Hi, I have a Panasonic Viera TC-L42ET5B, running on the latest updated software version available, and for the first time have been trying to play media files on external usb hard-drive (I've always used my notebook to watch video on it until now).
But the built in media player of panasonic viera is really pretty lame... it doesn't have any configuration options for subtitles display, any possibility of loading an external .srt or .sub file, and it doesn't render most recent codecs properly (sometimes screwing up color, audio delay, or with major audio/video lagging, making it totally impossible to watch at all).
Can anybody tell me if it is possible to install another media player on it, like VLC or MPClassic? I DON'T WANT to buy any standalone device for that, I could just keep on using my laptop in that case... it's just that the picture gets SO MUCH better when played directly on the TV software rather than via hdmi, that I've been trying to play video files through the tv since I've realised that...
Does anybody knows if it is possible to install any player or app for that?
Thank you so much...
