Reply To: Playing Mkv Files Local Network

Yes: the media server identifies that the renderer cannot handle the original format, and converts (transcodes) it into a format the renderer has declared it can handle.

I’ve checked again and confirmed that my settings were correct with my NAS media server. Or, I think the settings are correct. However I still can not get certain media formats to play on the TV. Namely mkv files.

Maybe I haven’t quite worked out how to get the NAS box to convert/transcode the files and I only have it set up so that the TV can access the NAS box but has to do all the work itself.

One little task at a time.
