There are devices that act as a hub between two USB ports, but they're probably only going to work between two computers. Dedicated hardware, such as TVs, probably are not going to be versatile to do something beyond the product designer's intentions. And are highly unlikely to give you a way to install drivers to do anything else. It is dangerous to the equipment to try connecting two USB hosts *directly* together (i.e. with a non-standard USB cable). Don't attempt this. You could see if you can plug a USB hard drive into the TV. That might give you a relatively easy to play from a large library of files. But then, on the other hand, the TV's interface mayn't be convenient to use with a storage device that might have thousands of files. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.8.13-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon May 13 13:36:17 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
