just makes it slightly easier for other users to find answers if they get the same issue that you have experienced.

FREE!! Always the free,, the only difference is the free one sometimes come with adverts (a little box that pops up to the side advertising other apps or something ).

Also if you have a google email account you can pair it with Adroid market and then if you're at your PC you click "install" and the next time to turn your Tablet on it will download and install for you...

I'm not telling you how to suck eggs, but if you get stuck just ask and I can upload some screen shots for you.. It's not technical it's just a case of getting use to navigating around the tablet.

I'm normally the last person to get something so I make a point of passing on the info and making as easy as possible whenever I can.

Thanks Mexhunt, thanks for being so helpful, as you say its just a case of navigating around the tablet, some screen shots would be great, i have a google email account, but as much help would appreciated.

Hay Andrewh,

I will take some snaps/screen shots step by step on how install the software and then how to find your Mico SD card - after that I can show you how to streem films from your pc to your tablet if you like?
