Connect my Samsung Smart TV by USB and watch Movies

Hey, I maybe want to buy a WD Mycloud Home 8TB. I want to watch my movies by usb at my TV. The Problem with network is, that my tv can’t pause a movie while watching via network, so i want to watch by USB.
Anyone already tested?
Or is there a reason, why i cant pause videos while in network mode? I did connect a 2.5 drive at my Fritz!Box and then i could watch a video, but no pause.

Thanks a lot.

If you can’t pause a movie being streamed to your Samsung TV … then it sounds like you should be asking Samsung or on Samsung Forums why you can’t.

Because every Smart TV can and should have that basic function.

Sidenote: Buy a NAS or the Older WD My Cloud … the My Cloud Home is a ‘different’ type of product, which after reading all the posts about here on the WD Forum … i personally would never buy one or recommend anyone to buy one.
