Hi, if the FAT32 - 4GB barrier is a problem you could try ex-FAT formatting on drives. !!!!Entirely device dependent as to functionality!!!
read up here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT I have found it to work fine on better quality usb flash drives, and have used this to loop larger than 4GB files directly in a newish Vizio monitor, however the above advice re: Teking the file/ hardware and eventual refreshing likely is needed as it seems to stop/freeze after many hours of play - no guarantee's but worth a look.
