How to Stream MKV files Over DLNA-MP4 Topic

DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) allows us to stream interesting films, vivid pictures and important files from your laptop to your DLNA Certified TVs or other recognized devices, for sharing media contents with family members and friends. Strangely enough, when streaming MKV videos over DLNA, some people claim they can successfully play MKV videos on HDTV via DLNA, while other can't. What's the matter? Does DLNA support the MKV format? Read on to find the reason and the solution to get MKV and DLNA to play nicely.

In fact, MKV is not one of the media options that are categorized because it's not a sanctioned format (like WMV, MPEG, etc.) In addition, MKV is a container format, comprising different types and unlimited number of video, audio, picture or subtitle tracks in one file. And, in general, MPEG1, MPEG2, MPEG4 are the typical supported formats by DLNA.
