Boss bv9976 wont play videos from USB?! Anyone know??

Hi,

Please consider using a bluetooth connection to transfer video from the camera to your in-car boss device. You can then play the mp4 video on your boss device. thank you.

go herehttp://www.bossaudio.com/product-info/manuals/ type in bv9976 in the search field
the manual will pop up - the wiring diagram is on page 7

Check the user manual (find one online if you don't have the printed version). It will list the file types that the player can decode and play. If it does not specifically list mp4 or mkv files, you're out of luck. There's no way to add codecs to most DVD players.

This tv will not play , wmv, avi, mov, mkv, or divx, the hitachi uses the xvid codec only, which means your video file types must be mp4, and not the h.264 mp4 either....but true mp4 video, if you have a connected usb drive full of movies, best bet is to download "youtube downloader" (free off the internet) install it to your PC, and use the convert feature to convert your movies to the ipad video mp4 setting, with the "same as original " quality ticked....and convert all your movie files to the xvid codec your tv wants, youtube downloader can convert anything, any filetype even flash. trust me this works 100% i know, i have the Tv, and i do know about codecs and scaling..and metadata....do this will be your best bet guys !!! happy viewing

Will DVD Players play MP4 files?

As we know, most old DVD players only support DVD video on DVD disc, they cannot play any video file not to mention MP4 file. Later, some DVD players can play video files on DVD disc. Even later, many DVD players come with USB ports, users can attach USB drive to it, and it can search and play video files on it. However, the video formats they support are very limited. Because DVD video is some kind of MPEG-2 video, this format is supported by nearly all DVD players. MP4 is newer than AVI format, some players doesn't support MP4 but support AVI. Hence, to play MP4 on DVD Players, we suggest you convert MP4 file to DVD-Players-sensible formats like the MPEG or AVI format.

It's possible that the Boss unit works with iPod and iPhone 3 and not the four. Does the unit state that it works with iPod/iPhone? Also, you may require a software upgrade

You'll have to reencode the videos to a supported codec. There are literally dozens of mp4 codecs. Try redoing them using Xvid or Divx.
