Depending on whether the receiving side is a closed and limited system or a more open system with some kind of embedded Linux inside, I'd just try and reformat with a better file system.
I tried ext4. Doesn't even see the stick.
E.g. many TVs know format sticks with XFS, and also the media system in our company car knows EXT2. ;-)
Ext2 I have not tried. Nor XFS. I'll try.
ext2, no go. xfs, no go. Well, now I know :-) I'm tempted to get a smallish usb3 ssd disk, formatted exfat, for the purpose. Writing a small bunch of movies to a stick to see on the TV take hours. The danger is the telly might think it is too big: my car system can not index a 64GB stick half full with songs :-( -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
