That idea won’t work as they are completely different in usage..
You would need a USB socket on your TV to be able to play directly and then the TV becomes a media player.
What you need is either a stand alone media player or a hdmi connection to your computer to be able to stream the video via hdmi.
(uses the TV as a monitor).
Here are some examples of media players..

You can get a HDMI switch quite cheaply so you can switch between TV and monitor without changing settings or constantly plugging/ unplugging the HDMI cable.
Although I would be more inclined to go with a media player as suggested, and probably spend a little more for something with Kodi/XBMC installed or would accept installation.

I have a TV downstairs which has a USB input, so I use that to play moves directly from USB stick. I have a laptop in my bedroom with xbmc/now changed name to kodi, that I have been using to watch movies.
In my children’s room they only have a TV with 1x HDMI input. So I was hoping I could use this cable if it existed and see if I could play movies straight off the USB stick.
Thanks for your replies, wouldn’t it be great if this cable existed, allowing me to play movies without the need for a HDMI player.
