Which video format is supported by LG TV? I want to play my downloaded 4K movies (.mkv and .mp4) on my new 4K Smart OLED TV via USB flash drive, but it didn't work. Why? At next week's party, I'm going to spend the night with my friends. Of course, these movies are also an important part. Please help me, I'm lost. - Alex Akmajian
