[quote='voip-ninja' pid='1708640' dateline='1399993418'] I see a lot of issues whether it be VC1, HD audio, 23.976 playback, and now this issue with MKV files.


But yeah, simple answer as always, if this box doesnt meet your needs, then its best to get something else.

I knew about VC1, HD Audio and 23.976 when I bought the FTV, however I'm rather gobsmacked that nobody has mentioned that some H.264 MKVs won't play properly either... that's a pretty big deal of us... those of us who rip our own media anyhow.

i have a 1TB library which is 90% h.264 mkvs, mostly high bitrates (20+gb files) i havent encountered a single one that doesnt play perfect, this is streamed over WIFI via an SMB share to boot.

Everything I play is h.264 mkv's. All my streaming issues went away after I did a restart of the fire tv.
