what format are these videos in? fat32 is what tends to work the best I would imagine. mp4 should be able to be read by most anything as well. 

mp4 no problems

Well the problem is sorted ,our son is going to have the tv and buy me a new present ,so i am back with my samsung 42inch flat screen watching all the old series on avi and xvid  etc that i never watched years ago ????

funny how we get old ,i remember when i was a groovy dude in the late 60s and my dad trying to get his head around the fact that i had a velvet suit and suede shoes and a lambreta scooter with lots of lights on the front,i guess one day my boy will look at his son and say "i remember my smart tv ,was the latest thing ,and his son just says "yes dad but that was the old days" wonder what he will be trying to get his head around?

Responding to fact as opposed to opinion. yes for some periods in history as was also enforced by the Catholic Church,

As you would know Muslims provided shelter for Jews from Christian persecution for hundreds of years in the past as did some Christian communities. However, none of the religions are free of followers who indulge in the ugliness of persecution and cruelty - even to this day. 

Funny how we dont here about most of these other religions who indulge in persecution and cruelty, but there are masses of stories of Muslim killings ,persecutions and cruelty , all the other terrorist killings must be censored and not reported ,especially those in Britain and down south here in Thailand .

its a religion of hate and persecution of other faiths,

I think blasphemy should be regarded the same way as witch burning, something that belongs in the far distant past. The problem is that this country has nuclear weapons, worrying isn’t it........

i spent some time in Pakistan , they still live in the far distant past ,disgusting hellhole .

How's that going to help playing movies on the TV?

 

I have a Samsung TV that plays most files, certainly plays .avi files. 

 

Occasionally there is a file it will not play, in which case I run it through a Video converter to change a file type that works.

 

I use the free "Vid Coder"  --  https://vidcoder.net/

 

Can you update the software on the TV?

????

the tv is the latest 65 bloody inch samsung curved screen, i have been using a ordinary samsung 42 inch  not smart tv (perfect) but my son thought dad should come into the "modern" age ,you know what they are like ,if their phone is 6 months old its "dated" 

its like being in the cinema????

He existed, if you ask me.

He can be compared to Buddha.

Mohamed also existed i think, but i don't know him and his history very well.

Well i can see differences between them Jesus and Buddha preached basically love and understanding ,neither ever got married ,while Mohamed got married divorced ,was a leader of an army who killed and subjucated people ,then married a six year old girl.

if i did  believe in a God i know who i would follow and I reckon old Buddah was the best bet ,followed by Jesus.. 

Its Christmas and our son just bought us a massive curved smart tv ,its great ,not that my old 42 inch non smart tv wasnt,but there is a problem ,i rarely watch tv ,but download loads of older series from a few years ago that i rarely saw and play them on a usb ,great very few problems ,until now ,on the new tv most wont play ,it just wont play avi files ,anyone know what to do ,can it be made to work? most of the older torrents seem to be all avi .

thanks in advance .

Poor old tourists in Pattaya ,no water ,have to drink beer ,anyway glad we have a tank and pump s o when the waters off i can still water the grass .

Our son went to school in the UK when he was young ,so living here now we celebrate xmas just the same as we did back home ,although as i get older the novelty has worn off ,or out ,a bit like our xmas decorations ,lol

Well it will be our 13th Christmas here ,our son and his girlfriend will be around for dinner ,there will be roast pots ,roast parsnips ,broccoli carrotts etc ,and the wife will have salmon with it ,i will have chicken and the kids will have roast pork ,Merry Xmas.????

The food court in Big C Pattaya Klang should be regarded as a human zoo and bring the tour buses in to see the farang natives in their enclosure. Great to people watch there.

Especially one Farang who has a strange pointed hairdo ,and eye shadow ,looks to be in his 40s ,usually sits with more normal looking guys ,seen him quite a few times in burger king as we walk past ,very strange .????

From what i see ,the amount of tourists are down ,now mostly seems to be tour groups ,a bit like Spain was in the 70s ,all included ,they spend little in the shops or restaurants , not so many "proper" tourists ,the baht is to high .

The wife owns a load of rice fields up north ,she used to pay someone to grow rice ,for the last few years she has not bothered ,its just not worth the trouble .

No you can open this link in your "browser", we can show you if you like to know how internet works.

 

Here are instructions: 

 

 

yes but they keep begging for cash to keep going ,so must be useless .

Three parter  A Christmas Carol, its a new adaption from the BBC supposed to be very dark and has bad reviews,as it has strayed from the original ,however ,just downloaded it and will give it a try . (as its the BBC wonder if its nice and PC ,Ebeneezer is gay and there is an lgbtxyz  character as well ?????) anyway its in the usual places if you want some Christmas cheer.

Do i have to pay to read the Guardian left wing drivel?

I would be interested to know where you are located. Anywhere near the lake?

Banglamung ,near to Sukhumvit , we rarely have any problems here . it only seems low in the morning , as i said the wife told me the reason ,she knows quite a few high up people ,so i assume she heard from one of  them .

I was in Pattaya got a load of phone calls to see if we were ok ,a friend of a friend was killed there ,remember how slow and useless the British embassy were, nothing changes , been that way since i used to have to go there when we had business in BKK.
