Question Does the rear entertainment package play stuff from USB?

My wife is looking to buy a 2017 X5 5.0 which has the rear entertainment package.

We asked the SA if those screens can play videos from the DVD only or can we put movies that we have backed up as MP4 to play them as well through a USB stick. He said he is pretty sure it can but he wasn't 100% certain

So can it play MP4, AVI, MPEG, etc. moves from a USB stick or only audio from the USB Stick?

It can play videos from a USB drive. I play porn, I mean movies, on my iDrive all the time when I'm waiting for people.

Were you successful in playing USB MP4 video content on the Rear-seat entertainment screens? Has anyone done this?

Yes, I play 1920x1080 .mp4 files from a Samsung 1TB SSD plugged in the rear USB, works fine.
