I have:
Synology DS214play
Apple TV
Chromecast
Roku
I want to stream MKV files directly from my NAS - complete with chapters and subtitles (.srt) - to my TV and iPad.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to access my files away from home.
Basically, I want PLEX with support for MKV chapters. :-)
Currently, the only way to get chapters with PLEX is to connect a dedicated PC running "PLEX Home Theater" to each TV on which one wishes to play the MKVs, which is beyond impractical for me. Otherwise, all of the PLEX clients transcode the MKVs into another format that doesn't support chapters.
Remote access isn't absolutely essential, but being able to jump from chapter to chapter is. (My sole motivation for this setup is having the most flexible and convenient access possible to homeschooling videos that have dozens of lessons per "DVD".)
Can XBMC/Kodi handle all of this itself? If not, can it be used in combination with another product(s) to meet my needs?
Thank you!
