Hey I know this thread is old but I'm very new and having the same mkv issue, which is what 90% of my media is. From what I've gleaned here, it's up to the client device's capabilities/supported codecs/containers? I Got a few streamer boxes for christmas to spread around the house and none of them are even showing the mkv files much less play them. Is this a streamer box issue or am I just ignorant about how to set things up correctly?
NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV Pro 2019 model (haven't checked yet)
Google TV Streamer 4K
ONN Google TV 4K Pro 2024 model
LG C series oled tv
I also have a roku but it's a very old and the most basic model so I just assume it wont work
All of these devices that I have tried, I got the jellyfin client from their individual app store. Is it possible that the mkv limitation is in the app itself or the system as a whole? If it is the client they're providing that's the issue, couldn't I just find a generic jellyfin apk that supports mkv and load it onto them? Sorry for my absolute lack of knowledge. I'm just trying to get pointed in the right direction. Thanks for any advice in advance.
