I've heard it can be done, I installed it and I can see the PS3 Media Server folders in my System Video Player

I can even get the thing to play .mp4 files that were giving it trouble...

But .mkv?

Nah Dog.

I keep getting told the codec isn't valid and I'm not savvy enough to fix this joint. All of the online tutorials make it seem like its a piece of cake.

I promise if I can get this thing to stream .mkv's I will do something charitable.

Anyone got it to work? Wanna couch a man thru it?!?

**Ed Note: kinda spin-off of Xbox One getting .mkv file compatibility...but I'm not in the market for a new console so I've got to see if there is ANY VIABLE SOLUTION to get the Xbox to do it. It's literally my media hub at home**

works instantly over there. kinda surprise PS3MS even works on 360.

hope you figure it out, it's a great, easy platform.

why aren't you using XBMC though? sounds like that handles .mkv files also.

I was able to implement it on my Android devices but I've never looked into how it works with the 360. I'll do some legwork.

I can do it on 360 and ps3. You have to change something in the encoding settings

I went thru the encoding settings and it looks like everything is set properly. There isn't a lot of info on what needs to be done specifically on the web and a person like me, who has ZERO experience with codecs, gets hung up on stuff that's probably pretty basic.

I think this was all I had to do to get it working

Let me know if it doesn't, it was a long time ago that I did it

I never could get any of my 8gb and up files to act right so gave up on this a long long time ago. I'm so glad that soon XOne will support direct playing of mkvs from usb drives.

Never noticed a problem after enabling the transcoding. I have a decently powerful machine but it's not like a beast or anything.

I had like a 35gb uncompressed file. It was slowing to a crawl. I just gave up.

via usb. Once they get that update that's gonna make my XOne the end all for all my movie watching.
