When I first got my S8 I could not import straight from CD to the jukebox so I just put a bunch of music on a card and listened that way.

Reading a post a while back got me thinking so I asked my dealer if he could enable the import function and he said sure. He commented that the cars used to come that way and the dealers were instructed to turn it on.

So.... anyone else not able to import music?

And... any tricks to get video to play on the MMI screen.

I can play video on the MMI screen. Definitely from an SD card, and I think I've done it from the HDD, but would need to go check.
I think the only trick was to have it encoded as MP4 (mpeg). Video doesn't display if the car is moving... haven't tried in a while, but I think it cuts off at 3-5 mph, or similar.

There supposedly is a VAG COM tweak that enables VIM (Video In Motion) on the MMI.

Yeah... that's what I want.

I guess it's time to try the search function :-)

MP4.2+6.0

Yes it's there via VCDS, with caution urged for the obvious reasons...like the sad Tesla tale...

Tell us more.....

MP4.2+6.0

The one with the autopilot and the video player found in the wreck after he cruised under the semi trailer broadside at FL freeway speed with no brakes, nothing. All over web. One of perhaps thousands if searched: DVD player found in Tesla car in fatal May crash | Reuters
